<strong>The Imperial Highway<br/>Somewhere North of Ostagar</strong><br/><br/>As Eluv'yan finished asking her question, she and Mathius notice something beside the Highway to the north.  It appeared out of the falling snow no more than fifty paces ahead, a lopsided mound to the right of the road, covered in a fingerswidth of snow.  Something moved besides it: a horse, shaking the snow from its mane, attached to the mound by poles and reins.<br/><br/>If they draw closer, they'll realize that the object is a small wooden cart (http://www.laneranch.net/images/wagon%20shoot%2012%2019%202001040.jpg), the type used by farmers to haul their produce to market.  There was a small seat on the front, more like a plank nailed onto the top of the cart, and the horse's reins were looped around a catchpole next to it.  The back of the cart was just big enough for a man to lay in.
