Editing Winter on the Lake (section)

== Basic description ==

GM: JeStor
System: Pathfinder, 2nd level start

Concept: younger folks living alongside a lake in a isolated area, but only isolated from major population centers. The lake is very dangerous and only the shallower end (the one you're near) is fished and crossed...and crossed only in the winter when that end of the lake freezes.
The winter isn't harsh, but it is long and lots of snow...so think just below freezing for six months with ten foot drifts.

You do among other things gathering from a group of monasteries that are on the far side of lake. In addition to that, you also serve as mail carriers and a regular path of information between all of the various groups living in and around the lake. It's a artisan kind of society with the people there making a living producing goods outside of the trappings of civilized society. This isn't to say they're barbaric, as they aren't, but they live in this fairly isolated area because they choose to.
