The chilling wind whipped across the earth, lifting vast amounts of flying snow and blurring the boundaries between the sky and ground. The snow on the roads reached over half a meter deep, making travel exceptionally difficult. No one could be seen on the roads between the villages in this unending, silent snowfall. This was Icebound Town, at the southernmost tip of the Neville Federation, on the Yarran Continent. Some people believed it to be the coldest part of the human territory, the limits of what ordinary humans could endure. Once south of Icebound Town for another 120 kilometers, the Dragon Worship Autonomous Prefecture, with a territory of less than 500 square kilometers, comes into view. Cross through it and the Magical Beast Forest, like a mythical frozen realm, awaits.
