#26300 Outside the West Gate~ You stand just outside the west gate of Jareth, fabled city of freedom and equality. The Western Road runs west from here into farmlands. To the north is a deep, tangled forest. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 25756 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26301 E credits info~ *Farmlands of Jareth - by Kaan for Dibrova This zone was made as a connector to other zones, a basic filler zone full of low level mobs and eq. DragonSpyre, the Corn Maize, the Sinister Forest, Jher, and Ofingia all connect off this zone on Dibrova. It is not a particularly stand-out zone, but is a decent enough connector zone. Links: 00n, 15e, 32e, 49n, 95s Zone 263 is linked to the following zones: 257 Jareth Main City at 26300 (east ) ---> 25756 ~ S #26301 Western Road~ Just west of you is a fork in the road, which splits northwest and southwest from the main road. East of you is the entrance to the city of Jareth. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26300 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26302 S #26302 Western Fork~ The road forks here, heading north and south, both directions turning west again immediately. It looks as if the northern path heads toward the mountains and some deep forest, while the southern road heads deep into the farmlands outside Jareth. East is the entrance to the city. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26349 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26301 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26304 S #26303 DragonTooth Road~ Currently under construction - comr bsck soon! ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26302 S #26304 Western Road~ The road heads west into the farmlands which feed most of Jareth. Northeast from here, you see the gates to the city of Jareth. To the south begins a long, dusty trail which heads out into a very desolate looking plains area. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26302 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26305 S #26305 Western Road~ The road runs east and west from here, with farmsteads lying to the west. It seems that this road must be a well policed area, judging from the traffic passing you by, all with almost no regard for their safety, as if the last thing on their mind would be that they might be waylaid or attacked. Northeast from here, you see the gates to Jareth, west the road continues toward a large lake and the many farms of this area. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26304 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26306 S #26306 Western Road~ The road runs east and west from here. To the north, a small farm lies nestled in a large pasture. From the smell of it, it must be a dairy farm. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26307 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26305 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26310 S #26307 Dairy Farm~ As you enter through the wood gates which keeps the cows from running away, you realize that if you plan to stay here for any length of time, you will need to watch your step very carefully. A barn lies to your north, to the south is the main Western Road. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26308 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26306 S #26308 Hay Barn~ Aaaahhh-Chooo! The hay from this place makes your eyes itch and your nose run. A few stalls lie along the east wall for milking, and a ladder leads up into the loft. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26307 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 26309 S #26309 Hay Loft~ The hay and dust and heat of this room makes it almost hard for you to breathe. Hay lies stacked neatly on the west side of this room, ready to feed the cows with. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 26308 S #26310 Western Road~ The roads runs east and west throught the many farmsteads of this area. To the west, you see a large lake, and to the south a dirt driveway leads to a large farmhouse. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26306 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26311 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26318 S #26311 Driveway~ This dirt drive leads south to a huge horse farm. This must be where all the horses for the city are raised, bred and sold at market. The drive leads south to the farm itself or you may head north onto the Western Road. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26310 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26312 S #26312 Driveway~ The drive leads south to a large dirt court in front of the home and barn of Girschwyn the Horseman. To the north drive continues until it T's off on the Western Road. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26311 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26313 S #26313 Dirt Court~ This dirt court is used mainly for the loading and unloading of the many fine steeds Girschwyn sells to his customers. A large barn lies to the north, Girschwyn's home lies to the west and the fields lie directly south. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26312 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26314 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26316 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26317 S #26314 Barn~ This huge edifice holds stall upon stall for the many horses Girschwyn and his team of professional stablemen raise and train. To the south is the entrance to the fields, and west leads out into the dirt court. ~ 263 8 0 0 0 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26315 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26313 S #26315 Pasture~ This pasture seems to go on forever. All around you horses graze or sleep, almost all of them seem to be of fine, quality stock. Better watch out, though, if Farmer Girschwyn finds you here, he may get the wrong idea. To the east is a huge field of corn which you may enter into. Be careful, though, it looks like it would be pretty easy to get lost in there. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26314 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26316 S #26316 Pasture~ This field is so immense, you cannot see the end of it to the south. Horses graze or sleep everywhere and anywhere. To the north is the dirt court, and east is more field. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26313 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26315 S #26317 Girschwyn's Home~ This house is not the opulent horse baron's house you would have expected from a rich horse trader like Girschwyn. Instead, it is a comfortable country home, complete with worn couches and an old fireplace, which is currently not lit. The exit from this fine home is to the east. ~ 263 8 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26313 E play~ You punch out an old tune about a boy named Johnny B Good. You rock! ~ S #26318 Western Road~ The road heads east through the many farms of Jareth city limits. To the west is the shore of a huge lake. The path seems to split, heading around the lake in both directions. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26310 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 26319 S #26319 Lake's Edge~ The road splits off here, going it's seperate ways around the lake, one split heading north, one heading south. The trail also heads east through the fertile farmlands of Jareth. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 26336 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26318 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 26320 S #26320 Lake's Edge~ The road heads west and north from here, around the lake. You see a farm to the southwest. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 26319 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 26321 S #26321 Lake's Edge~ The road heads east and west from here. Just west of you, a dock juts out into the lake. Across the road from the dock is farmstead, with rows upon rows of wheat and corn growing in the fields just south of here. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26320 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 26322 S #26322 Lake's Edge at the Dock~ A dock runs out into the water just north of you, most probably used for fishing. Just south of you is a moderate-sized farmstead. The road runs east and west from here. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 26323 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26321 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 26324 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 26328 S #26323 Dock~ This small wooden dock seems just a bit too rickety for you to feel all that comfortable. Doesn't seem to bother Erik, though, the little guy seems perfectly content here, swaying on this old construct. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 26322 S #26324 Farmstead~ This average sized, fenced-in farm yard holds the machinery and animals needed to plow, plant, mow the fields which this farm is responsible for maintaining. South and east of you are wheat and corn fields, respectively. Just west of you is a house. The road is just north of you. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 26322 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26325 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 26326 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 26327 S #26325 Corn Field~ Row upon row of corn surrounds you. The leaves tickle you as you brush by them, the stalks swaying gently with the breeze. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 26324 S #26326 Wheat Field~ Looks as is the wheat crop has already been harvested for this year. The ground, strewn with mud and leaves, looks as if it has seen some large machinery come through lately. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 26324 S #26327 Farm House~ This single story, one room home holds the main dining table, bunks, and cooking facilities for Krandle and all of his farmhands. Looks as if the wheat and corn industry may not be the most profitable one in Jareth. ~ 263 8 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26324 S #26328 Lake's Edge~ The road runs east and west from here, around the lake. A farm lies just southeast of you, to the northeast you see a dock which leads out into the lake. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26322 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 26329 S #26329 Lake's Edge~ The road turns here, heading north and east around the lake. Just north of here, the road splits off from the lake and heads west into the farmlands. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 26330 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26328 S #26330 Lake's Edge~ The road splits here, heading north and south around the lake, but also heading off west into more farmland. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 26331 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 26329 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 26337 S #26331 Lake's Edge~ The road makes a turn, following the lake shore, heading east and south. To the south you see that the road splits away from it's course around the lake and heads west out into farmland. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26332 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 26330 S #26332 Lake's Edge~ The road continues to twist and turn it's way around the lake shore. You may continue north and west from here. Strangely enough, a path seems to lead right into the water, and it looks as if the path continues on into the depths of the lake. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 26333 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 26331 S #26333 Lake's Edge~ The road turns again, running along the lake's edge. You may head east or south from your current locale. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26334 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 26332 S #26334 Lake's Edge~ The road makes another turn here, allowing passage west and south from here. You think you may see a small path leading north throught the high grass and into the forest, but you can't be sure. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26348 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 26335 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 26333 S #26335 Lake's Edge~ The road turns again, heading north and east. The lake you are following along seems quite large, and across on the opposite shore, you think you may see a bit of aqueduct work. This lake is most probably the water source for most of the farmers in the area. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 26334 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26336 S #26336 Lake's Edge~ The road follows the shore of this large lake, twisting and turning as the lake's edge demands. You may head west or south from here. To the south, you see that the road splits away from it's travels around the lake and heads east into the country. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 26319 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 26335 S #26337 Western Road~ The road runs west, heading out of the farmlands and into a more damp climate region. East of you, the road splits, following around a large lake's edge. To the north, you see the last farmstead on this western edge of Jareth's City Limits. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 26338 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26330 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 26342 S #26338 Farm~ The rickety, unpainted wooden fence surrounding this yard looks as if it has seen better days, assuredly. The yard is littered with debris, some of which you probably should not even try guessing it's origin, and the smell - whoa. There is a barn north of here, it's rickety walls barely standing. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 26339 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 26337 S #26339 Smelly Barn~ Better hope you didn't wear you blue suede shoes, pal, because they are now black suede shoes if you did. The amount of excrement piled everywhere in this barn makes keeping your feet clean an impossibility. West of you is a pig yard and east is the chicken yard. South exits into open, clean air. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26340 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 26338 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 26341 S #26340 Chicken Yard~ The yard here is so cluttered with chickens clucking around your feet, you almost trip and fall. All the chickens cluster around you, waiting for you to throw them some seeds. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 26339 S #26341 Pig Wallows~ This disgusting, soupy mess that is called a pig's home is beyond gross. The pigs here roll on their back in shallow puddles, looking as pigs in... Well, you know. Kind of makes you glad you never decided to be a farmer, eh? ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26339 S #26342 Western Road~ The road heads east and west. To your east, Jareth's many farmlands can be entered, leading eventually the city itself. West of you the unknown begins. The land on either side of the road seems to be getting a bit more soft and wet, as if you may be coming into a swampy region. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26337 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 25317 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 26343 S #26343 Western Road~ The road still heads to the east and west from here, however there is a small path leading through some twisty, gnarled trees to your north. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 26345 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26342 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 26344 S #26344 Western Road~ The road runs east to west from you. To the east you can see a few farmsteads dotting the countryside, where the land flattens out and allows for that sort of work to be done. The way west leads toward the ever-present Dragon Tooth Mountains, which seem to surround this whole land. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26343 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 26346 S #26345 Murky Path~ This path does not seem all too dry or friendly, nor do the trees which begin to be more prevalent the farther north you go. The way becomes darker from the trees that seem to close in around the path and your senses scream at you to go back. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 26343 S #26346 Western Road~ Further and further into the mountains you travel, the maples and oaks of the farmlands giving way to evergreens and more versatile shrubbery. The path continues it's way west and east from you and a small offshoot heads south as well. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26344 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26350 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26352 S #26347 Gnarled and Twisty Path~ This zone not yet complete - come again soon! ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 26345 S #26348 Small Dark Path~ The path immediately leaves behind the cheery farmland and lake area to the south, becoming completely enclosed by trees and tall growth. It heads north deeper into the dark forest, but a word to the wise, south looks much more safe and inviting. ~ 263 65 0 0 0 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26334 S #26349 Thinning Trail~ The trail all but disappears almost immediately as you begin your way north toward the forest just ahead. You begin to feel the beginnings of a very bad feeling in your gut, one that can only be described as terror, the kind of terror that only nameless, faceless unknowns can inspire. Your gut tells you that ahead lies trouble, pain, and possibly death. The lake and the farmlands south of you begin to look very friendly through the trees, now. This is your chance to turn back... ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26302 S #26350 Rocky Path~ This is barely sutable to be called a path at all, as you can hardly make it through the jumble of rocks and boulder which litter the way. Just south of you it looks as if the path may come to a dead end. The mountain wall rises alongside you to the east high into the clouds. There is a crack in the mountain face just east of here. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26346 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26301 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26351 S #26351 A Dead End Path~ The path has come to a dead end before a huge boulder set into the side of a tall rocky cliff. The only apparent way out of here is north, the way you came from . ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26350 D2 ~ boulder~ 1 0 26300 S #26352 Western Road~ More and more, evidence of mountain country becomes evident the farther west you travel. The road is now more loose stones and pebbles scattered over large rocks and boulders rather than the hard packed dirt that was the road back in the farmlands. You see that the road crosses a natural bridge to the west, both sides of the road sloping steeply down in forestlands. There have been no rails erected so you probably should watch your step. And watch for loose gravel! ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26346 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26353 S #26353 Western Road~ You stand at the eastern end of the long natural bridge that spans either side of a deep, dark forest. A forest who's floor lies close to five hundred feet below where you now stand. The way to the west looks precarious, at best, the east looks much more safe. Do you REALLY think you need to go west? ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26352 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26354 S #26354 Western Road~ You stand on this sliver of rock jutting up from the forest floor, the road just wide enough for one cart. You look to either side and try and suppress the shiver that threatens to run through your body and knock your balance off kilter. Of course, most of the terror you feel is in your head, you have a good three feet of width, you still feel very uneasy about your current location and situation. Amazingly, you see that there is some sort of trail leading down the north and south sides of the cliff, way down deep into the dark forests below. You would have to be insane to try and climb down that 'trail'! ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26600 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26353 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26355 S #26355 Western Road~ You stand high above the rest of the world, or so it seems, standing here on this jut of rock that rises up from the forests below. To the east the rock walkway heads toward safe, lush ground which heads toward Jareth's farmlands. To the west the walkway leads you deeper into a mountainous region, a region which is, to your knowledge, largely unexplored. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26354 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26356 S #26356 Western Road~ Just west of you is solid, safe ground, but here, where you now stand, is definately NOT solid safe ground. You stand on a tall rock walkway which spans between two cliff faces roughly five hundred feet apart. The walkway runs east toward the far face which seems lush with vegetation and life. The western face, which you stand very close to now, seems to be the exact opposite of the eastern face. Jumbled rock and scree litter the ground near the walkway's start, but no trace of greenery can you see anywhere. Looking down, you see that the walkway spans over very large and very dark forests, one on either side. Caution might be advised when crossing this bridge. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26355 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26357 S #26357 Western Road~ You stand at the western-most end of a narrow rock walkway which spans the length of a huge dark forest, miles beneath it's top. It looks safe enough for crossing, but caution might be a good idea when attempting to traverse this precarious bridge. ~ 263 0 0 0 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26356 S $~
