Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greybar" data-source="post: 2532888" data-attributes="member: 4938">The boat pulls along until the village of Icecreek appears along the shore.  Hollus looks about and then with some surprise says, "Ah, he must not be about today.  That's his boat there pulled up to his dock."The village is not too large in number of buildings, but is quite spread out.  It extends from the shores up the immediate rising hills towards the northernmost spire.  As the village grows north it appears to have more widely spaced buildings with grazing fields of a sparse green amongst scattered large grey outcroppings of stone.  Off to the far left (south) the land does seem more green and fertile, with trees and planted crops surrounding homes that appear to have been added to and expanded by multiple generations.  To the right the land gets rockier, with only a few buildings, and some of them look abandoned.  The center of town (such as it is) is a cluster of a dozen or so buildings, surrounded by a low wall of stone and wood.The dock you are approaching doesn't extend too far out into the water, just enough to have a shallow place to pull a small boat up to.  And indeed a small boat is there, with a wide strip of ragged blue-grey cloth on the mast.  The flag feebly waves out towards the lake in the cool breeze that seems to sweep down from the spires.</blockquote>
