exhale my crystal

You exhale softly on your sanowret crystal, and scintillating sparks of light dance across its surface.
You hear in your mind a quiet recollection of wisdom.  Though you think that you could get more knowledge if you were to GAZE into the crystal, you come away from the experience with a further understanding of Arcana as the scintillating lights fade again.

Ice detected!
You had better slow down! The ice is far too treacherous for you to move as quickly as you are.
You go west.

[Himineldar Shel, Mountain Road]
The road curves sharply as it slides along the sheer walls of ice that coat the mountainside.  Along the outer side of the path, a deep chasm sweeps downward to end in a gorge filled with dagger-like rock protrusions littered with the remnants of wood and bone.  Rushing icy water spews down from a wide crack in the mountainside, the spray freezing instantly upon contact with the frigid air, making travel very hazardous.
You also see a pile of rocks.
Next move: ice southwest
Obvious paths: east, southwest, northwest.

Far below, a lush valley is visible, framed within jagged peaks of icy black stone.  A gentle mist rises from the jungle as tropical birds sweep amongst the stone-grey canopies that push in close to a massive black spire set into the southeastern wall.  The low babble of water reverberates off the icy walls of the mountainside, slowly slipping downward in semicircular beds of ice that follow the contours of the roadway.
Next move: ice southeast
Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.
Some ice has hurt your chest in the fall.
