Anyone know much about these glacial nomads?
I RPed as one once; traveling south following the Blue mountains away from the Bay of Forochel. I bumped into a Dwarf, on his way to the northern Holds; I believe named after one of the Seven Dwarves ( 'Snow White and the...' that is).
got lost in the woods quite quickly...
...happy days
*rummages in his pocketses*
Can't believe I kept this old thing...
*puts it on the table and reads sentimentally*
Alpine Road (First ever RP post)
The north south road passes a lake, deep and cold. By its still waters sits a young man cross legged on a large rock, facing the rising sun; relaxed in the knowledge that apart from alpine elves or solitary animals, he was unlikely to encounter anyone, on the surrounding wooded slopes. Early autumn birds are singing, yet the lake collected far enough south to be unfrozen, and the young man to wear only light furs.
Beside him on the rock lay his hardwood quarter staff, arrows, and composite hunting bow made of wood and animal horn. As the morning wore on the chance of meeting travelers on the road, dwarves or even other men, would increase. He stood to survey the road heading south, which skirted the western bank of the lake. From his vantage point, he could see someone in the distance; too far off to determine race or purpose. Sitting down again he basked in the sun once more and waited neither bow drawn nor staff raised.
Meanwhile to the west a change in weather was afoot.
The first breeze, subtle warning of the approaching storm; made Hann turn and stand once more. Forgetting the traveler he gathered his things. He would have need for shelter soon and the southeast valley lay well beyond the lake, where the road ran down hill again.
[That reminds me: the Dwarf was called Breezy]
