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[]
At first glance, it may appear to be a hilly expanse, but according to local legend, Northland Pine's true appearance is known as the "Shattered Crystal".
Volume III: Northland Pine[]
After traversing the snow-covered fields of Northland, you can expect to find rest and comfort within the hills of Northland Pine. Cold and weary travelers are often greeted by warm cabins, soft beds, and piping-hot soup. Although the land is far from flat, the unique terrain blocks the frigid winds of the north with shocking efficacy. The climate is generally warm, even humid, and has given rise to countless villages within its hills.
In the distant past, the first settlers of these hills found countless green crystals in the ground, shining like emeralds. After further investigation, they found that the area was rich in these crystals, and some were as big as a full-grown person! Eventually, they came across an even greater discovery: the hills were actually giant crystals, themselves! The elders among the settlers concluded that the crystal hills were once part of one gargantuan crystal and that the gods had shattered it to form these wonderful lands.
Nowadays, travelers can expect to see these beautiful, natural crystals dotting the landscape in abundance. However, out of respect for local beliefs and traditions, mining of the crystals is strictly prohibited. Naturally, visitors are also prohibited from taking so much as a grain-sized crystal from this place. Please be respectful of this on your trip!
