Great North Road~
What amounts to little more than a muddy track follows a small stream
through the densely wooded foothills which surround you to the east and
west. The road is not well-maintained, and you have heard of many
stories of travelers waylaid by highwaymen in these parts.

The trail crosses the small stream here and heads up into the hills to the
north of here and follows the stream to the south. Though the trail
itself is clear of trees they do crowd in on the track which is not
particulary well maintained here.

Following along the ridges of the forested hills the trail continues for
many miles northwards and southwards. The trees are a little thinner on
the ridge-tops but there is very little sign of anyone living in these
parts.

Great North Road~
The trail opens up into a tussock plateau here with nothing but tussock
and a small dirt track to the north. To the south the trail drops off
the plateau and into the forested hill slopes. The wind whips across
this high open plateau, making it a cold and miserable place to be.

Great North Road~
The small dirt track that passes for the Great North road here wends and
winds its way across a large plateau of tussock land. The small clumps
of brown grass seem to stretch for miles and do little to relieve the
monotony of the trail.

Tussock and yet more tussock, there is little upon this high mountain
plateau apart from tussock. Though the cold biting wind that whips
across the open land does motivate you to continue if only to escape from
its icy touch.

There is tussock land as far as the eye can see. Nothing more than small
clumps of brown grass. No people, no houses, no farms. Nothing but
tussock land. The only thing that breaks this monotony is the
magnificent range of snow topped mountains to north.

vegetation other than patches of scrub and brush. The road becomes quite
wide here as it heads north and south from here, but this is simply
because there is plenty of room.

The Obelisk~
After many weary miles you have finally reached a fork in the trail.
This junction leads in three different directions: north, west, and south.
Positioned at the point where the three roads converge is a single grey
stone obelisk. At the base of the obelisk is a small wooden @Bsign@n.

This stone is immense, - you would guess several tons heavier than any
giant could hope to lift. It towers over you, reaching some 15' feet in
height, its seven sides covered with many strange runes. Clearly placed
here long ago as a marker, it has weathered many a season at this
crossroads in silence and without complaint.

Mountain Road~
The road gently climbs into the mountains steadily rising. The road
looks well maintained here, there are mile-stones every mile and any
fallen trees have been cleared off the road. Above and below the road on
the mountain slopes is quite a dense forest of pine trees, their tall
straight trunks match the grandeur of this mountainous country.

Mountain Road~
The road continues to wind in and out of gullies as it continues its
remakably steady climb into the mountains and drop onto the plains.
Whoever constructed this road took great care in making the gradient as
constant as possible. The forested slopes of ever-green pine trees fill
the valleys and cloth the slopes in a carpet of green regardless of the
season. The snow covered mountains are very close and the clear mountain
air makes it seem as though you could reach out and touch them.

grow up the slopes, growing shorter and fatter as they get closer to the

The road settles into a almost straight line east to west, sloping up to
the west and descending gently to the east. Loose gravel has been laid
over the packed dirt, providing traction and keeping the road from
turning into a river of mud. The road cuts along the side of a mountain,
with a sharp drop-off south and a rock wall north.

Loose gravel crunches underfoot as the road continues is inexorable way
along the mountains, heading east and west. Gently it slopes west,
towards some spectacularly tall snow-covered mountains. North, the way
is blocked by a rock wall, a result of the road cutting through the side
of the mountain. South is a sharp drop-off, with the tops of small,
stunted pines just visible.

A blot of greyish-brown on the horizon gradually makes its way through

beneath your feet. To the west, a dark patch of bedrock can be seen as a
short cliff rises from the road surface. Snow-crested peaks cradle the
small block of sky above your head like a precious gem, and not a cloud
can be seen marring its jewel-like clarity.

itself through a break in the almost solid wall of conifers, continuing

sloping down gently to the west. Pine cones, needles, and some small
pieces of deadwood litter the road, giving the impressions of disuse and
disrepair.

The fresh smell of the vegetation all around the trail revitalizes your
senses as you continue along this tiresome trek. Thick green leaves and
long stems clutter the ground, making travel a little rugged, as you
attempt to avoid stepping on them. The trail slopes a little up as it
leads westward into more overgrown vegetation. Looking east, you see
that the abundant vegetation has thinned out.

trail, rocks, and plants, giving them a rust colored cast. The trail is
cracked and muddy, forcing slow, careful passage. Far above the trail,
aspens and pines grow thick, clinging to the sparse soil.

Thick, viscous mud covers the trail here as a tiny stream trickles down
from the mountain above. The clear water forms a tiny puddle at the
southern base of the trail. Large lumps of quartz litter the area, sunk
into the rusty red mud. Tiny pine trees, no more than a season old, dot
the muddy area.

The wide dirt trail has narrowed here, as the ground begins to become
rockier and steeper to the west. Thick lines of white, sharp rocks line
the edge of the road. To the north, a wall of evergreens stick up toward
the sky, their tough green needles surviving despite the chill air. To
the south, a small ridge has started to form on the edge of the road, and
the tops of pines below it stick out of the edge of the ridge.

This dirt trail widens as it rises up to the west. A thinning strand of
evergreens grows along the north edge of the mountain road here. Thick
rock rises up just beyond them, as a monolith has jutted out of the
terrain. The road is bordered on the south by a deep ridge, below which
can be seen a forest of pine that grows like a beard around the mountain.

here, and this road was probably modified by people in order to smooth
out the path. South of here the ridge drops off into a forest of pines
far below.

Several pick-axes and wheelbarrows are scattered along the road
suggesting that either new work or upgrades to the road have begun.
Large boulders lie cracked in half in the middle of the road causing you
to have to squeeze past them to continue. Along the road's edges lie
several other small piles of rocks which seem to act as a wall, warning
you of the impending fall if you ever took a step over them.

occasionally rolling down to impede your progress. A bright vein of
sparkling white quartz runs through the road here, covered by various
piles of sand and gravel. Small aspen saplings cling to the shallow soil
near the roadside.

Mountain Road~
Cracked and worn, the old road is in much disrepair. Gravel and rocks
are piled up in scattered mounds along the road, causing you to weave
your way around them or trek over them. Assorted wildflowers grow in the
reddish rocks which line the trail. Large, round lumps of quartz are
scattered along the trail, perhaps having rolled down from the slopes
above.

path on both sides, covered with a few desperately clinging shrubs. High
above the trail, slender trees with white trunks crowd each other out,
reaching for the sun.

uneven with many large piles of gravel on it making it seem as if you are

The road continues through the mountains. To the west, the craggy faces
of the Cairn Mountains rise up, looming over you in a tight cluster about
the great single peak for which the rest of the range is named. To the
east, the undulations of the earth remain great, yet less so, for along
that side of the trail the uplands ebb and mountains become foothills for
a time before rising once again to majestic heights to form the fabled
Dragonspires.

hunkering down upon what is now the northern horizon. The road makes an
abrupt turn to allow travel to the east or south around the massive
outcropping. A ribbon-like band of shadow lines the bottom of the
monolith, an almost gaping wound into the darkness of the earth. A lone
pine tree struggles valiantly to survive, nestled in the hard earth on
the other side of the dusty road from the stony hill. Just inside the
curve lies a lone pine tree, struggling to survive in the hard earth.

This small niche is well protected from the elements. Loose gravel lies
on the floor of the cave, and bits of fur and whitened bones litter the
floor and lean against the wall.

To your east rise the foothills of the Dragonspires, and no progress in
that direction appears to be possible. You can travel either north or

hang thick clumps of rotted, black moss. This entire cavern seems dead -
the scarred stone is like a skeleton, decayed and left hollow like empty,
fleshless ribs. Every thread of moss has died and is rotting away with
the stench of decay. The cavern begins it way up a stall, steep slope
