INTRO " Our landscapes connect us to our history; they are the source of our character as a people, as well as our health, our safety, and our prosperity. Natural resources enrich us economically, yes. But they also enrich us aesthetically and recreationally and culturally and spiritually. " The painter’s watercolour picture of Haeseni rural region Accompanied by God, we have settled in a new land, a new area that is unknown to all of us and will be - until this moment. What we can see around us is a dark and dense forest, with some parts covered with snow, of course until we extend even further from our warm homes and see an example of a real, harsh and cold winter. Since time immemorial, people have settled where it suits them best, either because of Mother Nature who gives them positive energy, or for greater benefits that suit them in any way. No matter how much a man gives himself at least a few moments of rest to enjoy in his environment, again we do not have enough time to look around and stare at the beauty that surrounds us. In a word - a look, just one look is enough to make your gloomy and dark face smile. The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. II. CONTENT Whoever comes to Haense for the first time, from any part of the world, first notices the snow - a white blanket that sharply covers the little greenery that settles around the walls and rivers. Cold winters are what have been in the presence of our Kingdom since time immemorial, and frankly, people neither mind nor love it there. The road to Haense is chained with snow, with spruce trees and conifers of white branches. As one approaches the gate that divides the city and the outer region, one notices that the snow is slowly disappearing, and that the spruce trees are now getting their natural, dark green color. Of course, snow cover can be seen on some trees and fields, which really speaks to the winters of Haense. The watercolor picture of taiga-conifer mixed forest The very entrance through the gate gives a new aura, the kind that every cold region gives. Although the air is harsh and cold, this in no way prevents people from the surrounding houses from sowing what goes best with the winter. The most common things you will notice are planted in the surrounding fields and fields are potatoes, carrots and grain. The import and export of these products is what gives to the financial benefit of the Kingdom, and also to the farmers who plant and plow diligently. If you go a little deeper into the city, following the beautiful alleys you can reach the port, where all the ships of the Kingdom are anchored. The coast of the Kingdom of Haense around the harbor is not overly steep, but the other water surfaces are surrounded by steeper shores, which in a short transition turn into high hills and mountains. The steep shore near the Haeseni dry dock We mentioned the port, which means that in front of us is a large water region, which again means - the possibility of fishing. The most common type of fish is cod, which, as fishermen say, goes best with baked homemade potatoes. As the people have just moved to the new area, there are not many fishermen present, but with God's help there will be more of them in the near future, with full nets in the water. Haeseni dock, with loaded fishing cargo If we started from zero altitude, and climbed more and more along the hills, we would be surrounded by dense coniferous forests, this time without snow. The taiga biome is very present in the southern part of the Kingdom, with various berry confusions, plants that give color to the cold north, as well as rocks that have been standing there for a long time. The people in such conditions and places mostly work with trees, considering that a large part of the Kingdom is made up of forests. Sawmills are the number one place for anyone who is familiar with the field, and the craft, which is very valuable. The sawmill on the way to Karosgrad, situated at where it snows and where it is dry Places have been mentioned where the possibility of the people settling is high, while one region has already been left out. Ice glaciers, which can be seen in the valley before the main gate, are special in many ways - extremely low temperatures, fascinating shapes, as well as their beauty and natural appearance are just some of the things that make them special. It is good to mention that frozen trees stand there - without anything to make them feel at least a bit alive. No birds, no bugs, animals. It seems that winter is not something to joke with. For now, there are no life forms written here, which means that, probably, even the strongest man in this world should not, and perhaps could not, survive in such conditions. Ice Glaciers and Frozen trees can be found behind the road to Karosgrad, covered in harshly cold ice and snow III. SHORT NOTE Dear readers, this was a small introduction to the landscapes and beautiful surroundings of the Kingdom of Haense. This is a summary of everything that is important to know, when the story of one of the most beautiful places in Almaris is started - which every proud Haeseni person will confirm. I note - my first official book, maybe you could say an encyclopedia of a region, but each to his own way. This text would not have been written if I did not have a special desire and motive to write it, but fortunately, I hope you will now look back on this booklet anytime and anywhere. Let us be proud of our country, of our history, and first and foremost - of what we have, because only in this way can we move forward, without looking back at any moment. Written by: Father Alfred Barclay, priest of Karosgrad and scribe of the Queen's Council 30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branchio 93 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Juliane Barclay reads carefully over her father’s work, drawing her fingers over the well done paintings. “Perhaps it is time I give father a visit,” she’d mumble to no one in particular, only pocketing the article to look over again later. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
