Description
Note: Witchwinter is not an alternate history of this Earth. It's very similar, but specific historical events, people or persons do not exist. That being said, it is often easier to use equivalent societies or concepts to explain the setting.

Geography: The focus of the Witchwinter circle is the western coast of an area that is superficially equivalent to the American continents. Yet it is larger, reminding of Laurasia, with a southern subcontinent that is a mixture of South America and America. There is a huge mountain range extending almost from pole to pole parallel to the coastline, similar to the Andes and Rocky Mountain ranges. The coast is mostly of a temperate sea climate - or had been, until the seemingly never ending Witchwinter began - and beyond the mountains there are vast plains, deserts and, to the south, huge primeval forests.

Climate and ecology: Even though the continent is covered in snow and ice almost down to the Tropic of Cancer, it is an supernatural winter, barely reaching the freezing point. Agriculture is difficult under these circumstances, but huge migrating species of game, similar to caribou, bison and even mammoths travel the vast expanses and can support both nomadic hunters as well as fearsome predators. The seas and rivers, though often frozen over, teem with fish and stranger aquatic species. When enough water has accumulated in the mountain seas and slopes, spectacular floods race down the valleys.

So I wanted to do another picture with Maralah and some nice mountains. Actually I could not fit all the ideas into one picture, so a couple more are imminent

DAZ3D Studio - Iray Render. Minor Photoshop post work. mostly removing clipping errors & raw filter. About 8 h - 3k iterations.

Update. Fixed the corset shadow. It drove me crazy.
