The 250-kilometer mountain road that crosses the Snowflake Mountain Range is the most dangerous section of this trade route. Whether it is traders preparing to head east across the Snowflake Mountain Range or those who have just traversed westward out of the mountains, most choose to stay in Ruitawen City for several days to repair and resupply. The former do so in preparation for the frequent battles that lie ahead, waiting for more caravans to move together, while the latter need to replenish what was consumed in the passage through the mountains.
