"The snow storm is extremely violent. You can barely see your hands if you hold them in front of your eyes! Suddenly you see a glimpse of a warm light. Perhaps a hearth nearby? A shelter? You can't believe your luck as you approach the tavern; an oasis of warmth in the snowy desert. You burst in through the doors into an extr...

Firstly, this isn't a 'winner gets all' thing. As always, I'll take the vote weight into account and balance production more that way, but still include other locations as long as some of you want to see them :)
