One thing I noticed while playing the game in some of these snowy areas was that they were missing a Taiga. Kamihr Drifts just to the north seems to have what appears to be an open that crosses paths between the mountains. Somehow, I wonder where it goes. Knowing Vana 'diel is a rich inhabit anted environment. It lacks areas that are commonly known as Taiga's. A place where a tiger commonly referred to as Byakko in Vana 'diel might exist.
