The mountains were just that. We were climbing a pristine white mountain slope, with trees blanketing the area, while snow fell gently onto the ground. My ship hovered to a close height above the ground and dropped me off. Paledon followed suit. When my feet landed on the ground, I could immediately feel the snow beneath me, along with the cool wind blowing against my body; and for a brief moment, I looked like a lost Thrall as I stood in the wilderness for the first time in ages—drinking in the sights, the smells, and everything that came with being outside.
