<strong>The Imperial Highway<br/>Somewhere North of Ostagar</strong><br/><br/>Aside for a single burlap sack full of potatoes, the cart was empty, and the fingerwidth or so of snow was easily cleared out.<br/><br/>Mathius or Eluv'yan may notice a small arrow, the type used by shortbowmen, jutting out of a mound of snow on the ground a pace or so away.  It had been hidden from their eyes on the Highway, positioned as it was behind the cart.  If they brushed some of the snow off, they'd uncover the very cold and very dead body of a farmer face down on the frozen ground, the arrow sticking out from between his shoulder blades.
