The Wild Hunt Setting

A wild winter storm rages around a large house that is isolated from the rest of the world. Traditionally, the Wild Hunt appeared around the time of Epiphany— January 6 in the Church Calendar—when winter was at its most severe in Northern Europe. No country is specified, but this is, after all, a fantasy world. The house is both a comfortable dwelling with a large library in keeping with Jerold's quiet personality, and a parallel setting that matches Gerund's much more active one. A hundred yards from the house is a granite outcrop where the Hunt gathers: "This rock might have been a thousand miles away. Or a thousand years."
