Stranded or Wayward Travelers:
Winterpaws Kingdom is no stranger to the plight of encountering many lost travelers on the multitudes of trails the mountain range holds leading to many locations. At various points along every trail, travelers may see, in their time of stranded need an ice sculpture of a winged maiden in armor praying to the heavens. Usually within this area is a warm spring to tide the cold over and keep the lost alive. Anyone making use of these wintry oasis will be watched and if they are in dire need will find a sleeping mist upon them, moving them to a restful, healing sleep. Once awakened, they will be in the Winterpaws Kingdom where they will receive aide, supplies and easily transported to the destination of their choice.

Rough Background of Winterpaws Kingdom:
Winterpaws Kindgom was founded upon the remnants of an old kingdom that had become doomed to it's arrogance and abuse of its people and land. The old kingdom, Winter Land, was cursed by a coven of Karma Witches that were abused by the king of old. The land withered, the wildlife and flora vanished and withered away. The people went mad and insane, for the curse placed on them was that they'd never leave the mountain alive ever again, old or new, the generation did not matter, such was the deep ire put upon the kingdom by the coven.

This curse was made manifest as Lady Winterpaws surveyed the land many years later. She met with a lone Karma Witch tasked to watch the old kingdom and warn away naive travelers from sealing their own doom. This meeting was thus the fateful end of the curse on the old kingdom as the witch proclaimed that Lady Winterpaws was the cleansing force the land was waiting for. In an efficient manner, Lady Winterpaws contacted an ally of hers and allowed that allies forces to know where the old kingdom was. The ally, fond of collecting souls and punishing those who were truly vile was allowed to sweep in with his army and eradicate what was left of the feeble kingdom, with one caveat. Should those of new generations show true repentance and understanding of their curse, they were to be spared and allowed to be members of the new kingdom and the rebuilding of the land.

Thus we are now to the present, much hard work and toil has gone into restoring still serviceable buildings and structures, pulling down and building anew needed structures, fortifying, and the long hard task of survey, study and coaxing the long abused land back into life.
