  13. Newer trees have started growing here near the edge of the grove, their size, while still large, is smaller than their neighbors to the east.

You also see an elder blue-dappled prereni, an elder blue-dappled prereni, an elder blue-dappled prereni, an elder blue-dappled prereni and a burly cave rat.

  691.  
  692. [Almalne Alolan, Fallen Tree]
  693. One of the Ilithic apple trees has succumbed to nature and fallen to the ground, half of its branches broken and lost under its bulk. Smaller plants have started to take root upon the decaying tree, a living display of new growth taking the place of old.

  712. [Almalne Alolan, Orchard Edge]
  713. Ancient Ilithic apple trees stretch their heavy, twisting branches toward the sky. The thick trunks stand in straight lines, showing that this was once an orchard, likely long abandoned. Leaves and sticks create a carpet of noise, which threatens to crunch with any movement across them. A faint trail winds through a briar patch to the nearby field.
  714. Obvious paths: north, west.

  720.  
  721. [Almalne Alolan, Briar Bramble]
  722. The grass gives way to the tangled briar bramble that grows unchecked along the line of Ilithic apple trees. Buds of pale pink and fully bloomed roses spot the deep green with their delicate hues. An occasional rustle or the sound of birdsong comes from within the bushes where many an animal probably makes its home.

  730. [Almalne Alolan, Golden Field]
  731. Meadow thistles attempt to gain a hold against the tall stalks of grass, their stems and leaves covered in tiny but sharp thorns. Topping the prickling plants are the fuzzy purple heads of the flowers. A trail winds through the field, branching off toward a stream in one direction and a grove of trees in another.

  740.  
  741. [go2]>northeast
  742.  
  743. Tall grasses hold a golden tone as they sway and rustle with any breeze. Tiny red and purple hollyhocks dare to poke their heads between the stalks, their bright colors a striking contrast to the otherwise monochrome field. A heavy gate stands between the field and the nearby road.
  744. Obvious paths: north.
  745.  
  746. Room Number: 9676
  747.  
  748. [Jademist River, Edge of the Fields]

  757.  
  758. [Beside the Jademist River, The Road to Shard]

  760. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest, west.
  761.

  766. [go2]>north
  767.  
  768. [Beside the Jademist River, The Road to Shard]
  769. A slender sword of gleaming silver heralds the presence of Shard on the distant southern horizon where the city shimmers in the sun. The blackness of the forest to the north is easily forgotten, even in the distant presence of such splendor. The Jademist River vanishes on its way southeast, disappearing into fields of golden wheat.
  770. Obvious paths: north, southwest.
  771.

  776. You run north.
  777. [Beside the Jademist River, The Road to Shard]
  778. The churning rapids of the Jademist River slow as they skirt the road, their fine mist settling over the ground and curling about you in lazy circles. The jagged mountains break out of the canopy of dense forest, their snowy white peaks distant and austere.
  779. Obvious paths: northeast, south.

  787. [Beside the Jademist River, The Road to Shard]
  788. The rapids of the Jademist rush by, hurrying southeastward. Small flowers dare to bloom near the water's edge, petals bearing foamy droplets that have strayed from their path. The road dances dangerously close to the angry river, playing touch-and-go with the high bank as it winds south and north.
  789. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

  794.  
  795. You run northeast.
  796. [Beside the Jademist River, The Road to Shard]
  797. The river is at its widest and most furious here. Like an angered lioness, it rages southward as if caught in a frenzy. Rapids rush by, water breaking against rocks and stony banks. The gentle fog that hazes over the moving surface partially hides the danger of being swept away in the violent currents. You also see a ruined caravan.

  806. [Edge of the Wood, The Western Riverbank]
  807. A small white bridge gracefully arches over the rushing water of the furious Jademist River. The soft pattering of the water's movements sings a cadence as alluring as any fae's melody. A curious pale green fog lurks around the stones near the edge of the riverbank, occluding the rapidly shifting surface.
  808. Obvious paths: north, south.

  814. You run north.
  815. [Edge of the Wood, Western Riverbank]
  816. A great river courses strong and proud beside the road, a light mist softly rising from its surface. Rocks jutting from the banks try to catch the running water, daring to thwart its progress, yet it runs on steadily.
  817. Obvious paths: northeast, south.
  818.  
  819. Room Number: 2826

  822.  
  823. [go2]>north
  824.  
  825. [Edge of the Wood, The Western Riverbank]
  826. The western riverbank of the Jademist River flanks the road, both for the moment holding a mutual course through Ilithi. Further north lies the dense lushness of the Dragon's Breath Forest, while to the south, the road meanders toward the mystical Lake of Tears.
  827. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

  832.  
  833. You run northeast.
  834. [Edge of the Wood, Cove by the River]
  835. A small cove dips into the edge of the forest, the trees leaning back just enough to allow a shallow pool to collect beneath them, their bright green leaves skimming against the glass-like surface of the water.
  836. Obvious paths: north, southwest.
  837.  
  838. Room Number: 2828

  842. [go2]>north
  843.  
  844. [Dragon's Breath Forest, Edge of the Wood]
  845. Very little sunlight streaks through the dense canopy of brush to the north. Even here, where the forest thins, the lingering darkness of the trees seems to settle like an ill wind brushing over a grave.
  846. Obvious paths: north, south.
  847.

  852.  
  853. You run north.
  854. [Dragon's Breath Forest, A Dark Path]
  855. To the south and the east, the glistening movement of water glimmers brightly through the scale-like leaves of the dense growth surrounding the road, the distant sound of rushing water confirming the presence of a river nearby. The forest stands tall and stark, a wall of impermeable vegetation save where the road has carved its way through.
  856. Obvious paths: northeast, south.

  864. You run northeast.
  865. [Dragon's Breath Forest, A Dark Path]
  866. The forest begins to lose some of its denseness as it thins to the south. The canopy above is interspersed with shafts of light, the trees allowing light to fall through to dapple the path below them.
  867. Obvious paths: north, southwest, west.
  868.

  872.  
  873. You run north.
  874. [Dragon's Breath Forest, A Dark Path]
  875. Rocks and stones lie scattered along the path, the road crumbling as roots and vines grow into it. This is a place not often walked by travelers. The denseness of nature, as if this was her very heart, is quite apparent. To the east, a faint break in the walls of green shows an otherwise unnoticeable branch in the path. You also see a massive white elm tree.
  876.  
  877. [go2]>east
  878.

  893. [Dragon's Breath Forest, A Dark Path]
  894. Trees close in around you, dark shadows like angry ghosts looming sullenly in unidentifiable shapes. A flash of movement, a rustle in the leaves, and it is easy to understand why so many swear that this forest possesses a preternatural sentience. Leaves, sharp like keen, straight blades, extend from the dense underbrush to languidly stab at the air.

  903. [Fayrin's Rest, Telgi Mod'Sunhin]
  904. Massive oaks extend a silver-grey canopy of leaves that fades quickly into inkblack darkness from here to the east, north and south. The air shimmers and whispers sibilantly of long growth and gradual decay. A few slender cedars and elm mark the beginning of a denser forest to the west, one marked by greater undergrowth and steeper rises. You also see a small obelisk.

  912. [Fayrin's Rest, Telgi Mod'Sunhin]
  913. The road winds with easy grace through a lightly wooded clearing. A large burrow of Halflings snuggles against a cedar to the north, fitted with a series of curtained windows and filtered vents. To the other side of the Telgi is an ancient oak, gnarled with age and disease.

  921. [Fayrin's Rest, Anloraten Crossing]
  922. It is not much of a meeting place for roads and their travelers: a broad lane wandering through an impressive forest, a dirt path created from disturbed underbrush. But such as it is, this crossing is a major traffic area for Fayrin's Rest. Several local residents sit on benches in front of small dwellings to watch the arrivals and departures, by turns amused, pleased, curious and disdainful of what they see. You also see a signpost and a wooden bench.
  923. Obvious paths: north, east, southeast, southwest.

  930. [Fayrin's Rest, Telgi Mod'Sunhin]
  931. A burrow and a few inconspicuous squat houses sit off both sides of the road, almost completely concealed by oaks and cedars, elms and waves of rolling brown earth. A few Halfling children watch you discreetly as they create and manage a town several feet long, comprised of small pebbles, twigs and a devoured turkey leg. One of the children winks so briefly that it might have been a joke shared among the light, the thin emerald shade and the two of you.

  940. [Fayrin's Rest, Telgi Mod'Sunhin]
  941. The forest is shady here, beneath towering oaks that spread their branches like gods chanting spells of creation. Small cylindrical houses of limed earth and wood cluster at ground level. People engaged in gardening and chatting with neighbors glance briefly your way and nod, before returning to their activities.

  949. [The Edge of the Forest, Before the Dragon's Breath]
  950. The lushness of the forest begins to form a living wall, the leaves of the towering trees tinted with the dark hue of brightly-polished scales. The path to the north dwindles into the more sinister area of the harsh mountains.
  951. Obvious paths: southwest.

  958. [Obsidian Pass, Foothills]
  959. A wooded path winds its way through some low foothills on the edge of both forest and mountain. To the south stands the Forest of the Dragon's Breath, a place of much myth and legend. To the north, the Spine Mountains rise over the land, their jagged peaks tearing rents into the sky.
  960. Obvious paths: northwest.

  970.  
  971. The tall shadow of the Spine Mountains towers into the skies, casting a dark shroud over the area. Thin, green grasses and small wiry flowers eat away at the crumbling rock here at the base of the foothills. Their presence signifies the proximity of the forest's edge. You also see a pile of rocks and a switchbacked path leading into the mountains.
  972. Obvious paths: north, southeast.
  973.  
  974. Room Number: 2900
  975.  
  976. [Dragon's Spine, Mountain Foothills]
  977. The trail becomes spotty as it meanders its way along the rock strewn canyon beside a wide riverbed containing a tiny trickle of water. Sage and juniper cover backsides of steep tan sandstone hogback ridges that angle downward toward Shard. Underbrush rustles as tiny brown sparrows, blue-bellied lizards, and russet squirrels forage for food. You also see a snowbeast and a switchbacked path snaking its way out of the mountains.

  986. [Dragon's Spine, Mountain Foothills]
  987. Winding its way around one of the steep ridges, the rutted path travels between hills. Small dirty gray white patches fill the chill shadows cast by an abundance of thick brush and large stately oaks. High overhead a kestrel floats, hovering on updrafts as it circles for game. You also see some large rocks.

  996. [Dragon's Spine, Mountain Foothills]
  997. The foothills quickly bow in submission to the majesty of the Spine of the World Dragon Mountains. Icespear Peak dominates the view as it thrusts impressively skyward vanishing into fleecy clouds that wreath the summit in mystery. The white robed mountains seem to extend into infinity to both the east and west, and offer little in the way of passage. You also see some large rocks.

  1005. [Dragon's Spine, Canyon Trail]
  1006. Following the narrow gorge, the path becomes arduous as it climbs over rock falls and between tangles of river debris. High upon the canyon rim, abundant pine, fir, and spruce flourish but grow more sparse as they descend upon the canyon walls until only the occasional doughty bush or tenacious pine cling precariously to the mountainside. You also see a snowbeast, a granite gargoyle, a granite gargoyle, a granite gargoyle and some junk.
  1007. Also here: Khrispy.

  1015.  
  1016. [Dragon's Spine, River Camp]
  1017. The canyon widens, its slope less severe, as the trail climbs steeply into the mountains. Icy clear water trickles though a small channel in the boulder strewn stream bed. A small circle of charcoal blackened stones grace a small flat sandbar that is nestled like a comb between the braids of the twining riverbed. You also see a snowbeast and a steel-bladed brass razor.
  1018. Also here: Duskwalker Jardani who is darkened by an unnatural shadow.

  1026.  
  1027. [Dragon's Spine, Mountain Shadow]
  1028. Temperature drops dramatically as the canyon weaves westerly into the shadow of the World Dragon's Spine. Abruptly, the scenery is transformed into a wonderland of ice that glitters and shimmers in the canyon as the trickling stream finds its source at the melting edge of a wide and frozen river. Icicle lances drape from seeps on the ice shattered canyon walls. You also see a snowbeast.

  1036. [Dragon's Spine, Astrar's Sorrow]
  1037. The canyon terminates in frosty splendor, though the trail continues on, steeply switch-backing its way up the slick mountainside beside a stunning waterfall. Hanging from a valley far above, Astrar's Sorrow descends as a glittering cascade of frozen water forming a pleated veil of icy tears that fall perpetually without movement to the solid river of ice below. You also see a snowbeast, a small crevice in the ice just behind the waterfall and a granite gargoyle.
  1038. Obvious paths: east, west, up.

  1043.  
  1044. [Dragon's Spine, Behind the Waterfall]
  1045. Footing becomes quite treacherous here as each new step brings forth more uncertainty. Tiny rivulets of icy water trickle down from the waterfall and freeze, adding to the already slippery sheet of ice on the ground. The more adventurous traveler might either chance the dark woodlands ahead or ferret out some way to penetrate and attempt to swim the frozen river. The less daring of souls will quickly retreat from whence they came. You also see a rickety wooden signpost stabbed mercilessly into the ice and a small crack in the ice wall.
  1046. Obvious paths: none.

  1052. [Dark Woodlands, Rugged Trail]
  1053. A bitter chill lingers in the air and sends shivers to creep along your spine. Dense clusters of mountain ash trees, heavily laden with icicles, line the rocky trail and bow reverently towards the earth. You also see a cleft between the trees.

  1092. A persistent tap-tap-tap and then another, deeper tap-tap-tap throbs at the temple as some unseen woodpecker overhead forages for insects deep in the bark of a rowan tree. Fescue grasses grow tall around the base of each tree, vying for any available moisture.
  1093. Obvious paths: north, southwest.

  1099. Silverwood trees line the hard-packed rocky path, casting long pockets of shadow across the brush. Red and black berries, in various stages of ripeness, dangle invitingly across the trail from the myriad of chokecherry bushes stealthily hidden in the brown grass. You also see a moss-covered footpath.

  1108. Tamarisk bushes display their feathery tendrils, nearly as delicate as the web of a spider. Each footfall creates a rather hollow sound upon the nearly dry earth. Stretched full-length across the trail lies a decaying old log.

  1116. Willowy branches reach out from the low bushes lining both sides of the trail. Slender fingers laced with thorns await any opportunity to snag an errant coat sleeve or a patch of bare flesh, claiming it for their own. You also see a grizzled red leucro, a steep embankment, a fallen and decaying log stretched across the trail and a grizzled red leucro.

  1124. Utter stillness and the grandiose play of nature settles across the landscape. Wildflowers form an elegant multicolored drapery across the towering bluff and lend a sweet aroma to the cool mountain air. You also see a pile of rocks, a pile of rocks and a steep embankment covered in a blanket of golden yellow columbine.

  1142. [Dark Woodlands, Rugged Trail]
  1143. Nature, with all its mysterious forces, works undisturbed in this remote wilderness. The soft gurgle of nearby waters becomes welcome music to the ears, though the stand of towering silverwood and spruce trees on the horizon does not offer up the same invitation.
  1144. Obvious paths: north, down.

  1151. [Undergondola, Narrow Path]
  1152. Widening and flattening out, the steep climb begins to level into a narrow path up the mountainside. Tall purple lupine blossoms line the trail, their fragrance mingling with the crisp mountain air in a refreshing pause on an arduous journey. You also see a stone wall.

  1158.  
  1159. [Chasm, Vertical Pothole]
  1160. Vegetation creeps in and out of the face of the rock. One possible avenue for further exploration appears to be a narrow ledge, barely wide enough to place the toe of a boot-clad foot, that leads straight up the side of the deep chasm. You also see a stone wall.
  1161. Obvious paths: none.

  1166.  
  1167. [Chasm, Vertical Pothole]
  1168. The steep climb shows no signs of leveling out nor of providing any further assistance to a weary mountaineer. Writhing gently inside a craggy niche, a large black snake attempts to wriggle out of a withered skin, its cloud-covered eyes both piercing and merciless. You also see a narrow ledge.
  1169. Obvious paths: none.

  1174.  
  1175. [Chasm, Vertical Pothole]
  1176. A stand of tall trees comes into view overhead, further dimming the light and making it increasingly difficult to find a foothold up through the pothole. Caution is absolutely necessary to prevent a case of vertigo from settling in and overwhelming the senses. You also see a craggy niche and a thin silverwood branch stripped of its leaves dangling out over the chasm.

  1193. You run northeast.
  1194. [Obsidian Pass, Mountain Trail]
  1195. The creak of ropes and the screech of stone clashing with stone bounces through the pass from somewhere to the south. A trickle of dust followed by a shower of pebbles falls down the sheer mountainside, serving as an irregular waterfall of stone and earth as well a reminder that this place is not so stable as it may seem.
  1196. Obvious paths: east, southwest, northwest.

  1213. [Obsidian Pass, Mountain Trail]
  1214. The lonely cry of an eagle echoes between the sides of the narrow pass, a haunting sound. Dark trees creep slowly up the mountainside in either direction, and further to the west the eternally white peak of Icespear Reach rises up majestically. Rubble and scree lie scattered across the trail.

  1222. [Obsidian Pass, Guard House]
  1223. The jagged black mountains for which this pass is named jut to the east and west, just barely allowing passage for the north-south road. A guard house is situated beside the path, looking as if it were melting out of the mountainside. Elven runes are cut into the walls, and a sigil of warding has been carved over the doorway. You also see a Shard Sentinel and a well-made blockade.

  1232. [Foothills, Steep Path]
  1233. The mountains begin reclaiming road here, their rocky mouths and jagged teeth piercing the passage with fang and claw. Even the very sky seems to betray the land, for water and wind erode the dirt of the route away, leaving patches of bare rock facing the lone sky, naked to plain sight.

  1242. [Foothills, Artesian Well]
  1243. An old artesian well, still used by traveler and trader alike, stands alone in the dark shadow of the great mountains before it. Oblivious to the road, to the northern city of Leth, to the dark peaks in the south - it remains a symbol of the enduring adventurer's spirit.

  1262. A large marble statue has been shattered and broken by the roadside. The image of a Human woman's face, mouth wide with terror and fear, stares out at you from shattered stone eyes.

  1768. [Southern Trade Route, Esouvar Deriel]
  1769. A stream's silver hue breaks through the monotonous dark of the landscape. The cadence of rushing water dancing around rocks and branches echoes quietly through the trees, a deft, delicate movement of song. You also see a forest trail that wends its way alongside the stream.
  1770. Obvious paths: north, south.

  1777. [Southern Trade Route, Esouvar Deriel]
  1778. A haunting shadow, perhaps the spirit of some child lost long ago to the forest, lingers in the area. Leaves rustle, their bleak hues perhaps a shade lighter than they should be. The dark skins of the ironwoods glimmer sullenly with the sheen of a thousand dew drops.

  1787. [Southern Trade Route, Esouvar Deriel]
  1788. A cracked rock lies near the roadside, large and wide enough for a weary traveler to rest their heated pace. Its edges are smooth, the roughness of the stone worn away by countless passersby who have all made their small, if indelible, impression upon it.
  1789. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

  1795. You run northeast.
  1796. [Southern Trade Route, Esouvar Deriel]
  1797. The road twists and winds southward, the density of trees becoming sparse and thin as the frequency of travel picks up. The Deobar Bower Gate to the north peeks quietly over the dark ironwood trees clustering around Leth Deriel. You also see a cozy red fieldstone cottage and an unremarkable home.
  1798. Obvious paths: north, southwest.

  1806. [Southern Trade Route, Esouvar Deriel]
  1807. Smooth flagstones line the dusky-red soil of the road. Bright yellow flowers peek from around dark patches of green moss, their tones falling gently over the sparse earth like abandoned drops of sunlight. You also see a cozy stacked stone cottage and a darkened deobar house.
  1808. Obvious paths: northeast, south, northwest.

  1815. [Deobar Bower Gate, Esouvar Deriel]
  1816. A tall gate rises over a well-kept road. Ironwood trees gather in patches around the steep city walls, their dark forms casting shadows over the thin brush. The slender bows and branches that make the thick panels of the gateway into Leth curve and twist, their still-tender bark formed into a living arch by a lifesculptor's hand.

  1824. [Leth Deriel, Deobar Bower Gate]
  1825. A tremulous throbbing fills the air, replete with murmurings from an unseen host, like pulsations from the heart of the impenetrable forest beyond the barrier of deobars that grow here. Sympathetic vibrations, higher pitched, seem to emanate from the Sana'ati Dyaus at the town's center due northeast. The living wall of trees has been recently fitted with a rattan and wicker gate that remains open night and day, leading out to a road winding south through the forest.

  1835. [go2]>northeast
  1836.  
  1837. A break in the living barricade forms a clearing that leads to the southwestern city gate. Through it, all you see is forest beyond, lofty, silent and forbidding. An old ranger, bowed and wizened, hobbles past, spewing a wad of some masticated greenish ooze directly across your path.
  1838. Obvious paths: northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest.

  1841.  
  1842. You run northwest.
  1843. [Leth Deriel, Elder Bark Circle]
  1844. A sudden snap in the deobars overhead is followed by soft, urgent footfalls along the arboreal platforms that circle the Elven stronghold. You can barely hear the creak of a willow bow being drawn taut, ready to loose a well-aimed shaft at the heart of an enemy. Not wishing to stay for target practice, you redouble your pace.
  1845. Obvious paths: southeast, northwest.

  1853. [Leth Deriel, Elder Bark Circle]
  1854. Fiddlehead ferns and low growing shrubs line both sides of the path between the tree trunks. Many tender young fern stalks poke out of the soil, as though someone had harvested their tips. Along the inner curve are thirsty green willows among whose roots play delicate, crystal trickles of clear water. You also see a wooden building.
  1855. Obvious paths: southeast, northwest.

  1863. [Leth Deriel, Elder Bark Circle]
  1864. The deobars here sport large patches of brownish-green moss on the north sides of their trunks. The humus on the ground is exceedingly damp as well and home to lichens, toadstools, and clumps of feathery fronds. Your footsteps leave depressions that fill up with small puddles of water.
  1865. Obvious paths: north, southeast.

  1872. [Leth Deriel, Elder Bark Circle]
  1873. Elder Bark Circle intersects with Black Willow Lane to the east here. The junction is broad and the hard packed, rich loam that paves the byways of Leth Deriel looks well trampled. The earth feels solid and comforting beneath your feet, but a damp, musty scent wafts in from the south.
  1874. Obvious paths: north, east, south.

  1881.  
  1882. [Leth Deriel, Elder Bark Circle]
  1883. Peering into the foliage to the southeast, you notice a great black willow tree. Its hoary, drooping branches cascade down and the leaves tumble earthward like innumerable, brilliant green sparks from an Elothean fireworks display. In an upper fork of the willow's massive trunk is a tall, thin structure. With no apparent access from here, there must be some other way to approach the willow.
  1884. Obvious paths: northeast, south.

  1890. You run northeast.
  1891. [Leth Deriel, Elder Bark Circle]
  1892. The inner arc of the road is bordered by neatly trimmed primrose bushes, a little beyond which are tall stands of poplar, plane and birch in an unlikely mix. Remarkably they are all thriving, magnificent specimens of their kind. Small paths, hardly noticeable at all, leave the main road and meander off into the growth but are too faint to follow. You also see a poplar tree with a gleaming silver bell inlaid with a multitude of opalescent treehopper toads hanging from its lower branches.
  1893. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

  1899. You run northeast.
  1900. [Leth Deriel, Elder Bark Circle]
  1901. A thinning of the wall here lets you catch a glimpse of Oracle Hollow, beyond to the northwest. You feel drawn back to the early ages of Elanthia, to the days of those ancient oracles in primitive times when the forest had a life unto itself. Vows, oaths and prophecies were often uttered in the sheltered glades, canopied groves, the stone cromlechs and sacred precincts of the primeval woods. You also see an impressively large hut built of skins and deobar.
  1902. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

  1909.  
  1910. [Leth Deriel, Elder Bark Circle]
  1911. Dense stands of deobars form the town palisades that curve to the northeast and southwest. The impenetrable defense is made even more daunting by clumps of raevelthorn bushes that grow close to the ground in the gaps between the trees. Their branches, with razor sharp thorns facing outward, appear to have been woven craftily among the trees.
  1912. Obvious paths: northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest.

  1919.  
  1920. [Leth Deriel, Alder Bower Gate]
  1921. Huge, broad leafed alder trees shoot up tall and straight, sentinels in constant watch over the main gate that leads into and out of Leth Deriel, ancient Elven stronghold. Their spreading crowns meet high overhead, forming a dense, impenetrable roof, as stalwart as any fortress made by nature or artifice. The way leading into the town is quite wide here.
  1922. Obvious paths: southeast.

  1926. Room Number: 1991
  1927.  
  1928. [Southern Trade Route, Outside Leth Deriel]
  1929. Directly before you to the south stands the main entrance that connects Leth Deriel with the outside world. Huge stands of alder trees form the gate, their branches raising and falling to allow caravans, expeditions and large groups to pass through. On either side, a living palisade of deobar trees serves as a protective, impenetrable fortification around the entire stronghold. You also see a knitted wool cloak, a lazy farm peccary with a hooded mistsilk robe elaborately embroidered with gladiolus pattern on it, a dark gem pouch and Alder Bower Gate.
  1930. Also here: Takeover Artist Jep who is blurred by hazy afterimages.
  1931. Obvious paths: northwest.

  1937. You run northwest.
  1938. [Southern Trade Route, Bosque Deriel]
  1939. The Elven woodland fortress of Leth Deriel looms before you to the south, its walls of defensive deobar trees forming huge arcs to the southwest and east. The high tops and entwined branches of the Alder Bower Gate overshadow the south section of the road. Even from this distance, you see the tallest, most ancient and most venerated tree in the Elven lands, the Sana'ati Dyaus, which stands at the center of the city.
  1940. Obvious paths: north, southeast.

  1949.  
  1950. [go2]>northwest
  1951.  
  1952. A purposeful rustling overhead makes you look up. Atop platforms of lashed branches and planks stand Elven archers, watchfully guarding the approach to Leth Deriel. The treetops bristle with their numbers. In various spots of the road, you notice broken arrow shafts sticking out of the dirt. These appear to be recent additions to the roadbed.
  1953. Obvious paths: north, south.

  1957. You run north.
  1958. [Southern Trade Route, Bosque Deriel]
  1959. Sounds unlike any you know whirl about you in a choir of whisperings, rustlings, murmurings, and guttural hisses. Strange calls, unlike those of any bird, reverberate in the treetops. You feel as though this is all for your benefit or rather to your detriment, as though someone or something were watching all the traffic along this route, and signaling your approach.
  1960. Obvious paths: northeast, south, southwest, northwest.

  1968. [Southern Trade Route, Bosque Deriel]
  1969. While pondering the fantastic variety of flora here, you listen to the wildlife encircling you. Familiar bird songs, insect chirpings, and the rooting of forest-floor foragers all comfort you. And yet, there is an undercurrent, a foreign and disquieting subtext of sounds and voices that lie just outside your conscious range of hearing.
  1970. Obvious paths: southeast, northwest.

  1978. [Southern Trade Route, Bosque Deriel]
  1979. A more enchanting mix of foliage, exotic herbs, fragrant plants and glorious undergrowth exists perhaps nowhere else on Elanthia. Surrounded by what can only be called a forager's paradise, you marvel at the bounty of nature. Each individual species here has something of value to offer the body, soul, or spirit. Taking a deep breath and casting a long, wistful gaze, you continue on. You also see a deobar tree guarded by a giant blade spider hanging from the branches.
  1980. Obvious paths: north, southeast.

  1987.  
  1988. [Southern Trade Route, Bosque Deriel]
  1989. Handcarts, porters, and caravans laden with trade goods and commodities bound for Leth Deriel pass through here heading south, while heading north are soldiers, mages, and savants of one kind or another, fighters and other less prosperous figures. A ranger is bent over the side of the path, inspecting some curious flowering plant.

  1997. You run north.
  1998. [Southern Trade Route, Customs Post]
  1999. Several thin trees are propped up across the path in a kind of makeshift gate. Half a dozen Elven archers are stationed around their commander, a tall and stern figure in the flowing green cloak of his regiment. A large balance scale, some wooden pallets, and a tent form the inspection station where those entering and leaving the domain of Leth Deriel pay tolls and taxes, and attend to the inevitable ensuing paperwork.
  2000. Obvious paths: south, northwest.

  2006. [go2]>northeast
  2007.  
  2008. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2009. There is a clearing to the southeast, and the sounds of several languages not indigenous to the precincts of Leth Deriel can be heard from that direction. A few carts and wagons, an overburdened camel, and a very annoyed-looking Elothean trader loiter here, as though waiting to pass southeast but unable to proceed for some reason.
  2010. Obvious paths: southeast, northwest.

  2019. [go2]>northeast
  2020.  
  2021. Mysterious voices echo in the shadowy glades along the sides of the road here. Filmy forms seem to glide among the towering trees, hinting at a magical and miraculous world beckoning you to stray from the safe, mundane limits of the trade route.
  2022. Obvious paths: northeast, southeast.
  2023.  
  2024. Room Number: 1950
  2025.  
  2026. You run northeast.
  2027. [Southern Trade Route, Zurinda's Bale]
  2028. The air is stuffy, humid and oppressive here, as though the leaves have conspired to make a verdant canopy to contain the heat spawned by the forest's decay and regeneration. The low humming in your ears grows louder, a chorus of katydids beating their wings in an unrelenting, blood-quickening rhythm. You feel oddly drowsy, or perhaps you are about to swoon from the unnatural warmth.
  2029. Obvious paths: north, southwest.

  2037.  
  2038. [go2]>northwest
  2039.  
  2040. The broad, stiff-veined leaves of the remeka trees here shut out the sky and the stirring of the forest breezes. The remekas absorb great quantities of water through their roots and release it in the form of droplets that collect on the underside of the leaves, dripping to the forest floor like a localized rain shower. This shower is too tepid to be refreshing, but a good source of drinking water so far from rivers or wells.
  2041. Obvious paths: northeast, south.

  2043. Room Number: 1949
  2044.  
  2045. You run northeast.
  2046. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2047. Diminutive hoof prints from some cloven-footed animal pepper the road here. The underbrush on both sides has been trampled down repeatedly, and there is a noticeable track worn into the hard-packed roadbed at a right angle. You hear faint grunts and rustlings to the east and west, but the low thorn bushes rule out leaving the path to investigate. A dripping sound emanates from the southwest.
  2048. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

  2054.  
  2055. You run northeast.
  2056. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2057. Thick trees line the route here, with rope-like roots swelling the surface and bursting through in places. Most of them have been hacked back by the passing caravans and travelers. At the base of one of the greater trees, the jumble of roots encloses a murky hole, leading into a hollow. In such places are said to dwell Elven hermits and anchorites.
  2058. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

  2064. [go2]>north
  2065.  
  2066. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2067. The track through the choking forest is difficult to follow here. The path is extremely muddy and treacherous underfoot. At times the snaking detours into which the main route has jumbled become impossible to discern. A spider's web partially blocks the road, waiting to ensnare some unwary traveler.
  2068. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

  2073.  
  2074. You run northeast.
  2075. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2076. Along the north, the trees and shrubs are fairly homogeneous, much the same as other wild growth at the same latitude and altitude anywhere in this hemisphere of Elanthia. To the south, abruptly and preternaturally, all sorts of trees appear that ought not to be growing side by side or in each other's shade. A profusion of evergreens, hardwoods, fruit trees, flowering trees and shrubs, spread themselves out as far south as you can see.
  2077. Obvious paths: southwest, northwest.

  2083. You run northwest.
  2084. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2085. The ground here is hard and unyielding, packed to rock-like consistency by ceaseless caravans and the boots of stalwart adventurers. Faint cracks trace the surface like webs from a demented spider, prompting a slight detour for an orderly column of black ants. Southwest, an overgrown footpath leads off the main road towards a grove of sana'ati trees. You also see a flattened skunk in the middle of the road with some black ants on it.
  2086. Obvious paths: southeast, northwest.

  2093.  
  2094. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2095. Resplendent pine trees tower over a low-lying thicket laden with oralana. Nearby, a bushy-tailed squirrel scampers under the brush with a pine cone in its mouth, either not caring or in too much of a hurry to critique nature's contrast of lustrous yellow and dark green. You also see a pine tree shrouded in hundreds of faesoul blossoms strung upon shadowleaf netting.
  2096. Obvious paths: north, southeast.

  2102. You run north.
  2103. [Southern Trade Route, Hillock]
  2104. The gradual slope provides a limited view of the surrounding treetops, but not much else. Pointed conifers and other evergreens form the skyline in all directions save the east-northeast, where black-twisted trees plague the forlorn landscape. These must be the warped creations of a maddened mage, for such monstrosities could never grow naturally in Endrus Forest.
  2105. Obvious paths: north, south.

  2112.  
  2113. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2114. A deobar sapling, no taller than a Human child, stretches its slender limbs outward and embraces the daytime sky as if glimpsing it for the first time. Turning southwards, the road assumes a gentle incline that reaches its peak atop a barren hillock, which is spared the ravaging weeds that pervade the northeast passage.
  2115. Obvious paths: northeast, south.

  2125.  
  2126. Dead and dying wildflowers litter the roadside, overrun with voracious weeds that rob the soil of its precious nutrients. The less hardy flora withers away midst the dust of bright yellow blossoms, but the earth harbors their seeds, ensuring that life shall one day come full circle.
  2127. Obvious paths: north, southwest.

  2132. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2133. A wall of twisted raevelthorn thrives alongside the eastern edge of the road, providing a welcome barrier between you and the foreboding trees beyond. You also see a gap in the shrubbery.

  2142. [Endrus Forest, Crossroads]
  2143. A stand of lofty ironwood trees chokes the winding road which narrows to barely a wagon's width. Thick, bulbous roots snake over the earth, and gnarled branches twist overhead nearly blotting out the sky. Odd noises and beastly grunts drift from the malevolent shadows, lending truth to the bardic myths of a haunted forest along the trade route.
  2144. Obvious paths: southwest, northwest.

  2152. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2153. Shadows envelop the foliage to the southeast as if hiding an ancient and shameful secret. The deobars weep silent tears from mossy tendrils, and even a majestic sana'ati tree shies away from the heart of Endrus Forest.

  2162. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2163. The road weaves around a scorched deobar tree rooted in ash. Its blackened limbs reach skywards, defying the very forces that seared its fate, or perhaps they seek deliverance from the remnants of life once possessed. A skeletal branch points southwards, whether in welcome or warning you do not know, but the murky woods in that direction strongly suggest the latter.

  2171. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2172. Closely-knit vegetation shuts out most of the natural light. Between two gloomy trees arise overlapping shadows that seem to form human-like figures. Only a few paces off the road, the blackness is impenetrable, and home to all the dark horrors the mind can conjure. But, you repeat to yourself, mere shades cannot harm you.

  2180.  
  2181. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2182. The road passes through a defile of vedda trees here, their white inner pith exposed, stripped of all bark. In times of famine or scarcity, the nomads of this forest have been known to eat the bark in order to survive. Unfortunately, in addition to meager nutrition, it contains a powerful hallucinogen which tends to drive tribesmen into a frenzy directed primarily at interlopers into their forest domain.

  2190. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2191. The oldest tree along the route here is a curious specimen. A very young rowan tree is growing in a fork of its hoary branches. Such small trees are deposited as seeds by passing birds, and are called "flying trees." Their leaves, bark and wood are said to possess magical protective qualities.

  2201. [go2]>northeast
  2202.  
  2203. Fallen logs line both sides of the route here, snapped or hacked into pieces. Some huge trunks are only charred husks, hollow inside. Jagged tree stumps, the source of the fallen logs, are scattered to the east and west. The underbrush has grown up quickly and closed in around them, so you cannot see into the forest beyond. A single, bird-like whistle pierces the air.

  2208. You run north.
  2209. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2210. The forest is very dense here, restricting the flow of traffic to the center of the road as the foliage closes in. In this tunnel of the twisting wood, prodigious oaks extend their groping boughs and shine dimly with a phosphorescence of strange fungi. Empty sacks, stray scraps of leather, and bits of grain are trampled down into the mud, indicating some mishap occurred here. You also see a serpentine path leading deeper into the forest and a twisted black oak tree.

  2219. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2220. Traffic is forced to come and go in turns as the road narrows. The stench of habitation, almost sacrilege in this hallowed greenwood, assaults you from the northwest. The congestion and contagion of civilization grows more pronounced as you squeeze past greedy merchants, bloodthirsty mercenaries, power-obsessed mages and ragtag wanderers who ply this route.

  2228. [Southern Trade Route, Trenilar's Slavers' Haven]
  2229. This route was once a notorious artery for slave trade in Elanthia, bringing captives, conscripts and labor to and from the imperial Elven kingdoms. The filthy wayside eatery here was a rest stop for slave caravans, and has been run by ten generations of S'Kra proprietors. String cots under the trees provide minimal sleeping accommodations and split tree trunks form the outdoor dining room. Trenches dug along the opposite side of the road offer primitive sanitary facilities.

  2237. You run north.
  2238. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2239. Overhead in the foliage, you spot what appear to be gigantic birds' nests in the forks of the trees. Twigs, leafy limbs, dried sedges and grasses, are all piled up into massive arboreal beds. Some primal inhabitants of the deep forest, nomadic hunters and gatherers, must have slept here in the trees for safety. Recalling tales of their poison-tipped arrows, you hope they have long since moved on.

  2248. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2249. The road continues to the southwest and northeast, wide enough here to allow pack animals, carts, and small bands of travelers to pass in both directions at once. A view southwest reveals a narrowing of the way, while to the northeast, you see a small clearing and hear strange sounds and cries.
  2250. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

  2258.  
  2259. [go2]>go footpath
  2260.  
  2261. In the midst of the dense wood, off to the southwest, stands a grey hut supported by the bones of four great birds' feet. Here dwells the mad S'Kra soothsayer, Berdachun. The corners of the hut are carved in the shapes of a lion, a dragon, a cockatrice, and a viper. In front of the hut is a carved oaken basin filled with carcasses of birds and small mammals in various states of decay and disembowelment.

  2267. [Southern Trade Route, Tripp's Cairn]
  2268. A knot of travelers, pilgrims, traders and adventurers clusters around a pile of stones beneath an old oak on the east side of the path. The trunk of the oak has been riven in twain, perhaps by an ancient lightning strike. The stone cairn is surrounded by offerings of rare herbs, flowers, and clay cups filled with home-brewed ale and sap wine.

  2276. You run northeast.
  2277. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2278. The growth here is deciduous forest, with branches mingling high overhead. A leafy canopy traps the natural moisture given off by the soil and foliage, encouraging mosses, ferns, lichen and fungi to flourish. Deep ruts in the damp roadbed, caused by carts, hooves and boots, show that heavily-laden traffic passes through regularly. You also see a faint path leading off the road to the east.
  2279. Obvious paths: north, southwest.

  2282.  
  2283. You run north.
  2284. [Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
  2285. The grassy, weed-choked flood plain of the Segoltha River to the north transitions into the forest of Endrus. The fringe of the woods here, growing ever denser as you gaze southward, consists mainly of oak and beech, interlaced with whitethorn, tangled briars and low-growing shrubs. You also see a broad-limbed oak tree.
  2286. Obvious paths: north, south.

  2289.  
  2290. You run north.
  2291. [Southern Trade Route, Segoltha Plain]
  2292. The shouts of traders, caravan drivers, soldiers of fortune, scoundrels, thieves, bards, and less unsavory travelers echo across the flood plain along the road here as it narrows. Everyone must jostle each other to pass. Occasionally, a full-blown caravan or war party thunders by, which causes all the foot traffic to leap to the side of the road and turns the shouting to swearing.
  2293. Obvious paths: north, south.

  2296.  
  2297. You run north.
  2298. [Southern Trade Route, Segoltha Plain]
  2299. Sparse grass, weeds and a few hardy shrubs grow along this flat stretch of land that lies between the river bluffs and the nearby woodland. The angry floods sweep away most of the vegetation, and each time the waters subside, life must begin here anew. To the northeast lie the outskirts of Chelsea Overlook, a small community overlooking the south bank of the Segoltha. You also see a footpath that leads northwest.
  2300. Obvious paths: north, northeast, south.
  2301.  
  2302. Room Number: 1905
  2303.  
  2304. [Fisherman's Trail, Footpath]
  2305. The well-worn path winds its way erratically between and around the few hardy bushes and shrubs that cling to the perpetually muddy riverbank. Sparse vegetation interspersed with forgotten whiskey bottles and broken fishing poles lines the edges of the beaten track between the river to the west and the trail running southeast to the trade route.

  2311. [Fisherman's Trail, Footpath]
  2312. The path continues along a slight slope as it winds its way beside the river. Large rocks and mossy boulders make the way a bit more treacherous, and the shadows cast by the large trees to the south cause the area to stay quite moist. The blaring of a ferry's horn can be heard occasionally, far in the distance.

  2321. The tree-lined trail winds an erratic route along the riverbank, eternally muddy and smelling of fish. The bank drops off steeply into the river below, a deadly climb for anyone foolish enough to try.

  2331. [Fisherman's Trail, Footpath]
  2332. The vegetation grows thickly here, fertilized by the steady stream of birds and wildlife attracted to the nearby river. To the west, the riverbank subsides into a more gradual slope, easing entrance into the water for animals and fishermen alike. Here however, the man-made bank drops off treacherously, its slippery slope inviting the sounds of the river to permeate the area.

  2342. Muddy riverbank gives way to a grassy path, as a footpath slopes down to the shore. The call of shorebirds echoes through the area, mixed with the sounds of buzzing insects and scurrying rodents in the underbrush.

  2351. [Fisherman's Trail, Near the Wreck]
  2352. In the tiny cove, the bulk of a wrecked ship lies beached along the shore to the west. Lying on its side, it is an easy scramble up a pile of debris to the main deck. Near the shore, a small firepit, surrounded by stumps, is filled with half-burned wood and ashes. Snapped fishing lines and rusted hooks litter the ground, testifying to the normal usage of the cove. You also see a weathered shipwreck.

  2367. [Segoltha River, South Bank]
  2368. Sheltered by the ruined bulk of a stranded ship, the current here is gentle compared to the rushing cataract in the middle of the river. The protection of the hulk allows sand to accumulate, creating a small beach along the south shore. Debris from the wrecked ship litters the bank with boards and timbers weathered from the elements.

  2582.  
  2583. The trees in this area give way to a gently sloping riverbank. Tufts of grass bravely peek through the sand in thick brownish clumps, adding a bit of traction on the perpetually muddy slope. A slightly worn trail leads down the bank towards the murky river below.

  2589. [Tiger Clan, Grassy Trail]
  2590. Along a trail lined with willows, the smells of soggy grass, dead fish and peat moss permeate the atmosphere. The bubbling and splashing of the nearby river overpower the usual sounds of the wilderness, causing the shadowed areas of the trees and tall grasses to seem almost menacing in their silence. You also see a trail through the tall grass.

  2598. [Tiger Clan Home, Old Mill]
  2599. An old mill looks over the shoreline of the Segoltha River, its massive waterwheel splashing and churning the river's deep water. Tall grasses and willows grow abundantly around the mill grounds. Village women stand in groups collecting bundles of willow wands and grass. You also see a muddy path and a very faint trail through the grass.

  2610. Squeals and giggles come from a group of Gor'Tog children who are running around a small, blindfolded lad. The lad stumbles around, flailing his arms, trying to tag one of the others. A wooden bridge spans across a deep moat to the south, where a large manor house stands proudly overlooking the surrounding area. The village stocks are set off in the far corner of the green.

  2619. A colorful wagon is parked alongside the pathway, red and gold banners flapping in the breeze, the rippling cloth nearly drowning out a faint snoring coming from within.

  2629. Colorful flowers and bushes laden with berries grow in a wild, brilliant display around a stone cottage topped with a roof thatched with heather. A small grey donkey pokes its head out of the open doorway and gazes at you inquisitively. You also see a grimy little piglet that appears rather calm and a carved signpost.

  2639. A willow-framed building with a thatched broom roof faces the path. Strutting proudly across the front of the house is a family of geese. The youngest stops to peck at something on the ground, until he is nudged onward by his elders. A carved signpost stands at the pathway. You also see a white-tailed leopard.

  2648. The clang of a blacksmith's hammer comes from the doorway of a stone building fronted with a large shoeing yard. A Gor'Tog farmer works at shoeing an ox suspended in a leather sling. The uncomfortable ox rolls its eye to look at you and lets out a protesting bellow.

  2658. A river-rock wall extends east to west, protecting the northern end of a rambling village. The open village gate looks out across a vast stretch of the fields worked by the villagers. A dirt pathway winds southward through a collection of cottages, shops and huts standing at odd angles, most with a fence or ditch fronting the path. Farmers, returning from a day in the fields, find fellowship and food in the conveniently-located pub, The Pig's Pannage, its open doors just a short walk from the gate.

  2676. Rows of trellises support the twisting and twining stalks of pea and bean plants, their branches filled with plump hanging pods. Several aproned Gor'Tog women stoop over the vines pulling peas, laughing and gossiping with each other as they work. A thick rock wall angles from the west around to the south where you glimpse the sparkle from the waters of the Segoltha River.

  2714. A young mongrel dog barks excitedly at you as you pass by several men who are sowing seeds that they carry in small straw baskets hung around their necks. An enormous black crow descends from a nearby walnut tree, flapping its strong wings a few times before proceeding to raid an unattended seed bag. The dog bounds off toward it, giving a few warning barks, sending the crow screeching angrily back to its perch in the trees.

  2724. Short stocky trees laden with fruit and nuts have been planted in this small grove. A Gor'Tog man clad in a leather apron with a bulging pocket stands under one of the nut trees knocking against its branches with a long wooden stave.

  2736. A group of Gor'Tog farmers wielding mattocks and clodding beetles work at breaking up clumps of soil in a recently harrowed field. They pause in their task to stare at you as you pass by, not with any animosity, but also without any friendliness.

  2790. [Grassland Road, Meadow]
  2791. A covered merchant's wagon trundles eastward, toward the high walls of the Crossing which are barely visible above their surrounding treetops. The Gor'Tog merchant gives you a polite nod as he urges his horses on at an eager pace. Meadows stretch out from either side of the path as far as the eye can see.
  2792. Obvious paths: east, west.

  2800. [Grassland Road, Meadow]
  2801. An endless vista of meadows and grasslands stretches out to the west, traveled by this meandering dirt road compacted to a hard surface by years of trekking feet, hooves and wheels. A path leads to the bustling gate of the Crossing to the east.

  2809. [Mycthengelde, Flatlands]
  2810. Well-worn paths lead through a grove of trees to a gate in The Crossing's western wall. Now and again you hear birds calling to one another in the branches, or the bustling of a merchant's cart as it makes its way past. A handful of adventurers nod at you in greeting as they make their way into town. An aromatic mix of wildflowers mingles with wyndwood, oak and juniper trees as the grove stretches north and south, while to the west, you can see grassy flatlands through a small clearing. You also see a pile of rocks, a braided bundling rope, a braided bundling rope, a braided bundling rope, a braided bundling rope, a braided bundling rope, a braided bundling rope, a braided bundling rope, a braided bundling rope, a braided bundling rope, a braided bundling rope, a braided bundling rope, the western gate, a narrow trail, a town wall, a path that heads westward toward the grasslands and a wooden sign printed in large block letters.

  2818. [The Crossing, Western Gate]
  2819. Camels, oxen, and mules compete with Elves, Gor'Togs, and Humans to pass through the narrow gate which breaches the stone wall between town and the western reaches. The lowing of animals, and the bellowing of irate travelers become almost indistinguishable the more you listen. After a few minutes, so do the unmistakable odors of unwashed sojourners and domestic beasts of burden. It begins to dawn on you why folks are anxious to pass through customs, whatever the cost, as quickly as possible. You also see the Western Gate, the Guard House and some stone stairs leading to the top of the town wall.

  2827.  
  2828. [The Crossing, Goodwhate Pike]
  2829. Old woodframe buildings that appear to be vacant border the wide pike here. Heavy traffic has taken its toll, leaving deep ruts and almost demolishing the curb, so that the already decrepit mud-and-twig structures almost seem to spill out upon the road. You have no doubt that, during the height of the rainy season, they literally do. Directly west lies the Western Gate.

  2837. You run east.
  2838. [The Crossing, Goodwhate Pike]
  2839. A long, barn-like structure hunkers just by the road here, wedged between the cobbled way and the high outer walls of town that lie just north. A very high, very wide double door leads in and from it the lowing of oxen, the whinnying of steeds and the braying of obstinate pack animals can be heard. An exotic-looking trader in a silk robe forcibly leads a recalcitrant camel from the building, almost knocking a nearby attendant to the ground. You also see a huge mound of manure.
  2840. Obvious paths: east, south, west.

  2847. [The Crossing, Goodwhate Pike]
  2848. The gates to the west, the river and Oxenwaithe Bridge to the east, the town walls and dense forests and scrub just beyond to the north - all serve as a reminder of the dichotomy between the untamed forces of nature and the works of mortals that life in Elanthia constantly confronts its inhabitants with. Such cosmic musings are soon cut short, however, as a foul-smelling Dwarf barbarian shoves aside a few passersby rudely and lumbers past.
  2849. Obvious paths: east, south, west.

  2857. You run east.
  2858. [The Crossing, Oxenwaithe Bridge]
  2859. This bridge is wide and sturdy, its strong oaken planks weathered but in good repair. Across this span must stream all the traffic directly proceeding to or coming from the Northern and Western Tiers. Oxcarts laden with imports and exports rumble past.
  2860. Obvious paths: east, south, west.

  2867. You run east.
  2868. [The Crossing, Clanthew Boulevard]
  2869. The meandering course of the River Oxenwaithe lies dead ahead. Wooden carts, powered by all manner of two- and four-legged beasts, rumble past, headed west towards the broad, well-worn planks of the Oxenwaithe Bridge and east into the heart of the Crossing. Groups of armed adventurers, mystics, merchants and rogues weave in and out of the wheeled and hoofed mobs. You also see a grizzled old war veteran.
  2870. Obvious paths: east.

  2877. [The Crossing, Clanthew Boulevard]
  2878. From the west comes the sound of currents rushing through a narrow river bend, while in the distance, just barely evident to the northwest, is a corner of the outer town wall, over which the calls of birds can be heard. Mingled among the sublime sounds of nature, are the equally sweet sounds reaching your ears from a small, unpretentious building set unobtrusively off to the south side of the road. You also see a small building.
  2879. Obvious paths: east, south, west.

  2886. [The Crossing, Clanthew Boulevard]
  2887. A side entrance to the Academy, in the form of a low, bronze gate, stands here. Students and faculty come and go through it, since it provides convenient access to the inns and eateries clustered to the north and east of Elanthia's most renowned seat of learning and research. Several blocks to the east looms the dome of the Champions' Arena, which also houses the Barbarians' Guild and farther north, both within and without the sheltering walls of town, lie various other Guilds.

  2895. [The Crossing, Truffenyi Place]
  2896. Truffenyi Place runs straight along the north-south axis of the Crossing and leads to the Guilds and Academy, vital institutions of town life. A quiet but constant buzz of citizens and adventurers engaged in missions, commerce, debate and worship fills the street. More pronounced are the peals of amiable laughter and snippets of modest songs that come from Taelbert's Inn, perched proudly on the west curb. You also see a squat stone stable with a scarred oak door.

  2905. [The Crossing, Covered Alleyway]
  2906. This alleyway runs between Gildleaf Circle and Truffenyi Place. It is covered with a makeshift tin canopy supported by iron nails in the closely-spaced buildings. Although narrow and unpaved, it is free of debris and appears to be frequented for deliveries and shortcuts. An archway on one side leads between the buildings. You also see the Baker's side door and the Grocer's service entrance.

  2914.  
  2915. [The Crossing, Gildleaf Circle]
  2916. Mouthwatering aromas, gentle laughter and refined conversation emanating from the quaint twin cottages here make this corner of the Crossing a popular destination. The famed shop of the town's leading purveyor of fine victuals, Barsabe the Halfling, snuggles next to the bakery of Saranna, his wife of many years. Rotund boys scurry between both shops and dart out with baskets and trays laden with fresh delicacies. A narrow alley runs between the two shops and leads west.

  2925. [The Crossing, Gildleaf Circle]
  2926. Well-heeled folk stroll past on their way south for a bite to eat or to errands in the heart of the Crossing. Draped in rich fur cloaks, velvets and brocades, sporting rings and brooches of rare gems and precious metals, these prosperous burghers seem a far cry from the veteran, hardened adventurers encountered elsewhere within the city limits. They are even more remote from the shanty dwellers of the Middens, who subsist on the outskirts of society.

  2935. [The Crossing, Eylhaar Bane Road]
  2936. Eylhaar Bane Road curves sharply here to become the expansive arc of Gildleaf Circle, a broad, clean road with gravel shoulders and terrazzo sidewalks. The footpaths are lined with cultivated beds of azaleas and marigolds between rows of ornamental dwarf fruit trees and dazzling gildleaf shrubs. Ornate gingerbread cottages and elegant townhouses with wrought-iron balconies and grillwork are set back from the curb, behind sturdy gates or thickets of topiary. You also see a tall stone building and the Almhara Arch.

  2943. You run west.
  2944. [North Gate, Gate]
  2945. Nearly forgotten and in disrepair, the North Gate sits untended among a cluster of weeds. Thorny vines grow unheeded against its crumbling archway, and the decorative carvings along the sides of the arch have long since eroded to impressionistic ridges and gashes. Deep ruts slicing through the road's surface waylay unwary travelers even in the daylight.

  2951. [go2]>northeast
  2952.  
  2953. [North Turnpike, Forest]
  2954. Plunging into the woods, the road deteriorates still further into a track of loose stones and cobbles. Brambles, spike bushes, and poison fern line the edges of the turnpike, forming an impassable barrier to anyone who wished to explore the depths of the forest. You also see a crumbling archway.
  2955. Obvious paths: north.

  2962.  
  2963. [North Turnpike, Forest]
  2964. Dirt gradually replaces the remaining pavement stones to form a rutted earthen track. The sweet smell of rotting leaves and pine needles wafts from the surrounding woods. The road breaks through the forest, bending to the northeast towards open meadow and farmland.
  2965. Obvious paths: northeast, south.

  2975. [go2]>east
  2976.  
  2977. Clumps of tiny wild flowers hug the dirt road as it winds through the meadow. Towards the northwest, rippling hills cloaked with greenish-brown fields and a large monastery are visible in the distance.
  2978. Obvious paths: north, northeast, southeast, southwest, west.

  2980. Room Number: 1619
  2981.  
  2982. You run northeast.
  2983. [Northwall Trail, Grassland]
  2984. A narrow trail, either cut or worn through grasses waist-high on a stout elf, winds northeast from the turnpike that rumbles with traffic. The calls of caravan drivers hurrying their animals along can be heard from the road, while the quietude of the flatlands offers no such command but the whispering of the wind through the grass.
  2985. Obvious paths: east, southwest.

  2992. [Northwall Trail, Grassland]
  2993. As you move through the green-gold waves of tall grass, barley and dogbane, small burrs catch on your clothing like the hands of a child vying for attention. The gilded spires and slate roofs of the town rise over the grey stone wall to the south.
  2994. Obvious paths: northeast, west.

  3001.  
  3002. [Northwall Trail, Grassland]
  3003. The relentless winds bend the tall grasses in submission to the wide sky. Birds of prey soar effortlessly far above and cry out as they pass, some landing in a copse of birch trees to the northeast.
  3004. Obvious paths: southwest.
  3005.

  3007.  
  3008. Room Number: 1626
  3009.  
  3010. [Northwall Trail, Birch Copse]
  3011. The small copse of birch trees provides a welcome oasis of shade in the open grassland. The trees stand thin and tall, their pale trunks catching the sunlight and glowing softly in the shade of their rustling canopy. Oddly set amidst the birches is a curiously bent black willow tree.
  3012. Obvious paths: southeast, southwest.

  3019. [Northwall Trail, Grassland]
  3020. To the northwest, a copse of birch trees stand thin and stark against the sky, the swift breezes animating their skeletal forms in a gentle dance. You also see a vast crater.

  3029. [Northwall Trail, Grassland]
  3030. Swift breezes ruffle the tall grasses beneath the wind-scoured sky that stretches far above like a pale awning. Sprays of orange and purple wildflowers attract the attention of a few butterflies, who flutter across the trail.
  3031. Obvious paths: east, west.
  3032.

  3037.  
  3038. You run east.
  3039. [Northwall Trail, Edge of the Forest]
  3040. Thin pine saplings, field laurel and shrub grass form a narrow border on the edge of the forest. The darkness of the close-set trees to the northwest rustles with unseen movement, while the open grasslands stretching out to the west breathe quietly the open air.
  3041. Obvious paths: northeast, west.

  3047.  
  3048. You run northeast.
  3049. [Northwall Trail, Open Forest]
  3050. Longleaf pine and spruce outnumbering the hardwoods in the area drip a sticky sap that sugars the underbrush, and litter the trail with needles that crunch underfoot. Spanning the branches of a stunted sourwood tree, an orbweaver's web twitches slightly with the struggles of a small fly.
  3051. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

  3057. [go2]>northeast
  3058.  
  3059. [Northwall Trail, Open Forest]
  3060. Growing in the shade of towering oak and fir trees, azalea bushes add bright splashes of color to the brown-green gloom of the forest. Tangles of ivy creep alongside the trail and cloak the trees in jade filigree. You also see some braided grass.
  3061. Obvious paths: east, southwest.

  3068. [Northern Trade Road, Open Forest]
  3069. Trees to both sides of the road thin out southward where the land changes to open grassland. Large grey squirrels leap across the road overhead from branch to branch and chitter down at you as they regard you with curious eyes.
  3070. Obvious paths: southeast, west, northwest.

  3079.  
  3080. [go2]>north
  3081.  
  3082. Trees grow tall here, but they are scattered enough to allow sunlight and a good view of the sky. Northwards, the land rises into low hills that disappear against the black sky of the night. To the south, a gentle plain opens outward. A soft breeze rustles the leaves in the boughs overhead in a pleasant susurration.
  3083. Obvious paths: north, southeast.
  3084.  
  3085. Room Number: 1008
  3086.  
  3087. You run north.
  3088. [Northern Trade Road, Open Woods]
  3089. Widely scattered trees stand aloof, like strangers at a party, barely noticing one another's presence. Northwards, the open land nearby changes into a few low, rolling hills. Like a bare head rising above thinning hair, the hills stand out from a fringe of trees about their base.
  3090. Obvious paths: north, south.

  3096.  
  3097. You run north.
  3098. [Northern Trade Road, Rolling Hills]
  3099. The road winds among low, rounded hills barely deserving of the name. Clumps of trees around the base of the hills thin out rapidly as bare rock rises out of the good earth. The ragged summits are worn and weathered with age.
  3100.  
  3101. [go2]>northwest

  3106.  
  3107. You run northeast.
  3108. [Northern Trade Road, Rolling Hills]
  3109. The road crests the highest of the low hills, wandering among the cracked and worn rocks scattered across it. Removed from the road and set gently upon a hill, like a princess on her ivory pedestal, stands a rough circle of tall stones arranged in two concentric rings. Rising unsteadily from the crown of the hill, many of the stones lean against one another or are completely toppled. Perhaps a place of worship in ancient times, not even legend recalls who came here or what gods they served.
  3110. Obvious paths: southwest, northwest.

  3116.  
  3117. You run northwest.
  3118. [Northern Trade Road, Rolling Hills]
  3119. Winding north and south over the brow of a low hill, the road is partly blocked by several roughly shaped stones that appear to have tumbled down from the hill crest above. Small curls of a deep green vine have begun to wind the fallen stones into their embrace, and the tiny white flowers scattered among the leaves brighten the dull blue-grey of the stone.
  3120. Obvious paths: north, southeast.

  3126. [go2]>north
  3127.  
  3128. [Northern Trade Road, Rolling Hills]
  3129. A series of low hills, barely worthy of note, rise to the south while northwards, wide open grasslands run unhindered into the distance. Far off to the north, at the edge of the horizon, the faint shape of distant mountains can just be made out.
  3130. Obvious paths: north, south.

  3135.  
  3136. You run north.
  3137. [Northern Trade Road, Rolling Hills]
  3138. Low hills to the south rise up from marshy land to the north. Clouds of insects and tiny birds feeding upon them dart here and there. The whine of millions of quivering wings combines with the thin rustle of the darting birds to form an annoying, discordant noise. You also see a roadsign and a small, white-washed sign staked along side the road.
  3139. Obvious paths: east, south, northwest.

  3146.  
  3147. [Northern Trade Road, Marshy Meadows]
  3148. The ground underfoot squishes with each movement, and moisture oozes into the traces left. Low rocks set in ragged rows appear to mark a path along the swampy ground. Gnats and midges clog your nostrils and fly into your eyes and ears in an endless cloud. The air is thick with rotting vegetable matter and less identifiable odors.
  3149. Obvious paths: southeast, northwest.

  3155. You run northwest.
  3156. [Northern Trade Road, Marshy Meadows]
  3157. You travel in the midst of a boggy meadow. The air is thick with a chill mist that blurs the outlines of anything not close by. Pale rocks set along the path show the safest way to go among the almost trackless wastes.
  3158. Obvious paths: north, southeast.

  3164.  
  3165. You run north.
  3166. [Northern Trade Road, Marshy Meadows]
  3167. The ground beneath you is boggy and soft. Swarms of flies close about you, and some land to drill into your flesh for a morsel of blood and to leave a stinging welt as a souvenir of your visit to their lands. Northwards, the ground rises from the bog into open lands, while southward a mist obscures the view.
  3168. Obvious paths: north, south.

  3175. You run north.
  3176. [Northern Trade Road, Open Grasslands]
  3177. Southward, the road dips into a boggy lowland, while to the north, open grasslands stretch. No sign of habitation breaks the rippling waves of grass that grow shoulder-high to a tall Elf. The air is alternately fresh with the smell of growing things and thick with the stench of the bog, as the wind veers aimlessly across the open land.
  3178. Obvious paths: north, south.

  3183.  
  3184. You run north.
  3185. [Northern Trade Road, Open Grasslands]
  3186. Thick grass grows up to the edge of the road. Despite the isolation and empty land, the road itself is in surprisingly good shape. Large paving stones rest on a level bed, each one tightly fitted to its neighbor so that nary a weed or seedling can force a way between them. Perhaps some vanished town lay near here that knew the value of good roads.
  3187.

  3193.  
  3194. You run northeast.
  3195. [Northern Trade Road, Open Grasslands]
  3196. The road runs straight as an arrow through the endless sea of tall grasses. An occasional ripple among the stalks moving counter the wind shows there is life hidden beneath the green and gold surface. The desperate flight of a covey of birds, as they break cover and scatter, shows that peace here is a shallow illusion. For always the hunter awaits the careless and the weak.
  3197. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

  3203. You run northeast.
  3204. [Northern Trade Road, Open Grasslands]
  3205. A ruined building sits alongside the tidy stone road. The remains perhaps of an ancient tollhouse or inn, it lies at the edge of a forest that rises up from a wide swathe of grassland.
  3206. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.
  3207.

  3213.  
  3214. [Northern Trade Road, Forest]
  3215. The trees grow about you in abundance, their tops brushing the sky, their leaves shimmering with the breeze. The chirping of birds flows on the wind and there seems to be an almost sentient life to the wood, as if someone or something smiles beneficently on all the denizens and events that occur within the forest's boundaries.
  3216. Obvious paths: east, southwest.

  3224.  
  3225. [go2]>north
  3226.  
  3227. Low-lying taffelberry bushes grow about the tall deobar trees of the forest. The scent of loam hangs thick and sweet in an almost tangible cloud. The floor is carpeted with fallen leaves in the process of returning to the elements from whence they came, and some of the trees show evidence of having had their branches chopped off.
  3228. Obvious paths: east, west.

  3230. Room Number: 1025
  3231.  
  3232. You run east.
  3233. [Northern Trade Road, Deep Forest]
  3234. The trees cluster close, weaving a dark green canopy through which light slants cautiously, making tiny pools that flaunt dancing motes of dust. The air is heavy and still, thick with silence without even a birdsong to break the enclosing stillness.
  3235. Obvious paths: east, west.

  3241.  
  3242. You run east.
  3243. [Northern Trade Road, Deep Forest]
  3244. This is the heart of the wood, where the trees are the thickest and the outside world of skies and unforested land is the farthest away. The trees grow close to each other, their leaves whispering back and forth, their crowns bowed in quiet conversation. The silence is broken only by the sounds of a squirrel or similar creature's movements and the rush of a river coming from somewhere in the distance.
  3245. Obvious paths: north, west.

  3253. [Northern Trade Road, Deep Forest]
  3254. Deobar trees tower over you, their leaves rustling in time with the sounds of the river to the north. Quiet and serene, this part of the forest has a rich scent to it, the overlapping canopy making pools of gloom that collect beneath the trees.
  3255. Obvious paths: north, south.

  3263.  
  3264. [go2]>go gate
  3265.  
  3266. The forest to the south is thick and dark, a stark comparison to the open meadow around you. Short, springy grass grows in soft mounds over hillocks and hollows. Tiny white wildflowers peek out amongst the greenery, their petals open to accept the sunlight.
  3267. Obvious paths: north, south.

  3269. Room Number: 1029
  3270.  
  3271. You run north.
  3272. [Northern Trade Road, Meadowlands]
  3273. The land here is open and welcome, the grass thinning on the western horizon as it makes way for a farmstead. Nearby you can hear the babble of a river, and the vegetation shows signs that something, probably cattle, has been here recently to grab a quick snack. The air is clean and sweet, inviting you to take deeper breaths.

  3280. You run north.
  3281. [Northern Trade Road, Farmstead]
  3282. Vast, empty fields lie fallow about you. The remains of an abandoned farmhouse dominates your view to the northeast, its doorways gaping, its windows wide open like empty eye sockets. Nearby, a plow lies rusting, its blade sunk a good two feet into dirt whose only future crop will be grass. To the south the land is gradually returning to the meadow it originally was, the edge of creeping green vivid against the bare brown of exposed earth.
  3283. Obvious paths: north, south.

  3291. [Northern Trade Road, Open Grasslands]
  3292. The darker colors of the serrated wirgars grasses that grow in this particular part of the plains stand out against their lighter cousins. You catch the scent of sirese on the wind, the fragrance of the tiny wildflower wrapping around you. To the south the land turns a rough brown, shifting abruptly from plains to farming land.
  3293. Obvious paths: north, south.

  3301. [Northern Trade Road, Open Grasslands]
  3302. Blue sky and sweet winds mingle with vibrant greens and yellows to create a place that seems blessed by Hodierna herself. Restless clouds chase each other through the sky, and the blithely cheerful songs of birds create a natural, if chaotic, symphony to be enjoyed by all.
  3303. Obvious paths: northeast, south.

  3310. [Northern Trade Road, Kaerna Village Outskirts]
  3311. The grasslands shimmer slightly, the gentle hand of the wind running its fingers through the plant life. Here and there colorful wildflowers dare to peep their heads up through the endless browns and greens of the plains. Dominating the gentle sighing of the grass can be heard the bustling sounds of the tiny village of Kaerna, surrounded by a wooden town wall which masks the village's graceless sprawl against the northern horizon. You also see an abandoned militia shack, a weather-beaten sign and a town gate.
  3312. Obvious paths: southwest.

  3317.  
  3318. [Kaerna Village, By the Well]
  3319. The Northern Trade road runs like an arrow through the small town of Kaerna. Composed mostly of ramshackle daub and wattle houses, the most distinguishing feature of Kaerna is its inn, which looms protectively over the other, smaller establishments. Less a town and more a waystation than anything else, the tiny wooden-walled village hugs the road with a tenacious determination. You also see a town gate and the town well off to the side.

  3327.  
  3328. [Kaerna Village, Intersection]
  3329. The main activity of the town seems to be concentrated here where traders, villagers, and travellers from afar gather to exchange information or engage in a bit of bartering. Presiding over all of this is the Gilded Unicorn Inn, the largest building in the village as well as the best kept. Far from the bustle and turmoil of the big city, its doors are always open, a lantern or candle always lit. You also see a roadsign.
  3330. Obvious paths: northeast, south, west.

  3339.  
  3340. [go2]>east
  3341.  
  3342. A few residences huddle here, alternately shouldered up against the back of the Gilded Unicorn Inn and the sides of the general store. The store is squat but neat, its exterior newly whitewashed and a small garden carefully cultivated outside it. You also see the town gate.
  3343. Obvious paths: southwest.
  3344.  
  3345. Room Number: 1139
  3346.  
  3347. [Northern Trade Road, Kaerna Outskirts]
  3348. The wooden wall surrounding the tiny waystop of Kaerna is a visible line drawn between the plains and hamlet. Thick grasses and shrubs growing against the protective barrier seem intent upon reclaiming the village's side-by-side buildings for the prairie. Off to one side stands an abandoned militia shack, a silent casualty to the ongoing war between civilization and nature. You also see a weathered wooden sign and the town gate.
  3349. Also here: Ophinicus.

  3357. [Northern Trade Road, Open Grasslands]
  3358. The wind rushes through the grass, making a soft shirring sound. Occasionally you catch the crackle of movement or the twitterings of birds, but any sounds of civilization generated by something other than yourself seem like the sort of thing you would think up in a dream.

  3366. You run northwest.
  3367. [Northern Trade Road, Open Grasslands]
  3368. Miles upon miles of uncivilized land lie before you, devoid of any sign of humanity. A shifting sea of brown, green, and tan grasses rises about you, rustling with the movement of the occasional bird or butterfly that dares to plunge down into the vegetation. A line of dark mountains rises to the north, shadowed and gloomy, they climb abruptly from the grasslands.
  3369. Obvious paths: north, southeast.

  3376. [Northern Trade Road, Foothills]
  3377. The road rises along the curve of a low hill that slopes down to the south into open grasslands. The rocky crest of the hill rises sharply above you as you toil along the well-kept roadway. Local stones from the hillside have been smoothed and shaped to form the roadbed and the footing is good. Northwards though, the hills shift quickly into steep mountains.
  3378. Obvious paths: east, south.

  3385. [Northern Trade Road, Foothills]
  3386. You crest a low hill that gives a far-reaching view. To the north a line of mountains rises steeply from the surrounding hills, while southward the hills fade out to forest and plain. Far to the south, a heavy haze obscures the view, but you glimpse the occasional flash of open water. You also see a wrecked barricade.
  3387. Obvious paths: east, west.

  3394.  
  3395. [Northern Trade Road, Foothills]
  3396. You travel through a small dell that rises northwards into a narrow pass. You follow the path with your eyes until it fades from view among the steeply rising mountains. Southward a low hill rises, bearing the roadway along its shoulders. A Trader's Guild outpost sits alongside the stony trail. You also see a wrecked barricade, The Guild Stables, a stony trail, a stone marker and a weathered roadsign.
  3397. Obvious paths: north, west.

  3405.  
  3406. [go2]>ne
  3407.  
  3408. The roadway is made from cracked stone that seems to have fallen from the steep rocky shoulders of a mountain whose flank forms a boundary along your path. Rising steeply to the north and falling away to low hills to the south, the road cuts a narrow path among the mountains.
  3409. Obvious paths: north, south.

  3411. Room Number: 1170
  3412.  
  3413. You run north.
  3414. [Northern Trade Road, Mountain Trail]
  3415. You edge along a steep drop as the road narrows sharply in order to work its way along a narrow ridge of rock. Snow-capped peaks tower overhead and an occasional eagle or hawk can be seen soaring on the high-road of the sky far overhead. You envy them their direct routes as you gaze over the lip of the road and note the crumbling stone along its rim.
  3416. Obvious paths: northeast, south.

  3422. You run northeast.
  3423. [Northern Trade Road, Mountain Pass]
  3424. The road passes onto an almost level area as you work your way through a narrow gap in the mountains. Huge boulders that have tumbled loose from the escarpments above you cause you to keep a wary eye out for more such unwelcome fellow-travellers. A tiny roadside shrine has been erected here, perhaps by someone who made a lucky escape from such an avalanche of stone.
  3425. Obvious paths: north, southwest.

  3432.  
  3433. [Northern Trade Road, Mountain Trail]
  3434. A huge boulder blocks much of the road, but room remains to squeeze by between it and the mountain wall. One broken and shattered bone shows you that someone or something was far less fortunate in times past. You look nervously up at the rock-strewn slopes above you and mutter a short prayer that the boulders rest easily these days.
  3435. Obvious paths: east, south.

  3441. You run east.
  3442. [Northern Trade Road, Mountain Trail]
  3443. The road rises sharply to the west as it wends among the steep mountains. Eastward, it falls away into a narrow, heavily-wooded valley. Evidence of frequent landslides shows in the piles of rock and small boulders that make passage here uneven and slightly risky.
  3444. Obvious paths: east, west.

  3452. [Northern Trade Road, Wooded Valley]
  3453. Thick woods grow heavily along the shoulders of the roadway, blocking both sky and sight after a short distance. Several sets of wolf tracks are evident in the heavy leaf mould under some of the trees. Troublesome travelers' tales describing the forest's dangers come to mind as the journey continues through the close-set trees.
  3454. Obvious paths: northeast, west.

  3462.  
  3463. [go2]>north
  3464.  
  3465. You come upon a small clearing in the heavy woods that allows a view of the sky. A faint path can be made out that wanders into the trees, but it fades off before you can wonder about where it might lead. There is an unnerving quiet here, even the wind seems to have died. You feel a stranger in this wild place, perhaps an unwelcome stranger. You also see a faded roadsign.
  3466. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.
  3467.  
  3468. Room Number: 1176
  3469.  
  3470. You run northeast.
  3471. [Northern Trade Road, Wooded Valley]
  3472. Tall trees grow close along both sides of the road. Small animals skitter among the branches overhead and dart among low-growing shrubs that eke out an existence in the deep shade of the forest. Something taller than you has clawed the bark off a tree trunk several feet overhead and you wonder just where the beast that wore such claws is currently.
  3473. Obvious paths: southwest, northwest.

  3480. [Northern Trade Road, Foothills]
  3481. Tall trees grow thickly to the south as the road climbs into a narrow valley. Northwards, the land opens out into rolling hills that fade off into the looming shadow of several sharp mountain peaks, each distinct from the other.
  3482. Obvious paths: north, southeast.

  3491. [go2]>go bridge
  3492.  
  3493. Heavily wooded hills rise on both sides as the roadway winds among them. The air is dead and stale, any breeze is blocked by the trees and hills. Clouds of gnats and worse seem to follow you, getting in your mouth and hair. There is a faint smell of damp earth and rotting vegetation.
  3494. Obvious paths: north, south.
  3495.  
  3496. Room Number: 1179
  3497.  
  3498. You run north.
  3499. [Northern Trade Road, Rolling Hills]
  3500. Massive flocks of small black birds wheel and dive among the low hills on either side. They seem to be feeding on the dense swarms of midges and other insects that lurk in the heavy air. A miasma of musty smells and unknown odors roils in your nostrils. The ground to the north descends into a faint mist or cloud in the air.
  3501. Obvious paths: north, south.

  3507. You run north.
  3508. [Northern Trade Road, Grasslands]
  3509. A cloud of flint-dry dust rises on every breeze, making you sneeze. For the most part, you see the grasslands about you in a state of decay and near death. Mountains rising sharply in the south form a counterpoint to others, sharper yet, that loom northwards. Saw-edged peaks and broken crowns indicate their origins as volcanoes in the not-so-distant past. You also see a charred tree stump.
  3510. Obvious paths: north, south.

  3517.  
  3518. [Northern Trade Road, Open Grasslands]
  3519. Eroded wagon ruts cause you to notice that this road was once travelled with a greater frequency than it is now. While safe from becoming overgrown by the dying grasses of the plains, this part of the trail is crumbling from disuse and the encroaching dust.
  3520.

  3528. [Northern Trade Road, Open Grasslands]
  3529. The winds veer around you, catching the grasses and your clothing in their grip and tugging like beggars vying for attention. Flowers nod in the breeze like dancers moving to an unheard rhythm, their brightly colored heads catching your eye. You can hear the sound of rushing water coming from the north.
  3530. Obvious paths: north, south.

  3538.  
  3539. [go2]>nw
  3540.  
  3541. A narrow river rushes past you on its way southwest, its turbulent grey waters creating a deafening roar. To the north the land changes dramatically from plains to the darker, more verdant green of meadows. To the south stretches a narrow strip of grassland. A sturdy wood and stone bridge spans the river, allowing safe passage. You also see a roadsign.
  3542. Obvious paths: east, south.
  3543.  
  3544. Room Number: 1184
  3545.  
  3546. [Northern Trade Road, On the Bridge]
  3547. The deafening roar of the Journalai River below you drowns out all other sound as you make your way across the bridge. Droplets of water hit your face, and every now and then the flash of silver scales in the water catches your eye.
  3548. Obvious paths: north, south.

  3554. You run north.
  3555. [Northern Trade Road, Meadowlands]
  3556. The grass is a thick, dark green carpet that spreads over the land in rolling abundance. A few holes, large enough to admit a small animal, mar the landscape, creating openings that lead down into the dark home of burrowing creatures. A river runs to the south, over which spans a sturdy wood and stone bridge.
  3557. Obvious paths: north.

  3563. You run north.
  3564. [Northern Trade Road, Meadowlands]
  3565. The tips and edges of the grass are slightly yellowed, and you get the vague feeling that there should be more flowers here. To the south the meadows gradually shift into the lush emerald they should be, and to the north you see the beginning of a treeline.
  3566. Obvious paths: northeast, south.

  3573. You run northeast.
  3574. [Northern Trade Road, Open Forest]
  3575. The land has suffered from something malignant judging by the yellowish tinge to the grass and leaves of the trees. Even the resilient deobar are having trouble in these conditions, and most of the trees are stunted, a sickly hue creeping through their bark. The only thing that appears to be thriving is a grey-green woodmoss that covers the trees in abundance.
  3576. Obvious paths: north, southwest.

  3583. [Northern Trade Road, Deep Forest]
  3584. Chalky green woodmoss drapes from the trees of the forest, falling in tiers that bring to mind waterfalls or a crone's hair. There is a disturbing lack of birds and animals about.
  3585. Obvious paths: south, northwest.

  3592. You run northwest.
  3593. [Northern Trade Road, Deep Forest]
  3594. The trees grow close together, as if in fear of something. The trail is free of debris and a tree, fallen across the road, has been carved through that the trail might continue despite the obstruction. You also see a narrow trail.
  3595. Obvious paths: southeast, northwest.

  3602.  
  3603. [Northern Trade Road, Forest Clearing]
  3604. Jagged-edged grass grows thick about you, brushing and clinging to clothing and skin. A fire ring has been built by the side of the road, evidence that someone felt the flat ground and relative safety of this area would make it the perfect place to stop and rest.
  3605. Obvious paths: north, southeast.

  3612. [Northern Trade Road, Forest Clearing]
  3613. The grass is flourishing here despite the apparent blight of the rest of the wood. Facing east beside the road is a squat stone monolith with an indentation in its top. Some carvings adorn its polished gray surface, and an odd rust-colored residue stains it.
  3614. Obvious paths: north, south.

  3621. [Northern Trade Road, Deep Forest]
  3622. The trees rise about you like looming tombstones in a graveyard, each one draped in shawls of sickly gray lichen. The air is thick with a pressing sense of gloom, and you get the distinct impression that you are being watched. You also see a dense copse.
  3623. Obvious paths: northeast, south.

  3629. You run northeast.
  3630. [Northern Trade Road, Deep Forest]
  3631. Heavy, still air hangs in pockets about you, weighing down sound and movement. Silent in their misery, the trees hunch over each other, their boughs and trunks hidden by clinging moss. They pull the sickly-colored stuff about them the way a Human child hides under a security blanket. You also see a forest path.
  3632. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

  3639. [Northern Trade Road, Open Forest]
  3640. Moss dangles down from stunted, ill-looking trees, lending the impression that they are weeping. The grass is dry and brittle beneath your feet, and the forest is still and silent, as if in mourning.
  3641. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

  3648.  
  3649. [Northern Trade Road, Stony Plains]
  3650. Cracked boulders, gravel, and bare earth stretch about you, endlessly gray and grim. Here and there brittle grasses struggle vainly to peek up, only to be choked by the uncaring stone. To the south a dark forest blots the horizon.
  3651.  
  3652. [go2]>north

  3657.  
  3658. You run north.
  3659. [Northern Trade Road, Stony Plains]
  3660. The ground is hard and unyielding underfoot. The massive cracked boulders of this bare land challenge the sky as they thrust upward toward heaven. A wind sweeps by every now and then, but all it does is stir up a few dustdevils whose only purpose is to remind you of how thirsty you are.
  3661. Obvious paths: north, south.

  3668. [Northern Trade Road, Stony Plains]
  3669. An odd sight awaits you here: a single sirese flower, out of place and struggling to live, growing within the shade of a twisted wiir tree. The tiny plant seems to be surviving on raw defiance alone.
  3670. Obvious paths: northeast, south.

  3677. [Northern Trade Road, Wastelands]
  3678. The land lies blasted, the earth revealed in forlorn despair about you. Silence walks through here freely, accompanied in its journey only by the occasional click of a stone moving.

  3685. You run northwest.
  3686. [Northern Trade Road, Wastelands]
  3687. Something has scoured this place of all life, or a harsh god created it with no life at all. The rocks are oddly smooth and darker than normal agate and granite. Nothing moves, no birds, no insects, no weeds or wind. Having looked upon this land, you can easily imagine where evil souls go to when they depart this world.
  3688. Obvious paths: north, southeast.

  3695. [Northern Trade Road, Wastelands]
  3696. Blackened rocks and sandy soil that will never yield crops or flowers unfolds around you, encroaching like a spreading disease all the way to the horizon. Overhead the sky is thick with a heavy yellow haze that turns the daylight into a sickly parody of illumination.

  3704. [Northern Trade Road, Wastelands]
  3705. The lone call of a bird breaks the stillness, its cry sounding much like a helpless scream of rage and sadness. A fine layer of black dust coats everything that lingers too long here, and toward the north, the beginnings of a blackened forest emerge.
  3706. Obvious paths: north, south.

  3714. [Northern Trade Road, Burned Forest]
  3715. The scorched remains of trees stand all about you, their limbs clawing at the sky as if in complaint of the injustice done to them. A chill wind wraps around you and wails through the branches, sounding for all the world like the ghost of a sobbing child wandering, lost, through the dreary grove.

  3723. [Northern Trade Road, Burned Forest]

  3732. [Northern Trade Road, Cinder Cones]
  3733. To the left and right rise massive cinder cones, the creations of the wind-born fires of Dirge. Clouds of ash stir with every step you take, and you realize that much of what you mistook for hillocks are actually trees and stones so covered with the choking ash that they are nearly unrecognizable.
  3734. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

  3742. [Northern Trade Road, Cinder Cones]
  3743. The shadows of the cinder cones fall down around you, their massive forms blocking the light at any time of the day. A fine layer of ash drifts down about you, tickling your nose with its unusually acrid scent.
  3744. Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

  3751. [Northern Trade Road, Broken Hills]
  3752. The hills to either side are made of the broken remains of rock and debris. You think you hear the skittering of creatures moving amongst them, but when you look up all you see is a tattered leaf being pushed along by the wind. To the south the hills gradually turn into cones of ash and cinder, while to the north they continue on.
  3753. Obvious paths: north, southwest.

  3763.  
  3764. Cracked boulders, segments of large stones, and small pebbles compose the hills that rise up to either side of you, jealously guarding the path from the light of the sun. The hills gradually become larger as they march northward, growing into glassy, black volcanic hills.
  3765. Obvious paths: south, northwest.
  3766.  
  3767. Room Number: 1216

  3770. You run northwest.
  3771. [Northwest Road, Volcanic Hills]
  3772. The road goes ever on, running northwest to southeast along the ragged shoulders of some black hills. Erratic winds sweep down from their bare crests, bringing with them a constant irritation by means of minute particles of sand and grit and dust. It gets in your mouth and you spit out a foul, bitter taste. To one side a ruined cart lies abandoned and stripped of everything useful.

  3780. [Northwest Road, Volcanic Hills]
  3781. A raw, new road, scratched from the hard black rock of the hills and mountains, runs straight along from southeast to northwest. Dead trees, charred to short stumps, form a dismal grove to one side of the pathway. Up among the barren mounds of ash and cinders, something dislodges a small shower of stones that clatter loudly in the silent air. A startled bird rises in uneven flight from behind a row of boulders, screeching its outrage and terror at being disturbed. You also see a dismal grove.

  3790. [Northwest Road, Volcanic Hills]
  3791. The uneven surface of the road bumps and jars at you as you pass among the lumps and furrows made by frozen lava flows. Someone has hacked the outline of a path into the unyielding rock to guide you. To the northwest, you can barely glimpse some huddled buildings that show faint signs of life, judging from the thin trickle of smoke rising from their chimneys.

  3799. [North Roads Caravansary]
  3800. The road runs northwest past a cluster of stone buildings and stables to one side. A narrow path branches off to the east following a rough line of hills while another section continues southeast. You hear the lowing of sheep and the bleating of goats from nearby and an errant breeze brings the smell of something roasting over a fire. Elsewhere, you might wonder just what was being cooked that smells so strongly, but here and now you find you are both famished and in dire need of drink. You also see a freshly-painted roadsign pointing north.

  3808.  
  3809. [Lava Fields, Narrow Trace]
  3810. Close by, a primitive pathway has been scratched out of the hard rock and basalt to the east, where it wanders into grey shadows of dust and floating ash. A narrow road lies between high boulders in the other direction. Faint marks etched into the coarse dark stone point towards the path and away from the caravan road.

  3818.  
  3819. [Lava Fields, Narrow Trace]
  3820. The barest hint of a path undulates along the irregular crests of frozen rills of lava. Here and there, the stump of a tree, burned and dead, pokes above the bleak landscape but does little to break the monotony of the lifeless scene. The eerie desolation eats into your spirit and fills your mind with visions of death, while endless chill shadows and unnamed fears caper and dance at the edge of your senses.
  3821. Also here: Battle Artist Toreakas.

  3829. You run northeast.
  3830. [Lava Fields, Narrow Trace]
  3831. Faint markings etched into irregular boulders are your only guide in this trackless waste. Static waves of rock rise high on either side, looking like a black ocean locked into an eternity of timeless rigidity. Once this solid waste flowed with a thick and sullen life of its own, burning and destroying all before it. You also see a narrow trail.

  3839.  
  3840. [Lava Fields, Narrow Trace]
  3841. To the west, broken layers of lava and basalt rise in irregular piles. To the east and north, a narrow plane opens out between steep mountain shoulders. The black tide of volcanic destruction and molten has buried all that once was here and only a thick layer of ash remains, dancing in the erratic winds to give even a hint of life. Off to the extreme north, you can make out a narrow valley.
  3842. Obvious paths: northeast, west.

  3849. You run northeast.
  3850. [Lava Fields]
  3851. Acres of ruined farmlands stretch out on either side of the road here. Dead and buried, they lie under ragged sheets of once-molten rock now chill and barren. Flows of magma, once white hot and liquid, cover the road in places. A stinging grit rides the wind, the only crop now grown in this sere and lifeless waste. You also see a massive crater.

  3862.  
  3863. Rising shoulder high to a tall human, the magma forms rough walls that block the breezes. The air smells of flinty dust and your feet kick up small clouds with each pace. Someone has hacked a narrow path through the hard rock with great labor. To one side, a smooth white protrusion rises from the lava. It forms a sharp contrast to the drear and dark colors that abound in this deathscape.
  3864. Obvious paths: east, northwest.

  3866. Room Number: 1263
  3867.  
  3868. You run northwest.
  3869. [Lava Fields, Ruins]
  3870. Endless fields of magma stretch out to the surrounding mountains. Nearby, the charred beams of a ruined farmhouse still erupt from the uneven landscape, as if striving mutely to free themselves from their cold tomb of lifeless stone. A few scraggly bushes have found a precarious perch in pockets of wind-blown soil but they are grey and sickly. You also see a sanrisi tree with long gnarled branches.

  3878. [Lava Fields, Ruins]
  3879. Skirting a ruined farmhouse, you pass among boulders and mounds of ash. Plumes of steam rise from the mounds and you smell a sulfur stink that makes your eyes water. Everything is coated in a fine yellow dust. To the west, the mountains run close together to form a narrow valley. A few thin streams of smoke or vapor show pale grey against the black rock that surrounds it.
  3880. Obvious paths: northeast, west.

  3887.  
  3888. [Lava Fields, Valley]
  3889. Fields of broken lava give way to a relatively open valley tucked between two gigantic rock outcrops. Almost mountains in themselves, the outcrops rise steeply from the valley floor. Nestled between them sits a small, drab-looking town. Buildings made of the same black rock as the mountains straggle across the tiny valley and back into the narrowing gorge behind it.

  3897. [Volcanic Ruins, Dirge]
  3898. Cinders and debris crunch beneath your feet as a cold wind stirs the ashes into small dust devils that dance about you in a curiously mocking way. To the north, twin volcanic cones loom high into the sky. The small town tucked between their towering masses seems to huddle in on itself.

  3907. [Outside Dirge Town]
  3908. The road beneath your feet was once well paved but now shows the marks of fire and time. The stones were blackened and scorched by some great heat, warping some and breaking others. There is a heavy grey ash everywhere that blows in your face and eyes. Blocking the road north, a high stone wall guards a small group of buildings nestled between the volcanoes.

  3916. [Dirge, Outside Gate]
  3917. A road stops here at a ruined gate of charred and splintered wood. Beyond it lies a small town of uniformly dark colors huddled beneath the towering volcanic heights. To one side, a compact stone building stands watch over the infrequent traveller and the gate. You also see a narrow path of cinders and ashes with a faded signpost next to it.
  3918. Obvious paths: south.

  3925. [Dirge, Hangman's Road]
  3926. Among the cinders and ash, someone has raked a path leading along the outside of the walls. Running from the town gate to a small hill to the west, the path wanders through a landscape even bleaker and emptier than that of the town itself. You also see a cinder and ash pathway.
  3927. Obvious paths: west.

  3934. [Dirge, Hangman's Road]
  3935. A narrow path of relatively smooth cinders and crushed stone ambles aimlessly among dead grey ash-heaps and piles of stone that once were houses. To the west and a bit north, a small hill rises, bleached white by the sun and the foul air until it resembles an exposed skull left unburied among the ruins. You also see a partially opened gate amid the stony rubble.
  3936. Obvious paths: east, west.

  3944. [Dirge, Hangman's Road]
  3945. A narrow lane of crushed rock and cinders kept raked by unknown hands passes among heaped ruins of stone. Here and there, fragments of bone mingled among the rubble gleam whitely. The air is still and there is a bitter tang to it that leaves you unsatisfied with the act of breathing. It feels as if all vitality has been sucked out of the world, leaving only shades of grey and emptiness. You also see an entrance to the Wicked Burrow Mine.

  4030. Choked with stony debris and rubble, the pitch-dark stone of this corridor crowds oppressively. High above, tiny growths of phosphorescent lichen glow like strange, cheerless stars, providing just enough light to make out the worst of the hazards. An awful reek permeates the area, its acrid pungency so pronounced that it is tasted more than smelled. You also see a dark opening.

High above, phosphorescent lichen casts forth a sickly green light, the tiny pinpoint growths clustered in groups like strange constellations. An awful reek permeates the area, its acrid pungency so pronounced that it is tasted more than smelled. You also see an embroidery needle, a fuligin umbral moth, a fuligin umbral moth, a fuligin umbral moth, an Immortal Asketi card, an embroidery needle, a fuligin umbral moth, a piece of black flint, a fuligin umbral moth that is caught in a cage of swirling darkness, an embroidery needle, an embroidery needle, a fuligin umbral moth, a fuligin umbral moth, a fuligin umbral moth that appears stunned, a fuligin umbral moth that is caught in a cage of swirling darkness, a fuligin umbral moth that is caught in a cage of swirling darkness and some junk.

  4053. [Li Surmi Gelv, Dunien rae Orek]
  4054. A dainty teacup rests on its side amid heaps of mounded guano, its delicate rosebud design nearly obscured beneath a layer of grime. The phosphorescent lichen glowing high above gives off barely enough sickly green light for navigation. An awful reek permeates the area, its acrid pungency so pronounced that it is tasted more than smelled.

  4061. Mounded stones and debris form treacherous obstacles as the floor slopes downward. Dark brown stains mar the dark rock forming the back wall of the cavern, the splotches forming no discernible pattern. The air here is strangely chill, the cold driving away some of the pervasive reek afflicting this place. You also see a large crimson jade, a fuligin umbral moth, a fuligin umbral moth which appears dead, a fuligin umbral moth, a tiny yellow-green quartz, a small indigo iolite, a small green bloodstone, a tiny purple tourmaline, a fuligin umbral moth, a small cerise tourmaline, a narrow fissure, a mauve chenille belt, a brown paper-wrapped package, a wooden hairbrush and some junk.

  4068. The air here is strangely dry and chill, with a flat, stale odor. The dark stone floor of the cavern is swept clear of rocks and debris, its uneven surface shining wetly. High above, phosphorescent lichen casts forth a ruddy red-brown glow, arcing in rough spirals across a ceiling otherwise lost in darkness. You also see a narrow fissure.

The lichen elsewhere in the cavern creates an ambient glow that is barely enough to navigate by, the slick, dark stone of the floor almost as lost to sight as the ceiling high above.
