The boss has been pulling gems from the mountains at this site for years now. It hasn't made him any less grumpy.

The mirrors stand tall above the surrounding landscape. You can see them from a great distance as they catch the sunlight, reflecting it across the snow. Will you gaze into them and see who gazes back?

There was a small town that prospered somewhere nearby. One day everyone simultaneously forgot it. Even written records vanished. It's as if it never existed.

In this place the seasons come and go rapidly. Many travellers have been unprepared when the spring shifted to winter in the span of days.
