New mines and industries are opened, light breaks the gloom of ancient ruins, change comes to sweep away the cobwebs of history. But cobwebs do not go easily into the dust. This realm that has broken its vows to Winterwhite and will now pay the cold price. About Longwinter: The Referee's Guide: This book contains secret knowledge and mechanics for the referee.
