Snow Surfer

Each Everice Wanderer, as part of their initiation, must venture into the blizzard-strewn wasteland and find an ancient magical vehicle now called Snow Surfers. Able to harness the winds upon the snowy planes, they allow the Winter Knights to travel farther into the Everice than anyone else ever has. Shaped of the very light Royal Blackwood endemic to the land that became the Everice, and enchanted by long-lost arcane magic, the vehicle resembles a raft or small boat with a flat bottom and a large sail of white runecloth (an art similarly lost to the ages) which harnesses the winds and snows and latent magical environment to propel the small craft at great speed. Each is outfitted with a compass, providing direction in the pure white environment where usually little other navigation is possible.   These surfers were constructed for travel towards the beginning of the curse of the Everice by the few that managed to survive, perhaps the same group that went to found the Everice Wanderers themselves. Nowadays, they are used by the Wanderers to travel between the few strongholds they maintain in the wastes and to ancient ruins to recover more artefacts. Though magical and withdrawing power from the weather itself, for currently unknown reason the snow surfers require brief periods of rest after a few hours of high speed travel to recharge. None who tried to wade their way to the heart of the cursed land has managed it, for the vehicle does not protect the driver and the weather grows too strong, but one named Emeron the Blue has managed to cross the whole cold desert in less than a week by circumventing the capital.   The Everice Wanderers pursue and take out anyone who is not of their Order that uses one of these vehicles, whether stolen or found honourably.
