Author's Foreword
I am fond of nature, and I was inspired to make a map that evoked a peaceful alpine scene.
In terraining, I experimented with broader brushstrokes. I wanted to create a more naturalistic, calming effect. It is quite different from anything others are doing (although I already had such tendencies in my first map, Furbolg Mountain, over a decade ago.) I am quite happy with the result, and I hope players like it too.
One unique feature is the free marketplace in the middle. This idea was actually the impetus for me to create this map. The first version from conception to first cup took less than a week!
A second unique feature is the Barren's mercenary camp. I think it's a shame that there are so many mercenary camps in the game, but most are unused. The Barren's mercenary camp should not be overpowered. This is a bit of caution, in order to increase the competitive viability of the map, but I hope that it will still be fun to play with something new.

Map Description
Flowers will bloom again
Man has but one spring
Seek not fame or riches
To be happy is divine*
*This is my paraphrase of a well-known Chinese verse:
花有重開日
人無再少年
不須長富貴
安樂是神仙
