Time passed very fast. Without even realizing it, another 2 and half months passed. The whole Dying isle continent was covered in a blanket of snow. The temperature has dropped significantly. The lakes, rivers, and, ponds were frozen. It was the ordinary class people that suffered the most during the winter season. The cold harsh winter made their lives very difficult.
If one has to specifically talk about the Istarin Empire, then compared to the last winter, this winter, the ordinary people are having a much better time. At least the Istarin Emperor guaranteed a stable supply of food and that is also at a cheap price. Usually, during the months of winter, food prices increase by 100%, sometimes even 200 to 300%. This happens because the entire Dying Isle continent is covered in layers of snow, and farming becomes extremely difficult. Also in the months of winter, it is extremely difficult to rely on hunting. Even fishing becomes very difficult.
