It's currently Winter in Seasons Alter, and there's a preternatural stillness to everything. The crystals at the center of the stone circle reflect the sky palely, and the runes half-buried in the snow are frosted over with a light glaze of ice. The trees standing sentinel give off a spiritual warmth, despite their skeletal appearance.
This is a land accustomed to change. One feels the great Axis Mundi slowly turning beneath and above, shifting the weather toward the next inevitable stage. The lesson here is clear: love it or loathe it, appreciate what's before you, for soon it will be gone.
1. Er, "rune" is probably not the word you're looking for. Monolith, sarsen, menhir, standing stone, are some other options.
Thank you for reviewing great builds. They're fun!
