A paved path~
   You are standing at the edge of the city.  From here, a short, 
paved path leads toward the east.  To the northeast is a large building, 
its yard lined by an old fence of stone.

   This is a modest zone with about 65 rooms.  It is a little forest,
maybe east of Midgaard.  The area was originally written for low-level
(say 1-10) players.

Before a small gate~

the fence.  A sign has been fastened on the gate, reading "Galeaufir's
Tavern".  A brown path leads to the east, toward light forest.

A grassy ditch~
   You are standing on a grassy bottom of the ditch, seemingly trampled.  
Low bushes grow around.  The ditch leads west, while there is a grove to 
the east.

Walking in the ditch~

south you can see a grassy hillside, on where a narrow path descends.  
The ditch leads west and east.

Through some bushes~
   You are struggling at a thicket, disturbed by several multicolorous 
spiders and gadflies.  Most of these bushes are unusually tough, lashing 
your face with an unpleasant force.  There is a small ditch to the south.

The brink of the grassy hillside~

to descend gently.  Below there lies what appears very dense forest.
To the north is a ditch.

Walking on the trunk~
   You move forward, keeping your balance quite easily since the trunk 
is so broad.  It seems that many smaller trees remained under when this 
giant overturned years ago.
   Now, there lies the rhizome.  The roots appear to give passage to 
the south.

A narrow path~
   You step on a narrow path, engraved deep in the ground.  Several 
stones make your walking quite difficult, and you are worried about 
your feet.  The foliages form a green and inpenetrable "wall" around 
the path which seems to descend to the east.

an ancient trench.  Tremendous, gnarled roots from some brown and black
arches above.  The path leads both to the west and east.

An ancient crater~
   You find yourself standing at a vast and deep pit, obviously an 
ancient crater with a diameter of 30 metres, at least.  The bottom is 
covered in brownish grass and there are several rough boulders around, 
most of them black.  Also you notice that the crater is full of small 
folk, everyone directing towards a structure of some kind further away 
to the east.

At the crater~
   With the brownies you start approaching the structure as well.
It looks like a wooden dais, on where a couple of beings are sitting, 
deep in their discussion.  Behind them there stands what could be a 
totem or a statue of some kind.  Yet you do not know what this all is 
about, but no doubt this place must be of great importance and sanctity 
for these people.

The Ceremony Plateau~
   The dais has been grinded very smooth.  Four green pictures cover 
its surface, representing fine trees.  Each picture points to the sepa-
rate cardinal direction.  In the middle of the dais stands a tall, wooden 
statue, resembling an impressive woman, clad in clothes made of large 
leaves and garments.
   The brownies assemble to the foot of the dais and you feel the
atmosphere running high.

statue woman~
   The statue is of light wood and appears very skillfully carved.  The woman it
presents has a tall lenght of straight hair almost reaching her legs.  Worn on
her head is a crown made of the most beautiful flowers, barely found in every
forest.  Couple of small birds are sitting on her shoulders, seemingly listening
earnestly.  This must be the Queen of the forest herself.
