Shadowy Forest - Fog-Covered Trail~
Dozens of dark trees overhang this small trail here; their massive

branches nearly blocking the way.  Dry leaves are scattered about the

dark earth causing a cracking sound to echo throughout the woods

everytime you step.  A dense fog rolls across the path, swirling and

spiraling up everytime a small breeze blows through the trees.  Despite

the thick fog the trail to the north is free from it, giving you a clear

view out of the forest.  To the south the trail continues through the

winding trees, heading into darkness.

Shadowy Forest - Fog-Covered Trail~
The fog here is unnaturally thick making it difficult to see your

surroundings.  Large, dark trees line the path here and while most of

them stand erect, a few have become weak and started leaning over the

path, causing you to duck beneath them to continue on.  Peering through

the fog you can occasionally see a small, dark shape moving through it,

but it quickly vanishes before you can identify it.  To the north and

south the trail continues through the neverending darkness of the forest.

Dozens of broken twigs and branches litter the trail before you, each

snapped in half as if many feet had crossed over them.  The dark soil is

covered with footprints but none are recognizable due to time taking its

toll on the trail.  Against the edge of the trail to the south a rusted

iron pike, covered in spots of dried blood, leans against one of the

massive dark trees.  The trail continues to swerve through the dense

forest to the north and west from here.

Scattered about the forest trail are hundreds of tiny bleached-white

bones, no larger than the size of your index finger.  Pieces of torn

leather and cloth hang from the branches of the overhanging trees, each

slowly wavering in the gentle breeze.  From somewhere deep inside the

forest you can hear the sound of rustling leaves, as if someone were

The dark soil of the path gives way to small patches of grass and moss. 

Tiny white flowers dot the edges of the trail, giving the dull, dark

scenery of the forest some color.  Swaying in the breeze from the

branches of the trees are small, ornate wood carvings, each different

from the other.  To the north the trail is barred by several tree trunks

which have fallen over but to the south it remains clear.

The fog on this portion of the trail has become extremely thick, dropping

visibility down to a few inches in front of you.  Peering through the fog

you can just barely make out the skeletal form of trees which line the

trail and act as your only landmark to keep you from straying off it. 

The ground is covered in mounds of damp leaves which quietly rustle as

you tread across them.  The trail looks as though it continues to the

north and west from here, but the fog makes it difficult to be sure.

The air is thick and musty here, as if you were in a deep underground

cavern.  The thick clouds of fog continually roll in from the depths of

the forest, obscuring everything except for the faint outlines of the

trees lining the trail.  Lying diagonally across the path is a splintered

tree trunk which is covered in a thick green slime.  A slight breeze

blows through the area, causing the leaves of the treetops above you to

rain droplets of dew down upon your head.  The trail continues through

the seemingly never-ending fog to the east and west.

Bits of moldy straw line the edge of the path, covered in an odorous

green slime.  The branches which hang above your head occasionally shake

Shadowy Forest - Muddy Trail~
You have to be rather careful in maneuvering your way around this trail,

as several shallow pools of dirty, foul-smelling water have randomly

formed.  Many twigs and leaves gently float upon the surfaces of the

pools, having fallen from the surrounding trees to the east and west.  So

many of the twigs and leaves have accumulated that they nearly conceal

the pools' surfaces.  Peering through the towering trees and plants to

the east, you can spot some small thatched huts.

The pools range from a couple of feet across to as large as five feet in

rotten odor that resembles week-old meat.

A massive wall of vegetation grows to the west.  It consists of long,

light-green strands of ivy which wind their way closely within a

profusion of large ferns and thick bushes, impeding progress in that

direction.  The trail forks off in three different directions.  To the

east, the trail appears to be drier, but also narrower; while travel

north and south looks messy due to increased moisture on the ground.

You notice the lack of light able to pass through the towering trees of

the forest.  Many plants, like the ones in the dense foliage to the west,

have still managed to flourish here.  Perhaps the soil is rich with

nutrients, or perhaps the plants have somehow adapted well to their dark

environs.  To the east, past a short, ivy-covered wooden fence and a few

trees, lies a small thatched hut that looks weather-beaten and worn.  The

trail continues to the north and south, weaving its way through the

forest.

thick, thorny bushes entangled with long vines that almost completely

overtake the bushes.  Beyond the bushes are tall trees with trunks as

wide as two ogres.  The dark branches of the trees form a complex canopy. 

Combined with the overgrowing bushes, the branches form a web-like

pattern cloaking anything that may exist beyond them.

small soggy piles.  The piles look like miniature knolls and give off a

wretched odor.  Passage to the north and south seems improbable due to

the abundant overgrowth of plants in those directions.  The trail is

their branches intermingling with one another to form an impassable

barrier.  On the ground, you can detect the outlines of many leaves which

have been submerged within the mud.  Several of the leaves still clutter

the surface of the trail, indicating that those had recently fallen from

they prevent normal access through them.  Extensive strands of

olive-green ivy hang tightly from the long dark branches of the trees and

block out part of the trail.  Moss also grows along the barks of several

of the trees, covering about a quarter of their trunks.  The muddy trail

Shadowy Forest - Muddy Trail~
Piled up in the center of the trail here are the corpses of several

gnomes; each still retaining bits of their leather armor upon their

bodies.  Lying scattered about the pile of bodies are several

blood-stained pikes and halberds which still have bits of decaying flesh

attached to their blades.  A small mound of damp leaves lying just off

the eastern side of the path poorly covers the decaying remains of what

looks like a faerie.  The trail wanders off to the north and south from

Tiny mounds of white sand dot the surface of the trail here, standing out

against the blood-red mud.  The stiff breeze which blows through the

trees carries with it the scent of salt water and seaweed.  As the trees

sway back and forth along the eastern edge of the trail you can

occasionally catch a glimpse of waves crashing against the shoreline of a

beach.  Directly to the west, partially obscured by thick vines hanging

down from the trees, is a small thatched hut.  The trail continues to

The leaves of the tree are a sickly black color and ooze a thick, black

sap which drops to the ground where it has collected in large puddles. 

Around the base of the tree a thick brown moss has begun to grow although

none of it has grown over the tree's bark.  Small footpaths span out in

Shadowy Forest - Intersection of Footpaths~
The ground here is littered with small piles of shattered bone fragments;

each partially covered with a thick orange moss.  Lying off the edge of

each corner of the intersection are the remains of small wooden fences

which are now nothing more than weathered and warped planks of wood.  A

stiff breeze constantly blows through the treetops, causing the branches

to sway and crack as if they could break free at any moment.  Off to the

west you can just make out a large black tree jutting up from the center

of the clearing.  Footpaths span out in all directions from here,

continuing through the massive clearing.

Shadowy Forest - Small Footpath Between Huts~
Several barrels have been stacked upon along the edges of the footpath

here; each broken open revealing a clear liquid within them.  An

overwhelming scent of pure alcohol emanates from within the barrels

causing your eyes to tear-up and burn.  Tucked in between a few of the

barrels are moth-eaten burlap sacks within which you can see small strips

of rotted meat.  Imprinted into the dark soil are several humanoid-

looking footprints, no larger than two inches long.  The trail continues

its course through the forest to the north and south from here.

mounds, each about a foot high.  Partially buried within one of the

mounds are tiny bits of stale meat and miniature bones that are

unrecognizable.  Directly to the north and south of you are

decrepit-looking thatched huts.  Not enough straw covers the roof of the

huts, leaving noticeable gaps and little protection from the elements.

Tall, thick grass and long, snake-like vines cover this narrow dirt trail. 

The branches of the dark trees rest low to the ground here, causing you

to continually duck your head to avoid bumping into one.  The ground,

although appearing to be dry, has a moist, swamp-like feeling to it and

every step you take causes a squishing sound to echo throughout the

silent woods.  To the east a dense wall of vegetation hangs down from the

branches of the trees, making travel in that direction nearly impossible.

trunk in the center of the platform is a small set of wooden steps which

lead up towards the top of the tree.  To the east, west and south large,

thick branches spread out over the clearing.

Along a Thick Dark Branch~
The branch shows serious signs of mistreatment; someone has attempted to

saw through half the branch making it very weak and unstable.  Several

rickety wooden boards hang off the edge of the branch, possibly the

remains of a catwalk which used to be here.  Small gaps in the leaves

allow a clear view to the forest floor below and the thatched huts which

dot the landscape.  To the north the branch thins out a bit as it

stretches over the forest.  A wooden platform has been erected around

the trunk to the west.

might shine through.  Above you, high up in the tree top, are several

small tree houses which are just barely visible through the dense foilage. 

A small wooden platform has been erected at the edge of the branch to the

east.  the south the branch heads back towards the trunk of the dark tree.

The remains of a small wooden platform rest along this section of the

branch; its rickety boards on the verge of breaking in two.  Small wooden

wind chimes have been hung from the surrounding branches which gently tap

together as a breeze blows through the tree; creating an eerie music

which echoes through the tree.  The dense foliage all around you blocks

out all light whatsoever that tries to enter the forest and only a few

small gaps allow a glimpse down to the forest floor below.  The branch

begins to thin out to the north as it advances to its edge.  To the east

This small staircase was obviously not built for a human-sized creature

as the steps are no more than a foot wide.  On either side of you the

Along a Weak and Decaying Branch~
The branch beneath your feet constantly bends and quivers violently with

every minute movement you make.  An army of termites scurry across the

decaying bark of the branch, gnawing away at what little wood remains. 

Throughout the leaves of the surrounding branches you notice that several

spiders have made their home here; their delicate silken webs glistening

when light breaks through the tree top and strikes them.  To the south

the branch thins out considerably, becoming but a mere twig.  To the east

the branch widens a bit as it reaches a fork in itself.

At the Edge of a Flimsy Branch~
The branch here is fairly thin; averaging no more than seven inches

across.  With every gust of wind that blows through the tree the branch

sways and bends uneasily, as if at any moment it could snap beneath the

weight of your body.  The foliage is quite thin along the surrounding

branches, giving you a clear glimpse to the surrounding forest.  Through

a gap in the leaves you spy a large waterfall pouring off a cliff to the

southeast.  The branch extends to the north from here, heading back

towards the trunk.

Along a Weak and Decaying Branch~
The branch thins out as it extends further south.  It seems to have a

difficult time trying to support any weight as it sways gently when

buffetted by a gust of wind.  Several scratches on the side of its bark

appear to have come from below.  Judging by the location and small size

of the scratches, they were probably caused by arrows hitting the branch

from below.  The scratches along the branch reveal a light yellow-colored

interior.  Broad leaves grow all along the branch, and many more blanket

the area above you.  Some of the leaves are a yellow-green color and

appear less than healthy.  The branch also looks passable westward.

At the Edge of a Flimsy Branch~
You are on the thin tip of a dark gray branch of the great tree.  The

branch doesn't appear able to support much weight on it and looks ready

to break from any quick, sudden movements.  Many yellow-green leaves grow

at its southern edge, drooping lazily to the ground below.  The ground

looks pretty far from here, and you think it would be wise to maintain

your balance as best you can to prevent any disastrous fall.  The branch

thickens if you carefully move north.

Within a Small Thatched Hut~
Shattered fragments of book shelves and chairs lie in disorganized heaps

all around this hut.  Their wooden parts have been mostly cracked and

chewed away by termites.  Along the floor beside the fragile-looking

walls of the room are layers of dried leaves and small twigs.  Blood

drops seem to have soaked on some of them.  Judging by the thickness and

moisture, the blood appears to have been spilled fairly recently.  A

thatch door that barely hangs on its hinges lies to the south.

A dusty, cluttered bookshelf rests against the southern wall.  Many dried

leaves line the edges of the shelf.  Leaves also carpet the moist ground,

some of which lie in small piles as though providing the shoddily built

hut with comfortable places to rest.  Lying against the western wall past

several piles of leaves is a small bed in which only someone the size of

a human child could fit.  Two of the legs on the bed are missing, causing

the bed to tilt awkwardly.  A strong, pungent smell seems to originate

from somewhere near the bed.  Set against the northern wall is a thatch

Rising up before you to the south is a massive wall of sharp thorns, each

dripping a gooey black substance which sizzles as it hits the ground. 

Lying at the base of the thorn wall are several small piles of bone

fragments, no more than an inch long.  Small sets of what appear to be

animal tracks have been imprinted into the dark, damp soil beneath your

feet, heading off to the north.  On either side of you, the trees of the

forest have grown so close together as to block travel in those

directions.  To the north a dense wall of vegetation dangles from the

1 south massive wall sharp thorns gooey black substance~
Growing in a rectangular configuration to the south is a wall of thorny

branches.  The gray and brown branches extend over ten feet from the

ground.  They resemble long, bony fingers with sharp fingernails.  Thorns

as round as a spool and as sharp as a needle jut out from the branches. 

Dripping slowly, but continuously, from them is a thick, black substance. 

The substance is viscous and opaque, although you can see a few air

bubbles in it.

You can see animal tracks on the moist brown soil.  They seem to come from

Towering trees grow closely to the sides of the trail.  Their trunks are

Shadowy Forest - Silent Path~
This small dirt trail is covered with several thousand multi-colored

leaves.  The trees lining the edge of the path are a mixture between the

black trees which dominate the forest and some healthy-looking oak trees

whose bark is a rich brown color.  A gentle breeze blows through the path

here causing the trees to bend and sway gracefully yet no sound issues

forth from them as they tap each other.  To the north, a dense wall of

gleaming black thorns has formed, while to the south, the path continues

unhindered.

Hundreds of large walnuts have been scattered about the leaf-covered path

here, crunching silently as you step across them.  The remains of a white

marble bench lie just off the path to the south; now overgrown with thick

ivy vines.  Above you the tree tops sway gently in the slight breeze,

causing bits of light to occasionally reach the forest floor.  The path

continues to the north and east from here, among the silence of the trees.

Shadowy Forest - Silent Path~
Almost hidden amongst the overgrowth around you, you notice several large

statues carved in the form of gnomish warriors dressed for battle.  Time

and weather have taken their toll on the statues; many of them are

missing arms, and several slabs of stone have been chipped away.  Thick

ivy vines have grown over just about everything along the path here

including the trees, allowing no light to reach this part of the trail. 

To the east a massive waterfall can be clearly seen pouring off a cliff,

yet no sounds issue forth from the raging water.

Shadowy Forest - Before a Shimmering Waterfall~
Cascading down off a rocky cliff face to the east is a magnificent

waterfall of crystal clear water.  At the base of the cliff is a large

clear pool of water surrounded by pearly-white stones where the waterfall

deposits its liquid.  The trees surrounding the trail have spaced out

quite a bit, allowing small rays of sunlight to shine in, reflecting off

the mist of the waterfall and creating a beautiful rainbow.  Next to the

pool of water are several small white marble benches, allowing travellers

a place to rest a moment.  To the west the trail continues back into the

dense forest.

Behind a Shimmering Waterfall~
The loud roaring of the waterfall to the west echoes around the smooth

stone walls of this dark cavern.  Lying partially entombed beneath the

stone floor are several humanoid skeletons; each covered in ages of dust. 

Erected in the center of the room is a large stone altar composed of

slabs of white marble.  Scattered about the surface of the altar are

several handfuls of dried white flower petals which emanate a strong

scent of honey.  Hammered into the walls with steel spikes are several

white sconces; each containing a torch covered in several layers of

cobwebs.  Mounds of large stones have been piled of against the eastern

side of the cave, apparently from a cave-in which occurred some time ago.

Several dozen blazing torches have been set into golden sconces all along

the walls of this small cavern.  A small campfire rests in the center of

the room, heating the room and lighting it brightly.  Scattered all about

the cavern are small bedrolls and cooking utensils.  Painted across the

walls are several large murals depicting an army of dark faeries in

fierce combat with tiny sea sprites atop a sandy cliff.  Cut into the

cavern's ceiling is a small vent hole from which a small amount of light

enters.  A large mound of stone rubble lies against the western wall of

the cavern.
