[ It’s night. The frozen winds from the East Sea sweep along the Dvina river, casting the land into a northern European winter. The snow falls lightly now, but based on the thick snowdrifts, this is only a recent development. A near-by, massive river has long since iced over, and if you close your eyes for a moment too long, they’ll freeze shut, too. The trees grow thick in the distance, but here, it’s rather open. A clearing, if you will.
In that clearing stands a city. Not the late-Medieval, stone and rock fortress city with a moat and towers-no, no, not in the least. Stone is far too expensive, especially up here. Instead, from the outside, all you can see are massive, dark wooden walls.
Welcome to 13th century Riga.
The Teutonic Order is currently running around in the snow outside the city walls. His cheeks are red and ice-burnt by this point, but he obviously doesn’t give a damn.
Come join him, because, honestly, he’s too excited to invite you. If you leave him a message, it'll be a while before he gets back to you. ]
