normally when colder conditions arrive, animals go into a state of suspended animation called hibernation, when they go into a state of inactivity for long periods of time, which they do not come out of until more suitable conditions for them to survive in arrive. however, when animals live in an environment that is inhospitable for much of the year, then hibernation is not necessary. one of the few animals that does so are lemmings, which have a mass migration after they come out of dormancy. however, most animals living in the arctic would still be active, even during the most brutal times of winter. aquatic animals such as greenland shark, wolf fish, atlantic cod, atlantic halibut and arctic char must cope with the sub-zero temperatures in their waters. some aquatic mammals, such as walrus, seal, sea lion, narwhals, beluga whales and killer whales, can store fat called blubber that they use to help keep warm in the icy waters. some ungulates that live in frigid conditions often have pads under their hooves to help have a stronger tension on the icy ground or to help in climbing up on rocky terrain. but mammals that already have a pad under their foot such as polar bears, wolverines, arctic wolves and arctic foxes will have fur under their pads to help keep their flesh concealed from the cold. other mammals such as the musk oxen can keep warm by growing long, shaggy fur to help insulate heat. and this can be quickly shed off when warmer temperatures arrive. but with the snowshoe hare it will change the color of its fur from white to brown or with patches of brown when it sheds off its winter coat. this is to help camouflage itself in its new environment to match with the dirt during the summer or back again when it regrows its longer white fur to match with the snow during the winter.

gry barre is the daughter of the brantor of the neighboring domain of roddmant, and orrec's friend. lindow describes her as representing "all that is good in the upland culture". her gift is the ability to communicate with animals; while still a child she is able to hear the speech of animals in the farms, and later she trains coaly, a guide dog for orrec. she refuses to use her gift to call animals to be hunted, and is depicted as edgy and resolute. despite being young, she is depicted as caring deeply for other beings, she visits orrec in his despair, and persuades him to tell her stories, drawing him out of his grief through his gift for poetry. after she marries orrec and the two decide to leave, she says "we might go as far as the ocean shore", suggesting that though the uplands have become too limiting for them, their development is not complete.
