Book 19: Chapter 2 (4)
“Well, we’ve finally made it to town. And I can only say that, there’s a whole world of difference between what I’m seeing and what I’ve heard.”
After a long night, Shin and his party arrived at the town at the foot of the Grandmost Mountains.
The name of the town was Meatra, which, in Elvish, meant pure.
The place was not too large and surrounded by a wall about five or six mel tall.
Shin was impressed because the townscape and its surroundings were tinged with white.
The cause was the snow. At a distance, they could still afford to be aware of the majesty of the mountains. However, as they got closer, this was no longer the case.
In the beginning, there was only a light cover of snow on the ground, and then the amount increased exponentially as they advanced.
And not just a few cemels or dozens of cemels.
The sheer amount of snowfall reminded Shin of the heavy snowfalls he had seen on TV.
