    There lies far in the Northeast of Sosaria, a frozen and miserable rock. Known as "Dagger Isle", it is a land covered in ice and snow. If the chill of the wind doesn't get you, the creatures wandering the frozen plains just might instead. Frost trolls, ice snakes, or a living and violent vortex of snow are just a few of the horrors that await the adventurer that visits these cold shores.

    There is a shrine, known as Honesty, nestled among the Frozen Mountains. Even the shrine itself hides it's own secrets, buried deep under the ice and snow.

    A Frozen Jail, lost and forgotten. Signs of a slow and chilling demise litter this place. A tomb found only by those with the spirit of an imp.

    There is, however, hope for the traveler that wishes to search this desolate place for treasure. Or perhaps the dragon master that seeks the rare and legendary wolves, bears, and jaguars that are rumored to hide among the berms of snow.

    The lonely cabin. For many years as cold and empty as the rocks that surround it. Taken back from the icy grip of the frozen waste, it is now a place of warmth and respite. The "Pilgrim's Rest". A place where weary travelers may take refuge from the ice and wind of the Isle. Inside you will find a warm bed, food, and a small shelf containing books of travel to various places in the land.

    Ok! That ends the theatrics!

    Many thanks to @Snorko for help in decorating this house. Also, probably without knowing it, @LanDarr as well, for inspiration to make this a place where the folks of UOR might find some practical use in it. See, when I first started here there was a cabin in this place, and the sign said something along the lines of "Peace's Rune Library" (forgive me, this probably isn't word for word what it was, but you get the point). Anyhow, back then, despite the name it was empty. And sat that way... basically from then until now, with some brief periods of use in between, by other temporary owners.

    My goal here was to provide that library that was advertised so many years ago. Well. To a degree anyway. I always thought it would be super helpful to have some runes in a public spot here. So, here they are! The house has been made public, and I hope it sees some use. There is a small shelf upstairs with some rune books, they can take you to towns, stables, dungeons, and shrines.

    Enjoy UOR! Thanks for making this such a great place to visit our memories of Ultima Online!

    PS: I realize I forgot to mention that according to legend, before my time, there was indeed a rune library here. By the time I arrived and saw it, it was under new ownership and the sign was simply never changed. So, no, Peace didn't tease us with the notion of a library in an empty house lol.
