Many people that live in areas where it snows during winter don't have any possibility for farming during winter, and usually live from supplies gathered during the year.</p><p>In southern Salkamar and Gynk, snow is extremely rare and in some places even completely unknown. Still almost all races, people and creeds have a memorial day for remembering the deceased during Chos. Followers and priests of Cheerga often hold ceremonies in well-heated chapels on cemeteries.</p></div>
