A small closet~
 Hmmm... looks like a closet, smells like a closet... your guess is: You
are in a closet.  There is a dim glow coming from a door in front of you
that is open enough to provide light, and maybe for you to squeeze through.

Welcome to Aurealan Realms! The door north (simply type: north) will
take you through our introduction area.  If you are already familiar with
Circle-type MUDs, use the narrow doorway leading east to bypass this area.

Again, Welcome!  We hope you like what you see, and enjoy your stay!

The end of a rough-cut hallway~
 The hallway comes to an end here.  To the west, you can see the way you

 This office seems rather businesslike, almost severe in it's lack of any
type of warmth or decoration.  There is a desk here, over which floats a
%b%3large, glowing sign%0.  To the north, you see a bare, spartan chamber,
while to the south, you see what appears to be a war room of some type.

A War Room~
 This room appears to be some form of war room.  In the center of the
room lies a huge map of the realms, with the names of the various places
inscribed as indicators.  There is a %b%3large, glowing sign%0 against the
south wall, and doorways leading north, west and east out of the room.

 %b%3This room is one of the last here, and it's purpose it to provide you
with a look at the overall geography of the realms, and to give you a brief
look at how magic works in the realms, being such a vital part of the land.
The Matron Mother of the drow is here to (under protest) tell you about
these things.  To find out about the lay of the land, type: %7tell mother

Swirling Mist~
 This room is full of a swirling, %b%5lavender%0 mist, making it impossible
for you to see what is inside it.  You can see a %b%3large, glowing sign%0 clearly
through the mists, but barely make out three other things.  There is a shadowy
figure standing near the back wall, and exits leading to the south and west.

%2A faint trail through the %B%2light forest%0~
You are walking upon a small path along the edge of the forest, with
the plains and farmlands to your east and thicker growth of trees to
your west. You note the various trees along your path, an oak here,
ash there, occasionally you see a cherry tree. The sound of the forest
is soothing and calm, and the plantlife looks to be in good health.
This path continues south, while to the north, it adjoins a road.

%2A small path on the edge of the %B%2light forest%0~
The path here is still faint, but not so much now, and you see the reason
is that animals seem to frequent this trail, perhaps drawn by the tender
shoots of plants along the edges. Trees continue to partially screen your
view of the open terrain to the east, while their thick growth in the west
prevent serious passage in that direction. Up above, through the light
cover of leaves, the sky can be seen. To north and south, the dirt trail
you are on continues.

%2Upon a small path in the %B%2light forest%0~
More signs of animal tracks abound at your feet, occasionally glimpsed
in bare spots not covered by shoots, bushes, and forest-floor detritus.
Deer hoofprints are the most evident, but occasionally you recognize
marks left by foxes and birds. The leaves overhead provide dappled shade
in the day, a soothing cool relief from the sun. By night, however, they
cut off much of the light of the moons and stars, casting darkness upon
the forest.

%6At a small pond %2somewhere in the %B%2light forest%0~
You've come upon a small pool of clear water amidst a small clearing in
this lightly forested area. The water looks clean, and you can see tiny
minnows darting to and fro along the pebbly grey bottom, venturing from
a small copse of watercress to another. Reeds grow right up to the edges
of this pool, and behind them are trees. Only the path north is clear.
To the west, through some trees, you catch a glimpse of another clearing.

%3A small clearing %2in the %B%2light forest%0~
You come across a campfire burning softly in a circle of stones here in
the very center of a small clearing in the forest. It is somewhat dim here,
your view of the sky partially blocked by the canopy overhead. However, the
feeling you have in your heart is not one of fear and claustrophobia, but
rather one of peace and ease. A piece of meat roasts on a stick balanced
between rocks over the fire. A large handwoven blanket lies spread out to
one side of the campfire, it's earth tones blending easily with the ground.
