#AREA Northern Sea Trail~ ??~ ~ 0 0 0 #ROOMS #21000 Fork in the Trail~ You have reached a fork in the trail. To the north, the path begins to climb and off in the distance you can see a small watch tower. To the east the path drops sharply winding its way down a small cliff to what looks like a beach below. To the west the path is fairly level and leads off into the hillside. ~ ~ 301465600 2 6 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 21001 10 10 5 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 21017 10 10 5 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24020 10 10 5 A ~ ~ act_tochar( #begin, ch ); wait( 2 ); if( char_in_room( ch, room ) ) { act_tochar( #journ, ch ); transfer( ch, find_room( 35778 ) ); } ~ E journ~ After many days of weary travel, you find yourself standing before a cliff. ~ E begin~ You begin the long treck across the desert. ~ ! 3 2 4 -1 S #21001 Western Sea Trail~ The marked trail continues on to the north and south.

Its thick walls covered with ivy and moss, the structure is apparently quite old and, judging from the pock marks gouged into the tower's base, seen many a battle. To the east, a small dirt path leads back toward the main trail, while a short distance away from the cleared area near the tower's base, a low curtain of brush creeps out toward you. ~ non sentinel guard can't go up from here...

The clear blue water of the sea laps gently against the shore below and as the light strikes different portions of it you can see a light twinkling effect, hence why it is called the Sea of Stars.

Off in the distance to the south you hear the rhythmic sound of waves crashing, and above you fly many different varieties of sea birds. This small road is not one of the safest places apparently as there are frequent reports of highway men and rogues. Even the semi-frequent patrols of guards can't keep it safe. To the north, a small road disappears from view behind a screen of bushes.

A cool breeze blows across the cliff carried with it the scent of the salt water below. To the east the trail becomes rocky as it continues to make its climb up the cliff and around the edges of the sea.

Most of the leaves and branches have been stripped from this wood, although it is far from clean. Rustling noises can be heard within the pile as recently displaced animals attempt to make sense of their new surroundings ~ -1 S #21049 Northern Sea trail - Cliff Overlooking the Sea of Stars~ Large smooth boulders lie scattered about the trail here, nearly blocking further passage to the east. The roots of several of the trees which border the trail break through the hard ground here as time has eroded most of the soil away. Looking over the edge you notice that several trees lie at the rocky shore below as the cliff has slowly been eaten away by erosion.

Several trees which sit at the southern edge of the trail lean at a steep angle over the cliff, as if at any moment their roots could break and send them tumbling to the water below. A few miles to the southeast you can see the city of Medienne sitting just on the outskirts of the forest. Far off the southwest the city of Chiiron appears as a mere speck as the landscape. ~ ~ 301465600 12 9 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 21051 10 10 5 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 21049 10 10 5 -1 S #21051 Northern Sea trail - Cliff Overlooking the Sea of Stars~ Wagon ruts have been worn deep into the trail here, testament to the intense trading between Chiiron and Medienne over the last hundred years. The trail is littered with small gravel-like rocks here, making movement slow and tedious across it as you carefully try not to slip and fall off the edge of the cliff. Just barely visible at least fifty miles to the east are the massive Dragonspire mountains. ~ ~ 301465600 12 9 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 21052 10 10 5 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 21050 10 10 5 -1 S #21052 Northern Sea trail - Cliff Overlooking the Sea of Stars~ The sound of the massive waves of the Sea of Stars crashing against the rocky base of the cliff fills the air. The trail has become considerably wider here, allowing enough room for several wagons to pass side by side with ease. Sitting against the northern edge of the trail are two small wagons filled with road working equipment ranging from shovels to hefty pick-axes. Along the southern edge of the trail a small, makeshift stone wall has been built. The trail continues seemingly for miles to the east and west from here. ~ ~ 301465600 12 9 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 21317 10 10 5 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 21051 10 10 5 -1 S #21058 Trail Around Medienne~ The ancient wall looms over the small path, unmoved by countless assaults and the hands of time.

It has survived time and strife quite well, and appears quite a formidable defense still. ~ E pines~ Tall pine trees grow right up to the edge of the path. They grow close together, and their low-hanging branches block movement. ~ -1 S #21059 Northern Sea Trail~ You are on a well-worn trail that runs north and south. About 150 meters below you is an inlet of the Northern Sea, covered in a light mist, with waters that are dark and black.

There is a major fork in the trail here with the main trail running to the west and then south of here, and a smaller fork in heading off to the north and the densely wooded slopes. Standing to one side of this crossroads is an empty gibbet, its rope gently swaying in the breeze - a reminder to those highwaymen and robbers who inhabit these parts. A rickety @bsign@n points with three broken edges. ~ rewrite this desc ~ 301465600 12 6 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 28000 10 10 5 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 21235 10 10 5 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 21060 10 10 5 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 21062 10 10 5 E sign~ The sign reads: Chiiron - West Medienne - South Kha-da - North Monastery - North ~ -1 S #21062 Northern Sea Trail~ The mountain road continues to the east and west here.

The view is breathtaking, with the chasm dropping steeply away to meet the glittering inland sea to the far south.

A slim tower rises from a crag of rock. You think you can make your way to the tower if you climb down the cliff here, toward a faint trail that traces its way across the top of a ridge, follows it down the other side and then rises up to meet the tower's base. ~ ~ 301465600 5 9 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 21023 10 10 5 A 2 climb~ 1 down cliff~ if( can_fly( ch ) ) { send_to_char( #char, ch ); act_notchar( #room, ch ); transfer( ch, find_room( 21097 ) ); act_notchar( #arr, ch ); end; } if( find_skill( ch, climb ) < random( 2, 10 ) ) { act_tochar( #slip, ch ); end; } else { send_to_char( #char, ch ); act_notchar( #room, ch ); transfer( ch, find_room( 21097 ) ); act_notchar( #arr, ch ); } ~ E slip~ You start to climb down, but stop when you slip and nearly fall. ~ E arr~ $n comes climbing slowly down the cliff. ~ E room~ $n slowly climbs down the cliff. ~ E char~ You climb slowly down the steep cliff. ~ ! 0 0 0 787 17 1509949540 -2 0 -1 S #21097 Ridgeline Trail~ A trail starts here and snakes gently along the top of a ridgeline that droops down in the middle and rises back up toward the tower, a good stone's throw to the south.

The narrow trail leads right up to a small doorstep. Bushes and rocks line the base, so there is no way to walk around the tower. The door is of thick-looking, iron-bound, weathered oak. The steep cliff face looks as though it would provide many hand holds, if an adventurous soul wanted to reach the fortress above. ~ [Seltha] This is where the skap stronghold used to be (back door) and the rdesc is the same saying that you can climb to the fortress above...

It seems the rooms take up whole levels, with a narrow stair along the wall, winding up to the next level. The floor is covered in expensive rugs, and the walls are covered with tapestries, giving it a warm feel. There is the usual furniture for relaxing, studying, and socializing.

Most of the tables are taken up by beakers, vials, burners, urns, tubes, globes with tubes comming out, and more. But in the corner, you see a summoning circle with full inks, and gem-dust, and big unlit candles. ~ E circle~ They are time consuming to make, and the arts for it are rare.

The tables are well carved in abstract scenes, and the chairs are padded and soft. A stairway continues up and down here. ~ E desk~ The desk is clean and orderly, very unlike the room below. You find a bunch of alchemical papers and thesis, but much of it is beyond you. You also find many pages written in a short-hand script, and you can't make much of any of it. ~ E 5 bookshelves~ The bookshelves seem to hold popular stories, myths, and literature. Looking along the spines, it looks like the owner speaks all the common languages. There are books here in Human, Elvish, Dwarvish, Slisp, Orcish, and you even think Gnomish. ~ E bed~ The bed is large, and set with thick down covers.

To the east, scrub bushes grow in the lee side of the hill as the ground falls away toward the meadowy open spaces directly west of Medienne. To the west, the ground plunges downward toward the shore of the sea, and in the distance you spy a road snake its way down to the waterline, where several piers jut out into the choppy waters. ~ ~ 301465600 2 6 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 21228 10 10 5 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 21225 10 10 5 -1 S #21228 Windswept Copse~ Weatherworn limbs intertwine like gnarled and ageless wooden fingers overhead in the shadowy dimness created by the dense cluster of trees. The air strangely calm within this small grove, with incessant gusts of wind whistling by unable to penetrate the screen of thick branches and brush. You stand at the highest point in the area, with a rutted dirt road passing by to the north, at the foot of a steep, grassy slope.
