In a Knight Territory adjacent to Gale Heart, a mounted procession advanced slowly.
In addition to the Qinghui Guard and Royal Forbidden Army that comprised the core pilgrimage contingent, the procession was also swelled with a great number of Yonglan Knights.

Despite it being the season of eternal winter, endless wheat fields stretched as far as the eye could see. A silvery sheen coated the golden stalks as they swayed in the snowy wind, creating one ripple after another across the landscape.
A harsh environment didn't mean farming was impossible.
