Snow Mountain

Snow Mountain is the location where the first half of Rock Dog occurs. It is the birthplace of Bodi, Khampa and the rest of the sheep herd.

History
Snow Mountain is a sanctuary for sheep, which live as a community and protected by a guardian, which is from the same family. Because of this guard, the village is separated by Khampa's post, which needs to be passed by in order to get to the bridge that connects to the village. So, Khampa is the one who decides who enters and who leaves.

According to Fleetwood, it is not clearly known how the village is called by outsiders, but the local villagers call it Snow Mountain. It's relation with the city or the rest of the fictional country is also unknown. However, both Snow Mountain and the city are connected by a bus service.

Geography
Snow Mountain is named after its location, a snowy set of mountains. It is located in a pocket within deep in the mountain, known to be rural and a peaceful place for those who look to escape from the City life. However, the place seems to not be known in a large scale or extremely few people dare to reach it, as far the lore goes, Fleetwood Yak has been the only citizen who has permanently moved to it.

Despite being located within snowy mountains, the place is often a sunny hot spot, with green lush and vegetation that does not seem to be touched by the snow, and several waterfalls, one within the village itself. However, in the scene where Bodi leaves to the city, it can be seen that there's a limit as to how far the pocket goes and is clearly defined.

It is heavily based on the Tibet, from the structure of the houses to the town being located high in the mountains, within snowy mountains. Khampa and Bodi wear clothes that are heavily based on Tibetan clothing.

Establishments
While being mostly composed of houses, Snow Mountain maintains a few service amenities, including a barber shop, a tavern (The Warp and Wept), and a wool products facility (This Old Yarn). There are also storage facilities for dry goods, very dry goods, and fireworks. Khampa's house and the watchtower are located on a separate hill from the village, connected by a bridge.

Trivia

 * It's implied that Snow Mountain villagers don't know the name of most things and mostly make up names for the ones they don't know. Like "The Magic Singing Box" for the Radio or not knowing the city's name.
