Northland Geographica[]
Not many know that, aside from being the Lumopolis Guide, Ms. Blanc is also an avid traveler and a talented tour guide (though her exclusive guided tours are only for her closest, most respected guests). We had the pleasure of interviewing Ms. Blanc, and this book is a compilation of the topics discussed. Customers who have pre-ordered this book at any of our affiliated bookstores will receive a special Ms. Blanc postcard, and 10 lucky buyers will receive an autographed postcard as a gift.
Introduction[]
People often say that lakes are pools of tears shed by the gods themselves, and Lake Mirror is no exception. The oldest and arguably most beautiful lake on this continent, a great tragedy must have befallen the gods to have created such a place.
Volume I: Lake Mirror[]
"Ms. Blanc, could you tell us more about Lake Mirror, the 'Teardrop of Northland'?"
"Of course! Lake Mirror, known as the 'Teardrop of Northland,' may just be Northland's most representative landmark."
"Although Northland maintains freezing or near-freezing temperatures year-round, the special composition of Lake Mirror prevents it from ever freezing over. As a result, it retains its beautiful, mirror-like appearance at all times, its waveless, jade-colored surface adding color to the surreal winter landscape of Northland."
"As for its creation, one legend says that many years ago, the royal family of Northland once traveled to this place. Inspired by the beauty and romance here, they painted a scene of such breath-taking natural beauty in their minds and, through magical means known only to them, made this crystalline lake and surrounding mountains a reality... But I think most people agree that it is simply a naturally occurring glacial erosion lake."
"On its western bank is a field full of white narcissus flowers, another facet of Lake Mirror's natural splendor. However, I must advise everyone to avoid setting foot in this place, since it is Lady Nikinis, known as the Geminos Mirror of Northland, who personally planted the flowers there, and they are as dear to her as if they were her own children. In one instance, a few guests disregarded the warnings and went to pick some flowers as souvenirs, only to be suddenly thrown into the frigid waters of Lake Mirror by Lady Nikinis herself. *Giggles* It's not easy to fish people out of that lake, you know?"
"And so, to avoid any unnecessary harm, please stay away from the flower field when visiting Lake Mirror!"
