Entryway to the Carnation Dump~
To the east stands a large iron gate.  It has obviously guarded this dump

for many years.  In all directions except east you you see many piles of

items.  Directly north a small heap of items that have just arrived and

are in no way sorted, lie scattered on the ground.  West you see a path

that winds it way through the piles and off in the distance to a small

shack.

~
[Kiian] if it is obvious you don't need to say so

[Kiian] might want to adjust name of dump to fit more along lines of medienne/human society

east gate iron large~
A large iron gate closes off the dump from the rest of the world.  As you

take a closer look, the bars and spikes that top the structure appear to

be made of old forks and spoons.  The rusty hinges moan as a gust of wind

leans on the face of the gate.  The latch of the gate looks new.  It

still has a new grime free surface, and looks reliable, more than the

gate itself.

Between the Piles of Garbage~
Piles of moldy papers and worn shoes lie haphazardly all around you

making it difficult to pick your way past.  There is an unusually large

pile of dead horses and unidentifiable animal carcasses blocking your

path north.  As you saunter past the foul pile, something catches your

eye as it scampers under a partially decomposed severed head.

stack horses carcasses~
From the look of this heap, you estimate there to be at least

twenty-three corpses in the pile.  Horses of every breed appear to be

represented in one rotting maggot infested way or another.  Moldering

corpses of forgotton pets are mixed into the pile as well.  A brown and

black hunting dog, a large cat and a partially eaten green pseudo-dragon

lie near the edges of the heap.

Among The Heaps~
The small path between the towering putrid piles seems tighter here as

the piles lean haphazardly towards you.  Continuing your trek in any

direction will be difficult, not to mention smelly because piles of

rotting trash surround you in every direction.  The southern exit is

completely cut off by a rustling mound of dry leaves and branches.

Near the Turnaround~
Slightly away from the initial dumping sites, where the freshest piles of

rubbish lay, you stand in an open space.  The ground is striated with

wheel marks from the varied carts used to transport the garbage to its

final resting place.  Looking off to the south you can see only splinters

of sky past the towering heaps of refuse.

Dead End~
Somewhere behind the multiple piles of trash, you can see a vine-covered

brick wall.  A pile of leaves to your right rustles and appears to be

moving.  Peeking around it you spy a small white mouse scurrying into a

hole in the wall's mortar.

A Smelly Pile of Rubbish~
The growing stench of rotting debris fills your nostrils, causing you to

gag and choke.  The curving path winds itself to the north and east,  

there is also a clearing visible to the south.

As your nose slowly becomes accustomed to the stench, you begin to see

that the piles of broken bottles and soiled rags is really quite charming. 

Oddly enough it seems that someone has been trying to salvage and recycle

some of the articles.  A slightly worn tapestry is draped over a nearby

heap, giving the dump a little warmth and personality.

Piles of Glass~
This dead end looks more like a room with walls made of discarded jars,

broken goblets and bits of shattered window.  It appears that the glass

was at one time seperated by color, but it has now merged to form a

rainbow of sorts.  Dust and scratches have dulled many of the pieces but

the piles are still a pleasant change from the omnipresent filth and mold

in the rest of the area.

Amidst the junk and moldering bits of food, you stumble upon a great

collection of valubles.  In every corner of this area is filled with

silverware, every style and every pattern seems to be represented.  A few

even appear to be of the last century.  Long scrape marks trail from

behind one box that is sitting in front of you.  A large sign on a wooden

post has been driven into the ground here.

Trash is piled everywhere, most of it extremely fresh and squishy. 

Leaning against one of the more moderately sized piles is a torn painting

of a fair but rather portly woman.  Next to it lie a few broken chairs

with worn cushions and broken arms.  A burlap sack sits on one of them as

if it were a living being.

This sack is made of a coarse brown burlap.  Its seams are strained and

leaking out of it onto the brocade chair cushion.  A large hole has been

purposes other than holding trash.

torn painting woman~
There is a large rip that starts at the womans left eye and continue down

to about the middle of her right leg.  Ignoring the tear, the woman

portrayed here appears to be in her mid thirties.  The painting as a

of fine art.

A stack of broken chairs towers here with their wooden arms hanging limp

and splintered on either side of their seats.  Stuffing is popping out

from between the seams of the cushion's worn cover.  Every piece of

furniture here is in a terrible state of disrepair.  There is little hope

of resurrecting any of the pieces, even if brought to the best furniture

repair shop.

untouched.  You can hear the distant shriek of a rat who got too close to

a creeping vine, or could it be something much worse down this southern

alley?

You have reached the far northeast corner of the Terr'kaa dump.  From the

looks of the tracks in the dirt, a few carts still seems to come here on

a regular basis.  A rather large heap of horse dung sits here, drying in

the sun.  Consisting of mostly digested hay and grass, this dung gives

off a rather aromatic perfume.

Heap of Rusted Metal~
Further to the west, you can see an old ramshackle structure.  Your

progress in that direction is hindered by a large heap of rusted weaponry. 

Broken swords, dull daggers and bent maces jut out at you from every

possible direction.  Attempting to climb this massive pile of metal would

be futile, not to mention that the chance of contracting gangrene is

incredibly high.  You have no choice to turn back to the way you 

came.

Sharp metal points from swords jut out at you from every possible angle. 

Looking at the pile, you think you see a way of climbling the wobbly

monstrosity without severe injury.  A few maces lie parallel to one

another making a rickety step, a pace away from it is another step

consisting of two rusty swords.  With luck, climbing this heap should be

no problem what so ever, or so you think.

The Alley of Shrieks~
Continuing to the west is a clean, litter-free alley.  Looking to the

north you can see the path that leads back towards the main dumping areas. 

This area is oddly empty compared to to the rest of the dump.  Even the

uncobbled path appears clear of any marks.

Looming around you are multiple hulking piles of old chicken bones and

hordes of lint balls.  As a small breeze passes through, a renegade ball

of lint rolls crazily on the ground.  It finally stumbles and falls into

a stagnant puddle, where it slowly sinks into the muck.

The Hall of Grime~
Tidy is not a word that will be used to describe this place anytime soon. 

Pieces of broken bowls and plates are scattered everywhere.  A few of

them are still covered with a dried gruel-like substance.  A grey piece

of material sits partially covered by a grimy plate.  This moderately

repulsive trail continues to the west.

are clearly rusted and peeling.  What would be considered the shacks

Considering that the dump is not the most sanitary place, this hallway is

from it, leaving only the fine flour-like dust.

Looking up, you cannot see much of the outside world through the hole

above you.  The smell of rat droppings wafts from all directions but up. 

Faint scratching noises can be heard from the north and south.  The low

ceiling of this tunnel makes it difficult to move, not to mention that

the poor air quality is making you feel light headed and woozy.

All of the trees in this area appear to be made of crystaline ice.  Soft

tinkling can be heard as a crisp breeze passes through their branches and

leaves.  A small path winds its way through the dense growth to the east,

west, and north.  Two large boulders sit on either side of the path to the

south as if guarding it.

back to ice and axes shutting off the exit.

As you stare up at the ice trees, you notice a deep axe cut in one of

them.  No mortal could have made such an impressive chop in the hard

surface of the bark.  Especially because the bottom of the chop is almost

15 feet from the ground and there are no branches one could use as foot

holds up to that point.  The trail splits in all of the cardinal

obscures the bottom of the canyon.  Due to the thick grey mist that

swirls 15 feet below it makes guaging the drop impossible

The first 5 feet downwards appear to be plentiful in hand and foot holds. 

Beyond that the holds peeter out into a few sparce roots and stone

protrusions.

thick grey mist sqirl swirls~
This thick grey fog blankets the canyon in a visually non-penetratable

tarp.  The fall from here could be a short drop or a horrible damaging

plummet.

A Sheer Cliff~
Looking up there appears to be few hand holds to assist your climb back

up to the cliff edge.  The only exit is to the east into a smally b gully.

crystaline tree stumps sit decappitated in the center of the clearing. 

planted carefully betwene the stumps is a small table sutable for placing

one's coffe or pastery down on for a nice tea time break.

crystaline trees stumps decappitated~
Something has sawn off the se trees at the base.  Leaving n about 1.5

feet of trunk pertruding from the ground.  In the middle of the stump

circle is a carefully crafted table made of brances and leaves of the

surrounding trees.

~
E
carefully crafted table~
About 10 branches have been bound together in the middle and them evenly

positioned into an asteriks formation.  Small flat crystaline leaves have

been layd over the top of it for a smooth surface.  The feet f this table

have been expertly carfved.  Each of which look resective le like a bear,

a deer and an opossum standing on their hind legs balancing the tabletop

on their heads.

To the south, the ice covered path takes a sharp turn right and from

there dissapears into the distance.  The trees grow densly along the edge

of the path, as if afraid of intruding into its borders.

In a Gully~
A small amount of water has gathered in the ditch making the ground moist

and squishy.  The climb up the cliff from here looks a dergee lsess

steep, except for the mudh the climb should be problem free.

The trees appear to have be as conjoined twins.  Their trunks have fused

together in places making them appear more of a treetopped wall than

individual trees

The Shimmering Forest~
Eventhough seemingly impossible, the trees have grown up from the ground

at a ridged 90 degree angle to the ground and impacted themselves up

agains one another forming a formidable wall on either sid of the path. 

To the north, the trees appear to be a tad more relaxed and spaced out,

while to the south the monotony of squished trees continues around the

bend.
