Chapter 28

It was indeed nearing the beginning of winter when the group returned to Arün. The deciduous trees of Elven Guard were bright oranges, yellows and reds til the leaves fell while the pines stayed evergreen until covered with white snow. It was the time of year in Arün when warm clothing and blanket sales spiked. The elves collected mass amounts of dead wood to use for firewood from the forests around and stockpiling non-perishable foods, unwilling to leave the warm comfort of their homes. Elves had four seasons on their calendar, much like any other race, but in the high mountains of Elven Guard, it snowed for half the year. The other half was warm and full of sunshine.
