The Cindorayi Republic, Population: 163, Year 22 IL, Age of the Quarter Moon
Around the town of Lunysvet now stood a six-foot wall of stone held together by fired glina. As a few builders placed the last stone into place from on top of an improvised scaffold, and the nearby Cindorayi cheered. Though the project was heavily experimental, and the wall was hardly an immense construction, it would provide a basis of knowledge for all future stone architectural projects, some already considering how a stone entranceway would be made.

In the village of Tyrnovuna, the closest to where Sonya's group and the Snow Brutes met, the two parties arrived. They would arrive upon the site of a small farming village with a cluster of around thirty houses surrounded by farms cultivated mostly with mifan (rice) but also other vegetables. There was also a small orchard of fruit trees. As the villages forty-two inhabitants emerged from their houses, Sonya began telling them about their meeting and the farmers offered them small gifts of mifan, various fruits, and meat. Sonya expressed to the Snow Brutes that a few villages lay down the road in the other direction, and named the various things that they were given, along with the houses, farms and tools in an effort to teach them the language.

Nadya carried around a few of the fabric-producing worms in their cocoons, trying to get someone to help her think of a way to detach the fabric without destroying it. As she passed by the cook, Artyomu, he said, "What is it that you have there?"
Reluctant to talk to the cook but desperate for help, Nadya approached. "This worm produces a beautiful and soft material, and I'm trying to figure out how to get it off delicately." Artyomu touched it and laughed. "You're ridiculous. There's no way you can just take this thing's cocoon. Way too delicate for you to remove by hand. The only thing this is useful for is eating." He tossed it into the clay pot in front of him filled with boiling water.
Nadya exclaimed in horror and tried to catch it, but was too late and it splashed down to the bottom. The cocoon, however, immediately began loosening and floated up to the top, leaving the worm at the bottom, at which both Artyomu and Nadya were dumbfounded. He blinked a few times, and said, "Well, I suppose you can have your fish and eat it too." He took two nearby wooden sticks, and maneuvering them picked up the silk cloth and placed it in Nadya's hands. She smiled, and dropped the remaining worms into the pot.
