- Closer to town, the mountains are thick with pine trees and trails and look rather ordinary. The further north you travel, the trails vanish, the trees become sparse (before vanishing altogether at treeline) and you start to encounter icy cliffs and glaciers. It may involve climbing or even crawling through tunnels, but it is passable, if exhausting. All this on top of the eternal blizzard which starts raging about a mile beyond treeline.
Normal Limbo animals also vanish beyond treeline. Instead there are faint will-o-wisp looking balls of light drifting about (harmless) and beasts that appear to be made entirely of ice. They hide in areas with poor visibility and then charge out to attack. They can be broken or melted, just like ice.
- The Brink will be visible as she approaches. Pretty hard to miss, as it is very bright.
- Stepping beyond the Brink feels strange, initially. A full-body sensation of something wrong, impending dread, or just plain tingling. The landscape becomes extremely bizarre and surreal, with weird lights, hallucinatory visions, and the horizon appearing to simply drop away into nothing.
The Brink sort of works like stepping out of bounds on a video game map, where everything is unpredictable. You may be able to linger for a bit and have a look around, but one wrong step or one second too long and everything shorts out/Mara finds herself evicted from her own body. As a ghost, she can linger a little bit longer but there will quickly come a tugging sensation, like she'll be sucked into the great beyond if she doesn't retreat.
Stepping back across the Brink immediately teleports you to the mountain entrance. So at least she won't have to walk back!
- She will be able to sense her body as a ghost, a faint sort of "call" when she's within about 4 miles of it. Think of standing in a crowded, bustling room and hearing someone say your name- you'll have to concentrate in order to find out where it's coming from and how far away. (You can throw Mara's body anywhere in the city limits you like.)
- Her body will have anything on it that it did when it vanished, provided it was secured to her person. If loose, the furs and other items may be lying around nearby (like a portal opened up and her body crashed through it.)
That should about cover it but feel absolutely free to ask any other clarifying questions!
