The Roots of the Mountains
Authorship not stated
You are Face-of-god, promised to the Bride of Burgdale and expected to settle for marriage and the lowland cities, but drawn instead toward the unmapped mountains to the east. Alone on the slopes you are ambushed by a stranger and saved by his sister, who gives her name only as the Friend and brings you under guest-right into a hidden hall. She already knows your face and your betrothed's, and promises a token that will open the road to her people - once winter has passed.
