Theatre Entrance~
On this side of the entrance doors is a huge wooden arch walkway leading

to the arena of the theatre complex.  Poster advertisements announcing

the shows that have played at the theatre decorate the sides of the walls. 

Old candlesticks on the walls keep the otherwise dark walkway lit. 

Painted on the ceiling is a fluffy cloudscape, but some of the paint

appears chipped revealing its age.

This end of the tunnel appears to be the admission area.  A cracked

wooden @Csign@n hangs from a chain above the entrance.  The wooden walls

are made of a heavy, slightly weathered oak that has very few knot holes.

Fewer posters line the walls here and are also rather weathered and faded

from a long life of being stuck to a wall.

Little pieces of grass stick up occasionally through the dirt and gravel. 

The platform to the north is easier to see from this part of the

audience, but the detail on the stage cannot be made out at this distance. 

There are many footprints on the dingy ground as if many people have been

here before.

You stand in the center of the entire theatre.  The audience's pit is

very large and must be able to fit an insane number of people in here.  A

little bit of dirt kicks up on your legs as you walk through the pit.. 

Several bits of trash litter the ground around your feet as if the place

hasn't been cleaned in years.

The expanse of dirt and gravel continues in all directions.  Off to the

upper class.  The platform stage to the north looks like it could be used

for a number of purposes including performances of prose, plays, and

music.

Dirt and gravel cover the ground of the theatre.  The dirt is a reddish

a platform far to the north, but it is very difficult to see from this

leading up to a gallery of seats.

The stage is made of several wooden planks that extend from the wall of

feet higher from the pit, it seems much higher.  To the north is a

curtain leading to the back of the stage area.

[Finius] add that if you try to go south, "Your anima prevents you from

jumping off the stage to the dirt floor below" or somthing like that.

Before the Stage~
You stand directly in front of the east side of the stage.  However, it

is so tall that it is very difficult to see anything on the stage.  The

wall behind the stage seems to tower above your head about fifty or sixty

feet.  Seating galleries lie to the east and west, and more standing room

lies to the south.

West Gallery~
Seats in the West Gallery appear to be about five feet higher than the

standing room in the pit before the stage.  The height advantage provides

for a much better view of the platform stage...  even if it is far away. 

For the most part the floor is clean, but every few feet you spy a piece

of trash.

Holes about the size of a copper piece seem to infest the roof above you

some sort of tapping sound as if something is trying to dig or poke its

door and south towards more rows of benches.

Pieces of various colored broken glass make a crunching noise as you walk

brightly and hypnotically in the flicker of the hooded lanterns on the

can be seen, but the letters are too small to be read from this distance.

smashed into little bits and pieces of wood.

On a higher plane than the northern room, the view would be spectacular

Backstage~
Several piles of wood are stacked against the wall ready to be used in

the construction of sets for the stage.  Some of the pieces are

rectangular in nature, but others are shaped oddly like trapezoids and

parallelograms.  Little tiny wood chips lie scattered on the floor.

Backstage~
Pieces of old sets lean against the walls of this tall and long backstage

the costumes are ripped, but they appear to be sturdy enough to wear

again.  At the bottom of the racks are little wooden wheels fashioned

like wagon wheels.

A tall staircase, pounded out of sheets of steel, spirals up to a

circular hole in the ceiling.  As the staircase enters the hole in the

Before the Face of a Cliff~
A craggy rock cliff stands before you and blocks your travel towards the

east.  Several rocks and holes adorn the face of the cliff and makes it

look perhaps climbable.  However, the cliff looks very tall and

treacherous.  Scaling this wall of rock would be quite a chore.

cliff rocks holes~
The cliff stands several dozen feet high and is very craggy and rough.  The

protruding rocks are few and far in between, but the cliff looks like it

has an adequate number of footholds.

Faint Path Through the Hills~
The path is very faint and almost invisible.  Tall grass extends from the

ground and makes walking very strenuous even to the most experienced

adventurer.  You notice that some of the tall grass has recently been

trodden on towards the east.  The path continues up the hill to the east

towards a cliff.
