Fresh green grass, green as the greenest emerald, is soft underfoot and a pleasing foreground for a weathered wooden bench resting in the shade of a graceful willow tree. Chirping crickets fill the air and mingle with the voices of folk who stroll through the commons, and on occasion stop to exchange a tale or two with friends they meet along their way. A dusty path to the south and a riverstone walkway to the north are joined by a tall evergreen hedge which borders the edges of the lawn. You also see an orange tiger, a cloud gyrfalcon that is flying around, the Raincail disk, a lively luck spirit that is flying around, a single faewood arrow shaft, an oval mahogany cart with some stuff on it and a large wooden barrel.

[River's Rest, Commons Circle]
Here, the dusty roadway splits and continues to the northeast and northwest. The rush of River Road traffic to the south is faint in the air and the pace of life seems slower and calmer to the north. Between the roads, a dusty pathway fades into a broad expanse of green lawn. You also see a one-eared rabbit.

[River's Rest, River Road]
As safe as a gate, the river runs swiftly east to west, secure against intrusion when the well-built drawbridge to the mainland is raised. Along the riverfront, comfortable benches are interspersed with odd three sided structures, large enough to hold a giant man comfortably, but their use not readily apparent. A fresh breeze carries the sounds of a nearby marketplace from the east, and an occasional hint of roasting meat from somewhere to the north. You also see an oaken barrel.
Obvious paths: north, east, west
Rlen, Khiya, Astru, Fyrentennimar, Arastil, Raincail, Arinasi, Jersea, Clunk and Aiya followed.
>go draw
[South River Road, Drawbridge]
A worn but sturdy drawbridge spans the vast river here, connecting the road with the town on the opposite bank. Some of the more daring children from town make sport of jumping off the bridge into the water below, swimming quickly to the beach a short way down the river. You also see a road winding westward to a wide body of water while to the east it travels further up river. You also see a drawbridge guard and a weed shrouded path leading beneath the drawbridge.

You can see some of the town inhabitants sitting in the moonlight on the opposite bank of the river. In fact, the whole town looks to be a very restful and relaxed place. Local businesses and shops line the roads that you can see in town, displaying their goods for all to see. You also see a patio entrance.

[South River Road]
The river branches here at the edge of a stone breakwater surrounding the riverfront of this part of town. As a result, the river is slowed down considerably as it flows around the north and south sides of town. You also see a watchtower overlooking the road and the eastern half of town, its guards wary of any mischievous travelers.
Obvious paths: east, southwest

Stifling waves of heat blow a hot mist over you making breathing difficult. Small droplets of water condense onto the orchids, which have replaced the roses in the arch overhead. A small amount of moonlight filters its way through the thick foliage of the arch to illuminate your way. You also see a narrow path.

The pacing figure of a bearded man materializes, crossing back and forth in front of the desk. He is tall and lean, almost on the side of scrawny, but carries himself with an inherent menace. Sound soon follows, and it becomes obvious that the man is talking as he paces, his cool, emotionless voice joined by the scratching of an enchanted ink quill floating above the open pages of a journal.

In this morning's tests, I successfully removed the hearts of the patients with the proper enchantments to keep both hosts and the hearts alive. It is a major breakthrough to alter living creatures, versus simply combining the different parts of the dead." The bearded man smiles faintly and licks his lips, then pauses as if hearing something. He turns slowly, narrowing his eyes and scanning the small study. His intense stare falls upon you, and the air seems to chill along your exposed skin. The man frowns and shakes his head and turns back to gaze out the window.

[South River Road]
The trees alongside the road filter out the majority of the sound from the falls to the northeast, shielding your ears from the noise. The road also runs westward along the bank of the river. You also see a lively luck spirit that is flying around, the Raincail disk and a rough-cut track through the undergrowth to the south.

[South River Road, Waterfall]
The waterfall violently empties into the Tempest River here, tossing up billowing clouds of water vapor. The moonlight glints off each individual droplet, filling the air with dancing pulses of light. One might think it relaxing if it weren't for the deafening roar of the waterfall filling your ears. Peeking out from behind the falls you see some stone steps carved into the face of the cliff, leading upward to the plateau above. A road also follows alongside the river to the southwest. You also see a rolton and a linden-shaded path.
Also here: Clunk, Lady Jersea, Arinasi, Raincail, Arastil, Vault Guardian Fyrentennimar, Aiya
Obvious paths: southwest
J>Aiya's group just went up some stone steps.
[Tempest Falls, Landing]
The steps pause at a landing of sorts behind the waterfall. Only inches from the edge of the landing, the water falls rather noisily from above. Any further progress up the steps is impossible, as the rushing water blocks your way. You also see a large slab of riverstone leaning precariously against the wall.
Also here: Clunk, Lady Jersea, Arinasi, Raincail, Arastil, Vault Guardian Fyrentennimar, Aiya
Obvious paths: down
J>Aiya's group just went into a narrow crevice.
[A Silent Path, Cave]
Distant sounds of a waterfall echo softly in this ancient grotto. A crystal clear pool feeds from a fissure, then narrows into a small creek disappearing under some ivory-colored flowstone along the floor of the cavern. Eerie fluoresence streaking the walls glows a sickly yellow-green, just enough to make out an easterly passage.
Also here: Clunk, Lady Jersea, Arinasi, Raincail, Arastil, Vault Guardian Fyrentennimar, Aiya
Obvious paths: east, out
J>Aiya's group just went east.
[A Silent Path, Cave]
Barely more than a crawlway, this claustrophobic passage continues parallel to the twisting creek. Traveling quickly over smooth stones, the waterway serves as both companion and guide. Tiny blindfish traverse the length of the creekbed, blissfully unaware of the nearby foot traffic. Small oil-soaked rag torches stuck into the walls help illuminate the path.
Also here: Clunk, Lady Jersea, Arinasi, Raincail, Arastil, Vault Guardian Fyrentennimar, Aiya
Obvious exits: northeast, west
J>Aiya's group just went northeast.
[A Silent Path, Mouth of Cave]
Moonlight filters in from the cave opening southeast, dust motes and insects swirling in the pale rays. Tendrils of vines drape down from the top edge of the entrance, almost hiding it from outside view. A box containing unlit wooden torches and strips of torn cloth sits next to a southwesterly passage leading deeper into the delve. You also see a splintered wooden box containing some used wooden torches.
Also here: Clunk, Lady Jersea, Arinasi, Raincail, Arastil, Vault Guardian Fyrentennimar, Aiya
Obvious exits: southeast, southwest
J>Aiya's group just went southeast.
[A Silent Path, Cul-de-Sac]
The path appears deadended in this cul-de-sac ringed by tall tanik trees. The dark trunks reach skyward, splitting into multi-tiered branches with blue-green fir needles. Verdant moss covers the ground, playing hide and seek underneath lush fiddlehead ferns. A lichen-covered granite outcropping in the distance to the northwest has a curtain of vines descending over what looks like a dark opening. A path leads northeast out of the cul-de-sac.
Also here: Clunk, Lady Jersea, Arinasi, Raincail, Arastil, Vault Guardian Fyrentennimar, Aiya
Obvious paths: northeast, northwest
J>Aiya's group just went northeast.
[A Silent Path, Forest]
Tanik trees line this winding path, the forest floor littered with browning pinecones full of seed. Dappled moonlight breaking through the twisting branches settles in patches here and there. A small creek trickles out from an underground seep, running clear over multi-hued stones that almost look like dusky jewels.
Also here: Clunk, Lady Jersea, Arinasi, Raincail, Arastil, Vault Guardian Fyrentennimar, Aiya
Obvious paths: southeast, southwest
J>Aiya's group just went southeast.
[A Silent Path, Meadowlands]
In this pastoral setting, a babbling creek rushes alongside the path, starlight glinting on the water in silvery glimmers of reflection. As it turns it widens and hurries past grassy banks blooming with tiny flowers. Large stones smoothed by eons of running water line the creek shores, signaling the long ago existence of an ancient riverbed. The path runs northwest towards a forest, while the northeast direction moves over rolling meadowed hills.

Obvious paths: northeast, northwest
J>Aiya's group just went northeast.
[A Silent Path, Meadowlands]
The oft-trodden dirt path snakes around grassy knolls in this wide-open meadow. Views from the small rises reveal a building off in the distance southeast of here. A wide, meandering creek keeps travellers company as they make their way to their destination, while benches made of tanik and stone provide a scenic resting place by the water's edge for the weary. A southwest turn in the path heads further into the meadow.
Also here: Clunk, Lady Jersea, Arinasi, Raincail, Arastil, Vault Guardian Fyrentennimar, Aiya
Obvious paths: southeast, southwest
J>Aiya's group just went southeast.
[A Silent Path, Gateway]
To the northwest, a meadow stretches out like a soft carpet of tall waving grass and flowers, while the eastern turn of the path is well-tended and lined with yew hedges braced by a striking iron and stone gate. A monk wanders by, his lips moving in silent prayer as he strolls along the creek following the path.
Also here: Clunk, Lady Jersea, Arinasi, Raincail, Arastil, Vault Guardian Fyrentennimar, Aiya
Obvious paths: east, northwest
J>Aiya's group just went east.
[Courtyard]
A flagstone courtyard centers around a pool fed by a creek, its clear, cool waters sheltered by a weeping willow tree. An enormous sandstone statue stands sentry next to a bustling monastery made from green-veined riverstone and timbered tanik. Neatly pruned rose bushes softly scent the courtyard adding to the serenity of the surroundings. A paved pathway leads through the rose bushes to a nearby meadow. You also see a smooth sandstone bench with some stuff on it.

[Oteska's Haven, Niima's Shrine]
The wide-planked floor is slightly warped from the damp. A small turf fire burns in a brass brazier, providing both warmth and a flickering golden-hued light. The whitewashed walls have faded over the years into a soft yellow color that is reminiscent of aged ivory. A lingering sense of tranquility suffuses the room. A low altar stands before an oaken statue of Niima, the Wavedancer. You also see an orange tiger.

[Dismal Slough, Oteska's Haven]
A deep layer of mud covers what must have once been a dirt walkway leading between a collection of decrepit shanties and shacks constructed from planks of weathered wood. The doorways to the structures have all been battered and broken. Fog drifts among the structures like ghosts. To the southwest the path wends between a pair of oddly-shaped hummocks. You also see a greater bog troll.

The creek curves from the northwest to the southwest. The barnacle-encrusted pilings of an old dock stand forlornly in the elbow of the foggy creek. An overgrown path from the pilings wends its way northeast between two large, oddly-shaped hummocks. Thick, thorny brambles grow in wild profusion on the hummocks. Beyond the hummocks can be seen a knot of dilapidated wooden buildings.

The greenish water of the creek moves sluggishly. The air is tinged with the primal stink of saltmarsh and ocean. Reeds, slimy and dark, grow thick along the banks of the creek. Tall trees, their lower creekside branches trimmed back, lean out over the banks. Chilly wisps of fog eddy drowsily over the water. You also see a greater moor wight.

A slow-moving, green tidal creek feeds into a wide, reed-choked, fetid mire. Trees line both sides of the creek. Some of the branches that would have overhung the creek have been systematically lopped off.

[Ghastly Swamp, Foggy Path]
The path through the swamp twists and turns, no more than an animal trail leading deeper into the marshy area. Reeds and tall cattails are barely visible in the darkness, lining the path and serving as tactile warning of the insect-ridden waters beyond. A thick, damp fog blankets the area, reducing visibility to only a few feet ahead at any time. You also see an orange tiger, a cloud gyrfalcon that is flying around, a lively luck spirit that is flying around, the Raincail disk and a fog shrouded path.

[Ghastly Swamp, Foggy Path]
The thick fog reduces visiblity to the surrounding reeds, great brown and tan stalks that rise high over head and frame the twisting soggy pathway. Muted screams from unknown inhabitants filter through the thick, white wall of mist that hides their origin and location. Occasionally, something splashes through the water and mud just beyond the wall of reeds, drawing close, then fading away. You also see a necrotic snake.

Birds call back and forth to each other from above and to either side, their songs muted by the damp whiteness that plagues the fens.

[Millah's Fens, Narrow Path]
The pathway narrows suddenly into little more than the track of the errant animals who have made the fens their home. An increasing number of reeds appear to the east between slow moving tendrils of fog which rise from the surrounding marshy waters to drift gradually towards the sky. Scattered across a low mound not far from the path are the remains of a human skeleton, bereft of the bones from its lower half and draped across the ground as if attempting to crawl away. You also see a cloud gyrfalcon that is flying around, an orange tiger and a necrotic snake that appears dead.

You peer down and see ...
[Millah's Fen, Stream Bank]
The remnants of a cobbled stone road emerge from a wide stream and climb over the bank in the direction of a rocky hill. The hill stands tall and alone, its rock-strewn sides covered in moss and patches of brown grass, rising out of the patchy fog, oblivious to the surrounding flat fens and marshes. Pale, gnarled sycamores bend over the stream and surround the area with moss-draped ghostly white forms.

[Marsh Keep, Inner Portcullis]
Daylight pours through a kill hole located in the ceiling of the narrow inner chamber between the outer and inner portculli, illuminating a grim scene of abandoment and destruction. Leaning askew against one wall are the remains of a once thick, wooden door with the hinges still attached to its sides. Broken pieces of wood and gravel litter the ground between the outside and a courtyard visible to the north. You also see the Raincail disk and a rusted portcullis.

The inner portcullis opens up on a large courtyard surfaced with red octagonal paving stones. Few signs of ill repair and neglect are openly visible with the exception of the random tuft of brown weeds creeping up through crevices in the stones and scattered, unrecognizable sun-bleached bones. Overlooking the courtyard is the parapet of the outer wall, accessible by a series of stone steps to the east. You also see the Raincail disk.

Dust blankets the surfaces of the kitchen, from brass pots hanging from a ceiling rack to a large countertop built to slope towards a rusted metal sink. A wood chopping block sits in the middle of the room, with a butcher's cleaver buried an inch into its surface, along with the skeletal remains of a chicken resting alongside it.

Spiraling up and down is a massive stone staircase decorated with a faded red rug held in place by narrow gleaming brass bars and pins hammered into the side of steps. A chilling draft flows up from the darkness below, carrying with it a strong sense of decay and death. Set on the wall above the upward-destined steps is a slashed painting hung within a gold gilded frame.

Underneath the bed's canopy, a skeleton in rotting robes lies sprawled across the dusty sheets, one boney hand still gripping a hanging canopy cord. A second skeleton lies against an opposite wall near a book shelf and just under a candelabra. Moonlight streams into the room from a large window across from the bed, to shine across an opened tome lying on the floor as if dropped.

The dust and wear of yesteryears give way to a well-kept bedroom rich in opulent decor. As the lore magic expands throughout the room, four figures fade into sight, three men and one woman. All are dressed in ragged and dirty clothing, and all are armed. One man clutches a club in two hands, while the others all finger throwing knives in hand. The man with the club steps behind the thick curtains flanking the window, and the others take up positions to either side of a bookshelf.

[Marsh Keep, Hallway]
Running to the east and north, the hallway turns at a right angle past a simple wooden door. Paintings line each side of the hallway, interspersed between brass candelabras built into the wall and backed by small mirrors. The rug laid out along the length of the hallway, decorated in a diamond and square pattern, is particularly worn at the doorway. You also see an orange tiger, a cloud gyrfalcon that is flying around, a flesh golem, the Raincail disk, a lively luck spirit that is flying around and a flesh golem.

[Marsh Keep, Landing]
The spiraling staircase ends evenly with the floor of the landing, next to a turned over column and a partially shattered bust lying on the ground. A hallway extends to the west, past a row of narrow windows and a small table that provides the setting for a vase full of wilted flowers. Dust swirls about in the columns of light that pour in from the windows, changing directions with every errant draft of wind.

[Marsh Keep, Stone Staircase]
Spiraling up and down is a massive stone staircase decorated with a faded red rug held in place by narrow gleaming brass bars and pins hammered into the side of steps. A chilling draft flows up from the darkness below, carrying with it a strong sense of decay and death. Set on the wall above the upward-destined steps is a slashed painting hung within a gold gilded frame.

[Marsh Keep, Dungeon Landing]
A dark gloom greets the end of the great stone stairwell as it comes to a stop at broad landing. Pierced only by the light of a single flickering torch, the gloom gives way to a hallway leading to the east, the same direction from which flows a damp breeze thick with the smell of decay. Footprints cover the surrounding floor in a haphazard pattern of chaotic activity, many possessing clawed toes and heels.

[Marsh Keep, Dungeon Hallway]
The walls of the dungeon widen into a hallway with passages leading to the north and southeast, with the stairwell landing to the west. Irregularly cut blocks of granite make up the primary building material, except to the south where smooth black stones run along the edge of the floor. A torch located down the south hallway provides little available light, reflected off a pile of glistening white bones stacked against the wall.

[Marsh Keep, Dungeon Hallway]
Three torches placed on the curving wall of the hallway provide ample light for passage between walls built of mostly roughly-hewn granite, and near the floor, smooth black stones. Scattered across the floor are rotting heaps of skin, removed from their possessors by some unknown instrument, and left to decay. Insects swarm over the flesh, chewing up from underneath to crawl across the surface, the repulsive sight not enough to distract from the stench. You also see a flesh golem.

Curving to the northeast, the hallway begins to narrow as the granite blocks become the predominant material used in the construction, with the black stone sinking further toward the ground. Pieces of clothing litter the floor, creating a trail that leads to the south toward an open iron door. A loud trollish roar reverberates through the dungeon, and bounces off the walls, followed by the sound of something scratching its claws against metal. You also see a tomb troll.

Flickering pitifully is a torch afixed to the wall next to an iron door. The wall is built of two materials, smooth, black stone on the lower half and granite blocks on the upper half, leading up to the ceiling. Discarded clothing covers the floor, creating a trail of pieces of cloth leading into the cell behind the door.

Darkness shrouds this corner of the hallway. The only light comes from a vaulted chamber to the west and a single torch, neither strong enough to completely pierce the vell of blackness over this portion of the dungeon. Underfoot, something crunches with every step.

[Marsh Keep, Dungeon Vault]
From the direction of a hallway to the east, a loud clanking noise as if someone or something is bashing a metal object, Echoes into the vaulted chamber. The tattered remains of an old tapestry lie heaped in a corner, partially concealing a broken metal rod from which it once was suspended. Flickering light from five torches to the east create the sensation of dark figures moving back and forth in nearby shadows. You also see a flesh golem.

[Marsh Keep, Dungeon Vault]
The southern lip of the half-dome ends above and the ceiling of the chamber seamlessly meets the top of a massive iron door. Set between the door and five burning torches on the northside of the chamber is a large stone altar, atop which lies a skeleton impaled through the chest by metal spear. The dark sockets of the skeleton's skull gazes silently at the metal door while its boney hands grasp the spear by its haft above its chest.

The great iron door sits on unseen hinges and covers much of the wall on the south side of the chamber. Words etched into the surface have been rendered illegible by countless claw marks. A bronze handle shaped to resemble a twelve-pointed star is placed in the center of the door.
J>l alt
Beyond the presence of the skeleton on its top, the stone altar is cleanly cut with crisp even lines and a smooth, polished surface marred only by random claw marks. A shallow, circular depression on the north-facing side of the altar is partially filled by half a bronze medallion that has been bent over on itself, hiding the surface from view.
J>Khiya says, "I'm not sure about the medallion."

omber murals surround this chamber where the stone paved floor has sunk several feet below the doorway leading back out into the vaulted room.

Occasionally, something causes the water to ripple as unseen things stir beneath the surface. You also see a tomb troll and some muck.

Between them stand mages of varying race and gender. One steps forward, the hilt of the longsword pointed toward you and speaks, "Assume now, Commander, the Guardianship of the Jewel of the Empire, where all that is and was magnificent began and now ends....""
>Khiya recites:
"Surroundings shift and hordes of humanoids surround you, as well the gruesome symphonic noise of battle. You move with uncommon grace amongst them, your black longsword an extension of your arm, and from your lips you scream, "Elanith with me, we do not fall this day!" Behind you a standard-bearer waves a banner of blue and buff, and the battle begins to ebb in your favor as your surroundings shift again."
J>J>Khiya recites:
"Ou find yourself kneeling in the dark in a garden, cradling the longsword between your legs. Beside you is a statue of a woman in the middle of a pool and voices carry from nearby shadows, "It is treason. She cares too much for the city ... we cannot tolerate such devotion at OUR expense."

the day is nearly won. You stand on the corpse of an enemy, directing the battle, and pause to snarl at a soldier, "If the Mages wish the Citadel safe, they can do it themselves!" The soldier, frightened, ducks away. You turn back to the battle, only to feel something pierce your side. You spin to stare in shock at the standard-bearer and his bloodied dagger. Again, things shift."
J>Khiya recites:
"Things shift a final time. You're cold. You cannot move. You sense you're lying on your back and your longsword rests upon your chest, its tip nestled between your feet. Someone has placed your hands upon the hilt. Soldiers stand at attention, and a slab of marble begins to move into your field of vision above you.

J>[Forgotten Cairn, Interior]
Strung from the ceiling of the chamber, a single green orb provides lighting to the interior of the cairn, bathing all surfaces in an eerie green glow. A sarcophagus sits in the center of the chamber, which is slightly flooded by dark, slow moving pools of water. Armor, weapons, and shields surround, set on racks or placed upon numerous chests, many of antique design or build. At the head of the tomb stands a banner, reduced to faded cloth by the passage of time. You also see a cloud gyrfalcon that is flying around, an orange tiger, a lively luck spirit that is flying around, the Raincail disk and a dark pool of water.
