A grey sun hung in the sky. The forest was shrouded in ethereal white mist. The towering forest canopy was immensely dense. The closer the dry branches were to the ground, the sparser they became. The road started to rise from Burton Province's provincial boundary area towards the higher grounds. The mountains gradually buried the hills and valleys behind them. When one arrives at the geographical coordinate of Rylie Plateau, the sky appears to be within arm's reach and everything under the heavens appears to be magnified.
The great form of the mountains in the distance blocked the warm and moist current from the southern ocean. The cold current from the north would gather here and thick lumps of clouds clearly warned the people that countless snowstorms were brewing.
