*A thin, cold wind sighs across the snow-dusted peak as you lay out your offerings of meat and kindling.

His voice, when it comes, is a low rumble like distant thunder.* "Thou comest to this lonely place with a persistence that speaks of more than curiosity. What purpose drives thee to seek out the wind and the old one who listens to it?"
