Summer, Hiking, and the Lake

From the last run on April 15 to the first snow the Realm is walked, swum, and sailed. The summer is short, bright, and cool everywhere but the Aurelia shore, and the Luxians spend it outside.

The lake

Lake Aurelia from Verdian: swimming from the harbour beach, sailing from the harbour, and fishing for trout and char by licence from the harbour master. Boats cross to Marlaneis on the southern shore. The lake is warmest in August and gold every evening of the year.

The forest

The Western Forest March is stone pine, larch, and red deer, cut by the Silvershine and the Forest road to France. Aethelgard is the base; the woodcarvers work through the summer.

October

The larches of the Valdoria Valley turn gold, and the Luxians count it as a sixth season. The paths are at their best and the resorts are two months away.

Rules

The four reserves are open on foot. No hunting; fishing by licence. Above the tree line the mountain is the Sentinels' business; tell the Pass House in Purgnar before a summit day.
