The Lane~
   You are strolling along a pleasant, shady lane.  The road is lined on both
sides by tall, stately trees which lend the scene with a sense of quiet
serenity.  You can follow the road north or south.

The Turning Point~
  The trees stand close here, and the tall, bushy undergrowth prevents you
from seeing far in any direction save north, where a broad lane leads off into
the distance; and west, where the same lane continues towards what looks like
a fairly large city.  The muted sounds of city commotion reach your ears from a
distance; stray dogs barking, children crying, and street salesmen shouting.
  A steep path leads down from here towards the Dwarven Village.

City Entrance~
   You stand on the outskirts of a large city - Midgaard; the capital of this
land.  The road leads east into the peace and quiet - and dangers - of the
forest; and to the west it becomes the main street of the town; surrounded by
a confusion of shops, bars, and market places.

City Dump, to the forest of Miden'Nir (Goblinic for Green Blood).  You can
