À  M'lord, I am writing this from the icywastes on the new far eastern continent we discovered last year. It is like a   desert of ice and snow, with some       crevices and plateaus scattered here andthere. A score of us were mapping the   area when a huge, eight foot beast was  upon us! It had dark brown fur and stoodupright like a man. It's eyes were huge bulbs. I swear, M'lord, in the twilight the eyes didst actually glow in purple  light. Then it attacked, killing four ofus outright. We countered, and if it    weren't for our Lancemen, us remaining  five would not have survived. We fear   there may be more of these terrible     beasts, perhaps even in the northern    reaches of thine own land. Please bewareof these terrible snowmen. They are     abominable.                                               -Sir Mich,                               Eastern Guard
