The Midwinter Podunk

"Not far from the densely populated regions of civilization, a small hamlet rests upon a sleepy mountaintop, nestled comfortably on a small plateau overlooking the neighboring valley. This hamlet, not inaccessible, nor concealed, is seldom visited.  While not immediately evident, something incredible exists here. Something sought after by many but found by a lucky few.

Peace. Tranquility. An oasis of calmness in an otherwise busy land. One might call it perfection. While the snowfall persists across all seasons, the ever-present winter is never harsh, nor is it unwelcome. Those who reside are a curious folk, however. They cannot be described as odd or unpleasant. In fact, quite the opposite. It is the absence of such features that one would consider odd.

The few travelers who venture here are greeted warmly with mugs of warm spiced ale, treated as family, and cherished by the locals. Songs can be heard echoing down the mountain path, beckoning to those homesick travelers desperately in need of respite after arduous journeys. Such a hospitable embrace from such strangers might be hard to comprehend, but they care not. They are rich in their own way, and sharing such riches with passerbys seem to only increase the wealth that only they know how to keep.  

If only the rest of the world could adopt such harmonious existence, perhaps truly there would be hope for peace across the realms. For now, such cozy existence is cherished by those who know where to look."
