parchment~
Taking a close look at the parchment you see all kinds of symbols and words
that just don't make any sense to you at all. You think that maybe if you
were to recite them something wonderful might happen, cause you get the
feeling they may be a spell of some sort. Down near the bottom of the scrap
there is a passage that has what looks to be a translation written
underneath it. It says: In the world there are many forces, among some of
the more powerful of these forces are Order and Chaos. Order stagnates and
kills itself, while Chaos destroys with randomness till all is gone. Both
are dead-ends in and of themselves, but when joined the can create new and
wonderful things.

Entrance to the Vale~
~
~
Exiting the arch you walk into a large vale full of lush trees. You can
hear birds singing and creatures roaming around between the trees. A small
trail leads off to the east towards what looks to be a large fortress
astride a small pass. Ahead of you the vale continues in it's full splendor
and behind you the arch leads back to the path. A large sign is posted on
one of the trees and demands your attention.

abound. All you can see around you is browns and greens. All around you
you can here the sounds of the local wildlife, you even manage to catch a
glimpse of a deer as it bounds back deeper into the vale. To the south a
small trail can been seen leading in an east-west direction.

the city no one has managed to destroy this wonderful glade. It makes you

your north and west huge trees with massive trunks form a barrier that is
filled in only by the underbrush. You most definately cannot make your way
through them. Over to the east you can see one tree rising high above all
the rest. In the distance you can hear a bird call as it flys off looking
for food.

are left imprinted in the damp earth. Off to the east you can hear a small
stream gurgling pleasantly away. You think you see a trail through the

You follow a small game trail to the east. Looking ahead you can see it

sight. Over to the east you can see the top of the big tree that rises
above all the rest.

the jungle of trees and undergrowth.

come upon a small glade dominated by probably the biggest tree you've ever
seen. Taking a look around you notice that there seems to be a noticeable
lack of any creatures around here. Upon closer examination of the tree you
see a small trapdoor right above your head.

~

Here on the eastern side of the vale all the normal things you've been
seeing once again burst forth. Trees are as plentiful as dirt and shrubs
even more so. You see a small form fly by at great speed and fail to
identify it before it gets lost in the foilage of a tree. Off to your east
the ground becomes rocky and almost mountainous, lacking any trees and all
but a few scrawny shrubs. To the north the path turns into a road and
continues towards the fortress.

the trunks of the trees. Upon your arrival they scatter to the other parts
of the vale. Looking to the north more large trees and large quantities of
underbrush form an impassible barrie. While to the east a huge cliff rises
up towards the heavens and it's sheer face offers you no purchase for
climbing.

undrebrush and dead branches abound, effectively blocking off that direction
as well. Though from behind all the underbrush and branches you seem to
hear a low rumbling noise.

Off to either side of the road the terrain turns rocky and mountainous before
the cliffs block all passage entirely.

Mostly rocks and sand are all that thrive here except for the single shrub
that has attached itself to the cliffwall and seems to eek out a pathetic
existance. To both the north and the east the walls of the cliffs rise up
blocking any progress in those two directions.

preventing any progress in those directions.

Looking up you can see there is no chance of climbing the sheer faces of the
cliffs and decide the only direction you can continue on is fowards.
Looking ahead you can see the fortress rising up almost as high as the
cliff, at the gates the two guards stand around idly looking bored.

of the fortress can use as a fallback position and to kill many attackers in

boiling oil or pitch is usually poured down on the unsuspecting beseigers,
just looking at it gives you the chills and makes you want to move past this

use. When you walked in the guards that were playing cards at the small
table and laughing ceased all such merriment so as to stare at you. It
makes you feel kind of uneasy, maybe you're not welcome here.

lead in the four cardinal directions.

The courtyard~

Wander around the courtyard looking at the different people that pass you
by. It seems that here in the courtyard anyone at all can mix and mingle
with anyone else from the fortress with little or no thought for any
social rank. Nobles talk and haggle with traders while guards instead of
shooing beggars away give them a small coin or two. Farther north is the
entrance to what looks to be a small alcove, while to the east, you can
hear the sounds of a smithy hammering away.

Laughter and singing can be heard floating from the open doorway.

This is the center of the courtyard. Situated here is a large fountain.
In the middle of the fountain is a statue of a man riding a tall charger
with an upraised sword. Around the fountain are a number of benches that
you can take a seat on and rest for a while. To the north lies the smithy,
the south is the tavern and the stables, while the east is the entrance to
the fortress itself. And back west is the entrance to the courtyard.

anvil being assisted by a number of apprentices is Asgorn, the Smithy. Over

gather troops so as to mass an attack on whatever lies on the other side.
The only way to know is to enter it and find out.

You continue foward down the hall, following the plush red carpet leading
up to the double doors ahead of you. Looking ahead you can see the massive
doors are closed. A pair of guards stand sentry on either side of the doors
watching your progress.

Before the double doors~
~
~
Whew! You've made it to the doors after traversing the long hallway.
The guards stand on either side of the doors looking you over from head to
toe. Their eyes stop for a moment on your weapons and they get a dangerous
glint to them. The doors are closed so you cannot see what is beyond them.

The entrance to the throne room~
~
~
Passing thru the doors you enter the great throne room belonging to the
Lord of the fortress. Up ahead of you you can see the Lord seated in his
throne and discussing something with his Lady. All around you servants
scurry about taking care of the needs of the few nobles walking around.
Over in a corner an ambassador from a foreign land has cornered a Baron and
is grilling him looking to form an alliance.

The throne room~

A number of banners decorate this wall here. Under each banner is a
small plaque telling from what clan/enemy the banner was taken, along with
when and where the battle occured. A servant scurries up and asks you if
you wish for any refreshment while you study the various trophies.

The throne room~

You continue to wander around the throne room taking in the number
pictures hanging on the walls. Here in this corner a number of portraits
hang. From the dress and stature of each portrait you would assume they
were the previous Lords here. Under each portrait hangs a small plaque
giving the name of the person and the dates of their rule.

The throne room~
~
~
In this corner of the throne room a small pedestal stands. It is
illuminated by a small glowing light the hovers in mid-air and resist all
attempts to budge. On the pedestal an unrolled parchment rests under glass.
Taking a look at the parchment you can see it's the original deed to the
land upon which this fortress is situated on.

The throne room~
~
~
You stand before the steps leading up to the throne. Looking up you can
get a better look at the man who calls himself Lord of this place. He is a
large man bearing a scar down the side of his face. He wears a dark armor
and an open-faced helm wreathed in shadows. At his side a short sword is
sheathed yet gives off a low hum. Seated in a throne that is slighter
smaller but similiar to the Lord's the Lady of the Fortress sits and watches
as the commotion you have caused in her court.

The throne room~
~
~
Over in this corner you see a Baron has been cornered by an ambassador
from a strange land. Looking the pair over you find the ambassador the more
interesting of the two. The baron looks much like any other pompous
nobleman of the land, but the stanger has some interesting weapons and
armor. You wonder if you could maybe engage him in a conversation on the
differences between the weapons here and from where he comes from?

The great throne~
~
~
You stand directly before the great throne. Sitting in the throne is the
Lord of the Fortress. Directly next to the throne rests a small one upon
which the Lady of the Fortress has seated herself. As you stand there
before the rulers of this place they look you over taking in everything
about you. You feel as if they're reading your lifes history just by
glancing at you.

South of the city~
~
~
Walking past the gates you enter a wooded area. All around you trees
thrust up into the air reaching for the sun. You can hear the sounds of
many of the local wildlife rooting around in the trees looking for lunch or
maybe looking for each other to make the other lunch. The path continues to
the south.

Following the path~
~
~
You continue your walk down the path. Looking around you can see the
forest thickening. Taking a closer look at the path you can see many
footprints all headed south but none going back the other way. You wonder
what thats all about. Back to the north you can still make out the gate
leading to the city, while to the south you can see the path continuing.
There is also a well-travelled path leading eastwards from here...

An arch of trees~
~
~
Large piles of lumber line the path here, as a previously hidden road
stretches south. Gazing southward, you hear the sounds of people talking
and see what appear to be small huts. To the east an archway made of trees
stands giving you a view of a beautiful wooded vale. The trees have grown
so thick, they almost blot out the sun

This well-travelled path leads eastwards, winding between the southern forest
and the mighty walls of Methidoral. Althought the path is rather hidden, it has

his attention throughout the ages. At the moment though his entire
attention is centered on you.
