Emberflame Ridge Burning incandescently

Dating this before her other thread because Saghani too will be investigating the range, and it makes sense to start here before Lonestar!

 

In the distance she had seen the mountains. The night before the moon had illuminated the snowcapped peak of one in the range in particular. It was quite like something she had heard of, something that was meant to act like a compass in ones travel, except that it definitively was in this one single place, rooted, never shifting even as she circled to search for it. Not a star, then, but indeed a mountain; and Saghani was not made for peaceful forests or open plains, anyway. It was time to head toward the corrugated horizon, and so she did just that. 

The winds were high when she arrived, but she felt no chill past her thick winter furs. Still, the warmth the forest provided was welcome, and a nearby Ridge buffeted the cutting air. Saghani had traveled long to get to this point and thought that resting would be beneficial. She herself was already at the point where the ridge began, though moved—for now—away from it to move deeper into the forest. Perhaps she might scavenge something there. That was her desire, then. Her nostrils flared and she sniffed hoping to suss something out in this wilderness.
