The Edge of the Forest~
You are standing at the end of a dusty road, near the eastern edge of the
large forest of Haon-Dor. To the east you see the road heading back to the
walled city, Midgaard, and to the west is a narrow trail leading through the
forest.

approach, leaving you alone and swaying slightly with the wind. To your north
you can see a small log cabin through the trees, and to the southeast there
seems to be some sort of clearing, with many birds circling above it.

Midway to the Top of the Large Oak~
You are in a huge oak, about midway to the top. The branches above you
block out much of the light, but enough filters through for you to see. A few
birds have remained to watch you from the fringe branches, well out of your
reach. Scratches mar the tree here, and torn bark is scattered near you on the
branch. It would seem some large forest cat lives nearby, so you had better be
careful! You can continue a bit farther up the tree, or descend to limbs that
don't sway so much.

Above you the tree narrows farther, but it still looks like you could climb up
there. A feline shape is pacing about above you, trying to get to a large
wounded bird. Perhaps you should try to see what sort of cat this is before
you interrupt it's hunt...it might eat you instead of the bird.

High in the Large Oak~
The tree top gently sways in the wind, and you think you are as high as you
can safely go in the tree. The limbs here show evidence of a small battle, with
ripped bark and loose feathers scattered everywhere. Looking around, you can
see the forest stretching out below you in all directions. To the east you see
Midgaard, and to the south the river runs through a deep chasm. North and west
of here you can see another small village, and on the western horizon you see a
large mountain.

nortwest of you is a small cabin and a large pile of wood. Far to west the
treetops form a tight canopy, blocking out almost all sunlight and your view.
It is said that large wolves live there. You've also heard rumors of horrible
spiders and drow living there. You'd be best off leaving that area to more
experienced adventurers.

E
mountain range northeast~
A long mountain range stretchs across the horizon to the north and northeast.
You have heard rumors of many different sorts of creatures living there,
varying from Dwarves and Humans to Ogres and various humanoid creatures. Some
say that evil Dark Elves dwell in the underworld deep below the lands of the
Dwarves. The caves of Moria also are found there, peopled by all sorts of
evil creatures.
~
E
river chasm~
To the south you see a river flowing roughly from the northeast to the west.
It emerges from a dark opening in the side of a mountain and flows through
Midgaard, and on into the forest. It has eroded a deep chasm in the soft stone
under the forest floor, and is not visible for long after it enters the forest
proper.
