Southern Reaches

A Warning to Travelers in the Southern Reaches
Wander, wither you wander

But ware, lest you founder

And rhimed wind scour bare

Upon the plain, the old warfare

Of mind, body, and despair

So wander ever, wander on

Till you find, ere anon

That to the warmlands should you cleave

For frigid wastes, you shant leave

Purpose
Warning written on the gatestones of the last village, before entering the southern reaches. Also an automatic alert that pops up in the navigation system of any mechanized vehicle entering the region.
