Bridge over the River Elhanni~
A wide stone arch bridges the Elhanni's rough, choppy waters.  The

current underneath is powerful, and you feel its pull against the bridge

as it rushes against the aged stone supports.  To the west, a dense

forest has crept its way almost up to the riverbank, where it enters the

forest's dark mass.  Thick branches join with one another over the road,

screening the road's surface from the sky overhead.  To the 

east, the road heads up a slope back toward Chiiron.

At the Edge of a Dark Wood~
An unpaved road winds its way between twisted trees whose branches

twine far above your head in the darkness.  Holding your finger in

the air for a moment, you are unable to detect even the slightest of

drafts.  The still air is cool and moist, and your lungs are filled with

the pungent odor of toadstool and damp earth.  To the west, the road

leads further into the woods, seemingly swallowed whole by the shadowy

trees.

Edge of the Woods~
The edge of a forest unfolds about the area.  Looking south, the road

gradually becomes submerged in the depths of a stately wood.  To the

west, the forest gives way to open fields and meadows, and crosses a

small wooden bridge on the way to a small village.  Dark brush and thick

branches of the forest prevent your progress to the north.


A sign stands by the edge of a roadside.

Road Between Fields~
The road passes through numerous fields and small gardens.  Low stone

walls line the sides of the road, the rocks piled up from years of

plowing the nearby fields.  To the west, a gradual slope leads down to

small plaza surrounded by a tight cluster of modest buildings.  Off to

the south, a gate leads into a carefully plowed field.

Village Green~
You are at the southeastern corner of a small village green.  A tight

cluster of small houses, shops, and outbuildings huddle around the little

plaza.  The green stands near the bottom of the large, bowl-shaped Rua

Valley, with high hills looming in the distance to the north, west, and

south.  A solid looking building lies on a small pond to the northeast,

and the pond is channeled to drive a large waterwheel.  To the east, a

road climbs the gentle rise into a thick wood.

Village Green~
A gnarled oak tree dominates this corner of the green.  Its wrinkled,

weathered trunk demonstrates both its age and importance as a prominent

local landmark.  Near the tree is a small stone @bwell@n, partially

sheltered by one of the oak's great limbs, swinging slowly in the breeze. 

An aged iron lantern hangs from one of the great tree's limbs, swinging

slowly in the breeze.  The Valley Road branches off to the west from

here, and Mallander's Way intersects the green further to the south.

Village Green~
Looking around from your position at the northeastern corner of the

green, you can see Delving Lane branching off to the north, and the

Valley Road leading down to the west.  Laid out with a great deal of

care, the roads' straight angles suggest a level of importance belying

their current level of disrepair.  A solid looking building fronts the

green to the east.  Thick walls support a roof whose massive beams jut

beyond the eaves.

Delving Lane~
The lane slopes down slightly to the east, while off to the west it

approaches a range of steep, wooded hills.  High above the valley, the

forlorn hills spread out along the horizon, their thick tapestry of

greens and browns appearing at once distant and yet somehow quite close

at hand.

Delving Lane~
You stand at the edge of a range of steep hills.  The face of a 

sharply-angled cliff prevents the road's continued progress to the west. 

Dark brown lichens and moss grow into small cracks and crevices in the

rock, and scraggly brush clumps against the rise at the foot of the lane. 

To the north, the lane leisurely climbs up into the lower reaches of the

hills which ring the valley.  Back to the east, the road leads down

toward the valley floor.

Valley Road~
Finely-joined cobblestones lead east and west here along the ancient

Valley Road.  Once a thoroughfare of great importance, its place among

the great trade routes of the world has long since slipped away.  Only

its grey, weathered marvels of engineering remain, the tangible reminders

of a bygone era of local prominance and prosperity.

The road continues its straight-line progress.  To the west, the ground

of the road appear small and frail in comparison to the masses of earth

which obscure the horizon line.

stands off to the east, leading toward Pennan, while the road continues

The grassy ground of the Greened Way climbs slightly here, slowly moving

up from the valley floor and into the hills which encircle the tiny

village of Pennan.  To the north, the wooded slopes rises steeply, while

a thick tangle of vegetation prevents exploration to the south.

You are on the wide cobblestone avenue affectionately referred to by

locals as "The Way." To the north, the lane leads toward the village

green; to the south, the way continues its straight-line progress between

the tightly-arranged houses and fields of the valley.  A small stone

drain pipe emerges from the village green, emptying into a deep ditch

along the eastern edge of the road.

the middle of the stream trickles unobtrusively from west to east.

Mallander's Way~
Pennan's crumbled parapets loom high above you to the west, for the most

part somehow having remained standing despite years of disuse.  Running

roughly from west to south, the remains of the old town fortifications

impose an unnatural stone skyline upon the area, one which provides a

mute but uneasy counterpoint to the indifferent sky overhead.  Rising

above its neighbors, a single ancient and square tower stands off to the

south, the remains of a small keep built to control access to areas south

of Pennan and the Rua Valley.

mechanism, the portcullis is merely closed.  Its unlikely a score of ents

You stand inside the spacious central room of a country inn.  A blazing

hearth dominates the north wall.  A door to the left of the hearth leads

to a side room.  The windows are all closed, with long jagged nails

driven into the fine wood window sills.  A long bar runs along most of

the east wall, and behind it is a small door leading to what you would

guess would be the inn's back rooms.  Many chairs and tables are

scattered about the room, nearly all of them empty, the physical

reminders of a bygone, prosperous age.

Stone Cottage~
You stand inside a small stone dwelling with simple furnishings and a

hearth which shows signs of a recent cleaning.  A pantry stands next to a

window on the north wall, and in the center of the room a few low stools

are arranged around a circular wooden table.  A coarse tapestry decorates

the west wall, its pastoral settings providing a heavy-handed attempt to

lighten up an otherwise drab room.

Before a Comfortable Hearth~
Stepping inside, you realize that the interior of the building is somehow

larger than what is physically possible.  A blazing hearth dominates the

west wall, with a few cozy oak chairs gathered by it.  You feel at peace

here, and somehow sense that little in this room has changed in quite

some time.  A soft feather bed is tucked into one corner, and an exotic

fur rug covers much of the marble floor under your feet.

You have entered a small but sturdy stone building, less of a cottage

than a redoubt.  Jagged arrow slits leer in the half-light, having

supplanted windows in each of the building's four walls.  The furnishings

of the building are spartan - a few small cots, a large desk, and a small

table are the only indications that this building is used for anything

but military purposes.  Several wooden crates are stacked against the

east wall.


A large piece of parchment is tacked up on the wall, and several smaller

This wooden cabin has managed, somehow, to avoid the destruction which

has ravaged so much of the valley.  The building has been stripped to its

bare structural elements.  The windows have been boarded up and nailed

shut, and the floorboards ripped up and stacked uneasily next to a small

stone hearth along the north wall.  Scores of holes in the walls and

ceiling attest to the poverty of the building's owners.

along the crest of a low-lying valley ridge.  Judging from the condition

of the ground beneath your feet, this land has not been farmed in quite

Stone Farmhouse~
The farmhouse's walls are unusually thick.  Small windows and stout

shutters add to the impression that this building was constructed to

weather a siege.  Nonetheless, the farmhouse's central chamber is a

comfortable place, possessing a generously-sized hearth and many cooking

implements, all neatly arranged along the north wall.  A large

rectangular table of fine oak sits in the center of the room, surrounded

by a half-dozen straight-backed chairs.  Several large wooden crates are

lined up along the south wall in a neat row.  A flight of stairs along

the east wall leads upstairs to the sleeping area.

Delving's End~
Tall hills from the north and west close in on the lane here, bringing

the valley walls together in a choked rocky pass.  A large earth and

stone barricade has been erected here, the local folk desperately seeking

a way to prevent additional raiders from entering the valley.  The road

starts to the north.  To the east, you see the remains of the old town

mill, now abandoned and in ruins.

The Ruined Mill~
High stone walls rise above you, toward a roof riddled with holes.  You

stand inside an old mill, now damaged beyond hope of repair.  A great

deal of rubble lies strewn about the room, including what appears to be

the remains of the millstone itself, cleaved in two by a single

monumental blow.  You sense movement overhead, amongst the weathered

beams and broken remains of the mill's towering roof.

West of a Fishing Dock~
A curtain of cattails and lush vegetation rings the shore of the mill

lake to the east.  Far across the lake flows the Elhanni River, feeding

the soggy marshland.  A few rickety wooden planks extend eastward toward a

collapsing boathouse and decaying dock.  To the north stands the old

mill, while Delving Lane is off to the west at the foot of the hills.

as more and more boulders begin to litter the meadowy clearing.  You spy

an opening between two boulders in that direction; the narrow track

continues on west into a stand of birch trees.  An immense boulder

precludes movement to the south.

trees continues to the north, while south of you an extremely steep slope

of bare rock and dirt leads up toward the crest of the hill.

bush plants~
The lush bushes are laden with shiny red holly berries.  The healthy

green of the leaves is rather surprising, given the lack of any other

vegetation in the surrounding area.  The branches are carefully trimmed

and pruned; excellent care has been taken of these large bushes.  Beyond

the bushes is a faint trail, though you would have to pass through the

holly to reach it.

Sheltered Hillside Alcove~
You stand inside a rocky alcove, surrounded on three sides by nearly

vertical rock walls which reach far above your head.  The hills continue

to rise above you to the north and west.  Hundreds of stones clatter

about your feet as you walk here, the stone of the hills worn and broken

down here by the ages.  Two large rocks block your exit to the east,

though perhaps it would be possible to squeeze between them.

A Narrow Gap~
The path continues to the south along the edge of a steep incline.  A

slow trickle of water drips slowly off the rock wall which rises above

you to the west.  To the east, the small flow of water drips off the edge

of the rocky path and down toward the valley floor below to the east. 

Below you to the east, the valley floor opens up and in the distance to

the east you see the mill lake and the abandoned mill next to it.

At the Edge of A Steep Drop~
The valley wind rushes up the side of the hill and crashes hard into your

below you, you can make out people and animals traveling along Delving

rocky hillside.

A Craggy Promontory~
The hills rise far above your head to the west, in a single, monumental

stone leap.  To the east and south, the ground falls away quite suddenly,

leading down toward the floor of the valley.  Below you to the east you

spy an extremely narrow goat path cut into the side of the hill, and even

further below the path you spy the village proper, shrouded in a fine

mist typical of the valley's clime.  Several immense stone slabs lie on

the rocky ground here.

Rocky Trail~
The trail leads east and south here, making its way slowly through the

rough, rocky terrain.  A sheer drop to the west reveals a small spring at

the base of the cliff.  To your north, another rock wall rises high above

your head; at its top you see a canopy of green.  A small path winds its

way up between the rocks to the north.

Rocky Trail~
Turning away from a sheer cliff to the south, the trail runs north to

west here.  The view of the Rua Valley to the south is stunning, with

small fields and farms gathered in a tight circle, surrounded on all

sides by the emerald wilderness.  Peeking around a slate-grey boulder,

you follow the course of the Greened Way as it winds its way between the

steep ridges and hillsides west of Pennan.

Rocky Trail~
A narrow, rocky trail leads down a steep slope to the east, and climbs up

it toward a high outcropping to the west.  The passage of many feet has

worn a deep groove into the rock underfoot.  At the bottom of a steep

drop to the south, the narrow stone ribbon of the Greened Way moves east

and west along the valley floor.

Edge of a Gorge~
A stand of regal oaks cling to the edge of a steep gorge.  Their gnarled

roots dig into the rocky soil along the lip of the chasm, the ground

suddenly plunging downward toward the rocky floor far below.  A single

tree has fallen, the victim of a recent valley storm, and now lies nearly

horizontal, spanning the gorge.  The trunk itself is wide, and you think

that an agile person could make it across.  A deep, gaping hole signals

where the tree once stood.

you see the tree's roots sticking up out of the ground, while to the west

the tree's branches have found support in the rocky ground on that side

of the gorge.  Below you, you see rocky ground covered with dark,

scrubby bushes and jagged stones.

here, its thick branches and lush green leaves lying on the ground in a

cloud of brown and green.  To the east, you see a profound gorge open up,

everpresent boulders and exposed rock faces are absent here, replaced by

rough vegetation which slows your step.  A pair of holly bushes bars

A Rocky Cliff in the Hills~
The hill drops away to the north, where a rushing stream plummets down a

deep rocky chute between hills.  On the other side, you spy a narrow

trail wind its way across the steep hillside, zigzagging between large

boulders and the thick trunks of pine trees.  To the south of you, a

thick wall of vegetation bars passage.

Clearing in the Hills~
You stand in a rocky cliffside clearing.  Many large boulders lie

scattered about the area, the rocky soil inhibiting the growth of

anything larger than a few tufts of sallow hill grass.  Near the edge of

the precipice to the north you spy several large iron rings which have

been driven into the stone ground.  A few old trees, their trunks covered

by creepers and vines, grow along the southern edge of the clearing.

on the rough floor underfoot, and dim shafts of light reflected off the

murky water creates faint, wavy patterns which appear on the uneven walls

to each side.

Dirt Yard~
You stand in a modest, dusty area encircled by the remains of an aged

wooden fence.  Several parts of the fence having been smashed to flinders. 

Once a large pen for corralling animals, the gaps in the fence render it

useless.  To the east, you spy what appears to be a small shop.

Overgrazed Field~
You stand in a level patch of mossy turf on the floor of the Rua Valley. 

The scattered tufts of grass here are short, little more than stubble

really, and you surmise that the villagers frequently graze their

livestock in the area.  To the west is a section of the town wall, its

stones cracked with age and exposure.

Collapsed Wall~
The woeful condition of the wall to the south reflects the decline

endemic to the valley.  Many of the wall's components have fallen to the

ground or been removed to locations unknown; those few giant stones which

remain have sunken deep into the soft grassy ground beneath your feet.

Corn Field~
You stand in a short, stubbly corn field.  The corn has been harvested of

late, and from the scores of animal tracks crisscrossing the field, the

villagers have apparently turned their animals loose to feed upon the

remains.  Stone buildings block your progress to the north and east.

the south of here.  On the far bank, you spy additional fragments the old

town wall and, in the distance, a range of hills rising up toward the

horizon.

A Dead Spot in the Orchard~
The trees in this area seem to be slowly dying off.  The branches

overhead hold only wilted leaves where healthy apples should grow.  The

area is mysteriously devoid of birds and bugs, and nothing seems to move

in the branches overhead.  You notice pieces of a strange vine scattered

about in the trees.  A large hedge grows to the north and east,

effectively cutting off all attempts to travel in those directions.

Although healthy, the trees are smaller here than in other parts of the

You stand in a small area, between the back of the inn and a high stone

wall.  A small wooden trellis covered with creeping vines grows up the

side of the stone building, while to the south the wall curves around to

meet the building.  To the north a steep cliff rises above your head. 

Underfoot, several small plants grow in neat rows - a small herb garden.

village of Pennan lies a short distance to the west, while the remains of

this small orchard remain entirely on the east side of the small stream

running through the valley.  You notice that the forest has encroached

upon the area once held only by the orchard, and is slowly beginning to

destroy the apple trees in the process.

You stand on the bottom of a gorge, amid scores of jagged rocks and an

almost overwhelming display of vegetation.  All about you, plants vie for

space with one another on the moist ground between the giant boulders and

nearby walls of the gorge.  To the east and west, the craggy walls of the

gorge rise high above you, their towering forms blocking out all but a

thin sliver of sky.  At the top of the gorge, you see a tree trunk which

lies across it, much like a bridge.  To the south of here, a dense tangle

of vegetation chokes the floor of the gorge.  To the north, the canyon

continues.

Apple Tree~
You stand on a stout limb high in an apple tree.  All around you, the

tangled branches and vines of the forest obscure your view - but only

partially.  This tree's great height allows you to look east and see a

sea of green treetops, while to the west you follow the trees as they

lead down a slope toward the bottom of a valley.  A few small houses lie

scattered along the valley floor.

You stand on the peaked roof of a large building.  Close by to the north,

the leering cliff faces of the hills rise above you, while to the south a

second-story window peeks out from the dormer.  A wooden trellis is

attached to the eastern end of ther roof.

Armor Smith's Workroom~
The long tables and benches contain fewer misshapen articles as you

venture into the realm of the jorneyman armourers.  While the trip

hammers and other equipment here look well used, they are all in

excellent shape.  The raised platform is very near now, and you can make

out the glints of precious metals from its general direction.

Master Armor Smith's Platform~
From this raised platform the master observes his domain.  Everyone from

the competent journeymen to the fumbling apprentices is under his

watchfull eye.  Ancient, well worn tools lie in precise places around his

few scattered tables.  Mithril lies in scattered heaps slowly being

formed into intricate pieces of armor.

Scrap metal bins line the walls and various workbenches are set about the

room which stretches back to a raised platform.  Several journeymen and

apprentices work at the benches performing one task or another.  A large

rotating shaft enters the room from the south wall and apparently is used

to drive various trip hammers and drills.

into their basins, provide light for this out of the way corner.

Side Room~
Deep reddish-brown wooden walls, boarded-up windows and only a few wan

sources of light create a dim ambience.  You stand in a medium-sized

chamber, perhaps once a secondary reception room or lobby but now

suffering from neglect.  A large hearth dominates the southern wall, to

the east of the doorway leading to the main chamber of the inn, while an

aged wooden counter protrudes from the eastern wall.  A narrow stairway

leans on the northern wall for support in its climb toward the sleeping

areas.  A dusty sign hangs from the wall.
