You will be as disappointed as I am that just putting very interesting and amazing stuff in the surroundings of a story doesn’t always persuade characters to take advantage. Things you will not be seeing in the book, despite my earnest endeavors and a lot of research and backstory work: a mammoth hunt, harnessing caribou/reindeer for transportation of anything, Irish elk shaking those tremendous antlers, or the terrifying attack of a pack of dire wolves.
