The weather turned warm, and the snow melted.
The ice and snow on the northwest highlands melted into trickling streams, the streams converging and flowing into the river channel, then dividing into several branches in the lowlands south of the Gigantic Tree Path Entrance, flowing all the way southeast along the terrain. The intertwined waterways in the lowlands irrigated a fertile land near the Gigantic Tree Path Entrance, making this place one of the largest grain-producing areas of the Plains of the Holy Spirits and a strategic point repeatedly contested by the Eastern Territory Rebels and the Anzu Kingdom's military.
The fires of war burned close. Though they had briefly extinguished in winter, with the weather warming, the shadows of war returned to this land along with the rising waters of the river channels.
