Icy streams runs through Vigilance. Branches crack under the weight of ice. Frozen buds fall. As the day warms ice shards fall from the trees and shatter. Visitors follow fox prints through the snow. The foxes follow rabbit scent trails.
Snow blankets the land. Ducks walk over icy ponds.
During the day, trails become mud. Thin trees reach for the sky.
Beings made of ice slowly walk under low, dark cloud cover. They watch the border.
They look through icy eyes with blurred vision. Everything looks closer, wetter, and likely to break.
Ice bricks wall the capitol Sadness where houses are made of ice sticks. Mourners come to the ice palace Grief surrounded by ice sculptures of mythical and long dead creatures. Anyone may enter through the Portal of Sadness (but no one sneaks by the borders of Vigilance). They may spent a night or a weeks in the ice city. Many visit the Grief Palace annually. Sadness glistens with melt during the day and at night freezes solid again.
