Mountain ridges snake across the landscape, perpetually covered in snow—a region of extreme harshness, devoid of human presence.
The locals call this mountain range Mount Walters.
Mount Walters is a name mentioned in an ancient text, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas."
The book describes Mount Walters: "Without vegetation; merely a mountain, with snow in both winter and summer."
In short, year-round, Mount Walters is always cloaked in a thick layer of snow that never melts.
Mount Walters lies adjacent to the Blackwood Forest, forming a natural barrier perfectly situated along the border's defensive line.

Sheffield Benedict had his suspicions.
But he never shared them with Wayne Lane.
Because even if Wayne knew, there was nothing he could do.
Hannah was stubborn.
This was not a derogatory term.
