Dardek, Grymm, Jacobsen and 1 more. (DL, AM, NC, NM)

The convoy gathered in the early hours of the morning in the market square in [[Wullman]]. The clear sky and crisp morning were a promising sign for the caravan that was to set forth for the whaling port of Abbleton on the coast via the treacherous Ice River Trail. The wagons were heavily laden with the good the town was so famous for - precious minerals, rare ice pearls and mysterious heartwood, as well as the people that made it infamous. The ragtag expedition of wagoneers, guides and guards were lead by the grimm Tor but also played host to a bevvy of common folk, a pair of knights, a mute, a shifty looking individual, an odd couple and various other strange folk who paid their passage to leave Wullman. Stranger still were the steeds that pulled the modified wagons that ran wide spiked wheels but also carried stout wooden skis. A pygmy mammoth, pair of elk, and wooly horses were chosen for the task. This was not Tor's first expedition, but was it to be his last?

The caravan ventured forth from the foothills onto the icy tundra of the glacial valley that played host to the chillest winds known to mortal man. A few days of trekking brought them to the ice floes of Logjam River. The crossing was treacherous and was not without loss. One beast of burden perished in the event when an iceberg calved and dragged the poor creature into the crevasse. Not to waste anything, Dardek quickly carved up the elk. With one wagon stranded on the wrong side, the caravan had no choice but to separate and head to another known crossing, The Autumnford.

Blizzard storms swept in that afternoon and erased all sense of direction.
