Two Rivers Isle This world is only gonna break your heart

@Adylaide 

They stood before a river, with a forest on the other side. The river was a slushy mess, not quite frozen, not quite running clearly, and Ulrich was loathe to attempt to cross it. Still. Rivers could go on for miles and miles, and he did not want to go around if that could be helped. There must be a shallower place to cross, he told Adylaide. Or some stepping stones, if we're lucky, though if there are any, they may be iced over, which would make stepping on them treacherous. He followed the length of the river first left, then right, as far as he could see, slowly. Help me look, he said, and began to trot alongside the water.
