The Cherry Trees Arrive

[OOC: Millitimed to tonight, because I won’t be able to post early in the evening. For those who are new, or those who need a refresher, the requisite Back Room info post is here.]

Some time during the night, thick clouds envelop the moon, leaving the land around Milliways plunged in darkness.

When the clouds move on and the moon shines again, things have changed.

The once-bare-mountainsides and foothills are covered in grey-barked trees, thirty feet tall at most. There are winding flagstone paths up the mountainsides with occasional clearings in places that will provide a good view. At intervals along the paths and around the clearings are stone Japanese lanterns with lights that begin to glow at sunset and dim out at sunrise.

There are also some new trees near and at part of the lakeshore, with a little wooden pavillion. The little Air Nomad temple now shares its island with some of these new trees as well.

The trees aren’t blooming yet. But the clusters of pink buds on their twigs look like they’re ready to open very soon.
