WHOOSH! A whirlpool sucks you down and spits you out!
You see the city to the east, with Redferne's castle above,
teeming with all sorts of life. The ocean is alive!
You wonder about the creatures below.

The Gnome Outpost~
You see a well-built outpost made of snow
that actually seems cozy with a small fire
in the middle keeping the place warm. The walls while
undecorated are clean and well-kempt, though you think
to yourself "Who'd want to live out here?"
The only exist you see is to the north.

last pot pie you ate a while back is getting
revenge on you now. The walls are smooth,
with finger holes for you to hang on to.
Down there seems to be flooring to stand on to,
with the passage to return to the surface.

The Center Chamber~
Before you is the gnome city called Little Haven.
It's bustling, with cheery little folk who seem
dwarven in ancestry and yet look upon you with
a little suspicion. The tunnels are vast, and from this
vantage point you can see the huge fortress way
in the distance. You have a long way to go.

predictable. The passage is human-sized, not gnome,
with unidentifiable inscriptions on the walls.

than anywhere else, with torches at each

There is no physical escape from here.

tables for a thousand warriors. You hear

trim that reads "LITTLE HAVEN." The rest of this place
seems to be made of glass, giving it an almost mirror-like
quality. The gnomish runes are inscribed as well
as a few you understand: that of the Snow Queen.
There is a giant key hole here, but it looks well
worn by the snow and wind. You feel the heat
