Goods from the Cecil Empire are gradually flowing into many northern kingdoms across the continent. Even in this cold winter season, driven by high profits and supported by the royal family of the Empire, merchants are undeterred by the harsh winter or the perilous journey, bringing items that are either novel, interesting, or extremely useful to faraway foreign lands.

The cold wind whistles across the mountain ridges, swirling layers of snow and cold fog around the fortress. Huge fire pans burn fiercely throughout the fortress, with oil mixed with Frostfire Grass juice and Glittering Crystal Dust causing the flames to emit a blood-red glow, unaffected by the howling cold wind.
