Great Bear Wilderness snowheart

This place enchanted him, these kingdoms of the south. Adrian drew out his days stepping through the great wilderness, wondering ever deeper at the wolves who lived here. Their faces, their values, their customs. Were they anything like the caribou hunters?

No, they were many more. Their reach seemed to sprawl ever onward through the wintering wilds.

And this rusted girl, the second that he found. 

She snared her fox with impressive speed, and Adrian admired the control and command this youth - even so young! -already displayed over skills that took others much longer to learn.

There were great things to be wanted here. He felt it in his bones.

Admirable catch! he praised her with good cheer, I have seen others twice your age struggle with such a chase.
