[align=left]FLINTLOCK LODGE
[justify]Some might call it a wintry wonderland, others a glacial hell. But while most would suffer in the bitter cold, Flintlock thrives. These hardened survivors live within both a large ski lodge, and an old ski village, and take their time breeding rabbits for food and pets, and dogs for various other activities. They train pet dogs, combat dogs for raids, guard dogs, hunting dogs, and racing dogs and almost all of them are a brave breed of husky. The dogs are the center of Flintlock, and help the people both survive and thrive in the harsh mountain climate. Here's a glimpse into their world.
[b]The Landscape: A snowy creek. Summer View. Frozen Lake.
-- Brutal and harsh, the northern mountain air spares no lives that are unprepared. Snowy pine forests dot the slopes, and the mountains are filled with creatures such as bears, elk, foxes, owls, and other hardy creatures. Occasionally in the summer, the snow and ice melts, leaving meadows filled with wildflowers. A few freshwater creeks and small waterfalls cut through the territory. There's also a lake, which freezes in the winter, and thaws in the summer months, providing both ice skating and fishing opportunities. For white rafters, there's a fast moving river with rapids, but beware of the waterfalls! Rafting is dangerous during the winter months, but daredevils still manage to do it anyways. Old mines can be found deep in the mountains, some of which have been made home to bears, and mine carts and rails, along with an old ski lift, can be found. The Flintlockers hope that one day they'll find a way to use it again to make traveling up and down the mountain much easier.
The Ski Village. Reference. Typical Hotel Room.
This small town is mostly snowed in during the Winter, with the roads nearly unnoticeable beneath the ice, their only existence is maintained by the prints of feet upon them. In the summer months, the snow occasionally melts, but given the cold, an occasional thin crust still exists. The village itself has plenty of opportunities for lodging and trading, with plenty of hotels, cabins, and stores in which to get cozy and make one's home. There's a stable here where horses are kept, and a barn where the dogs are often bred.
The Lodge: Lodge Exterior. Library. Bedrooms.
Further up the mountain is Flintlock's original home, The Lodge. Some people still live here, despite most having moved down to the ski village. A valuable rabbit breeding farm can be found in the basement, and a small barn provides shelter for hardy livestock. The large lodge itself has plenty of bedrooms, a kitchen with wood stoves, a library, and an infirmary stocked with first aid supplies.
