For several weeks now the weather surrounding the mountain pass has grown worse, with day after day of heavy snowfall coming down from the peaks. The weather itself is strange for the season, causing many to speculate as to what might be the cause of it. This change in weather has made the mountain pass nearly impossible to travel, and extremely dangerous. Surely the stall in trade and travel would draw the attention of the people of Eldarus, likely frustrating many merchants and wanderers.
