Sheathed in Autumn

A legend of the Living Lands speaks of a marvelous and dangerous garden watched over by four guardians - Northern Wind, Southern Gale, Western Sun, and Eastern Moon. To protect the garden from those who would disturb its wonders, and to protect hapless wanderers from the ravenous beasts and carnivorous plants within, the guardians diverted travelers with their respective domains - frigid and buffeting winds, glaring daylight, and the darkness of night. Three would stand alert each season while one guardian rested.

It is said that Northern Wind left this sword sheathed in the mountain snows each year during its autumn respite.
