Vertical Passageway~
A passageway, cut through solid granite, climbs at an almost completely

vertical angle.  The bottom of the this long passage can be seen just

below.  Spikes made of cast iron have been nailed into the sides of the

granite shaft, providing slim but sturdy hand holds for climbing up or

down the vertical passage.  You cannot see the top of the passage from

here.

Vertical Passageway~
A vertical passageway continues up and down as far as you are able to see. 

Tunneled from grey granite, the passageway is little more than a mining

shaft.  Set into the shaft's rough, irregular sides are a series of cast

iron spikes.  The spikes are spaced evenly apart, like the rungs of a

ladder.

This vertical passageway, cut through solid granite, leads up and down

quite a ways.  You are unable to see either the top or bottom of the

shaft from here.  A series of iron spikes nailed into the side of the

mining shaft provide evenly spaced hand holds to cling to.  On the west

side of the shaft, which is no more than six feet wide, there are a

series of trailing scratch marks.

Vertical Passageway~
What looks to be an old, forgotten mining shaft leads up and down at a

nearly vertical angle here.  Cast iron spikes, like the rungs of a

ladder, jut out from the side of the granite rock shaft and provide

sturdy, if rusty, hand holds to aid in the ascent or descent of this

passageway.  There is no evidence, aside from the shaft itself, that

mining ever took place within this passageway.

The passageway seems to come to a stopping point just above.  There are

but a few more iron spikes set into the granite walls to go before the

top can be reached, though the bottom of the old mining shaft is a very

long way down from here.  Many of the iron rungs have begun to rust and

all of them look slippery with moisture.

A Small Cavern~
A small cavern of grey-green limestone rises around you.  At its greatest

height, the cavern is no higher than twenty feet tall.  Stalactites hang

from the ceiling, with their tips barely touching some stalagmites that

rise from the floor.  A five-foot wide shaft has been cut into the center

of the cavern, through an intrusion of grey granite.  The small cavern

extends to the north as well.

A Small Cavern~
Though small, this limestone cavern looks quite capable of suiting the

travel of several people abreast.  Dripstone formations such as

stalagmites and stalactites rise from the floor and hang from the ceiling

respectively.  The limestone walls have been smoothed over time by the

passage of rivulets of water that creep down the walls.  The cavern

extends both to the north and south.

A large boulder lies against the western wall.

Vertical Passageway~
The passageway leads down into the darkness as far as you can see.  From

above you feel a cool breeze.  You smile faintly, hoping you dont have a

long way to go until you are out of this blasted passageway.

The Cave~
This looks like a normal cave, but there is a set of rungs leading down a

vertical tunnel, which probably leads to a mine of some sort.  To the

north you can see light shining through the cave entrance, and you feel

the cold wind blowing into the cave.

Snowy Plateau~
This area is more of a plateau than a trail.  It is bitterly cold, and

the strong wind only makes it worse.  Mountains are visible as far as the

eye can see.  Directly to the south, a broken cliff rises into the

mountains, in which you think you might spy a cave opening.

You stand on a narrow trail which winds its way between sheer rock walls,

high in the mountains above the snowline.  To the north, the ground leads

downward toward a large mountainous plateau, while the trail becomes

increasingly faint as it winds its way through ever-deepening banks of

snow to the north.  Every now and then, a pale gray rock or stone peeks

out of the snow cover to mark the trail.

Almost no vegetation grows here in the cold, rocky ground.  All about

you, the scenery is breathtaking, with lines of mountains towering over

this spot, itself already quite high in the mountains.  The trail is

narrow here, and only a few stone markers allow you to follow it through

the area as it leads north and south.

High Mountain Junction~
Dominating the view to the north is the great Cairn Mountain, the giant

peak for which this mountain range is named.  It towers over the

landscape, impressing all with its grandeur.  Three roads lead away from

this fork.  To the north, the Cairn Mountain Road enters the mountain

range proper.  To the east, the Mountain Road leads down below the snow

line, and back toward the forested slopes and the Great North Road. 

forested slopes.  To the west, the High Mountain Trail leads across the

plateau.

you may follow the road up, and further into the Cairn Mountains, or

south toward a large, open plateau.

Cairn Mountain Road~
The road, though covered with snow, plods its way through the mountains. 

Despite great crevasses and sheer rock walls, the road navigates the area

into the mountainside.  Cairn Mountain looms over you to the north, and

you may follow the road east or down.

The road makes its way between two immense mountains which rise thousands

of feet above you to the east and west.  Despite the snow cover, several

large stone markers signal the way for you to follow the road, north or

up and south.  The trail heads up to the south into a pass between two

mountains and simply goes north at about the same height.  There are many

booted tracks easily seen in the snow covered trail heading both north

and south.

Cairn Mountain Road - Junction and Obelisk~
The trail becomes quite flat and wide here and looks like someone has

made the effort to cut into the side of the mountain in order to keep the

trail level here.  There are marker stones on both sides of the trail

here which makes it easy to follow despite all the snow.  To the east is

the entrance to a cave.  It is quite big and you see a number of booted

tracks entering and leaving the cave, even though there is a lot of snow

and ice around.  A single great dark stone stands planted in the snow

here, a marker suggesting permanence and power to all who pass by.

Before a Sinister Cave~
You stand on a path that leads directly towards a dark and sinister cave. 

The entrance to the cave is somewhat small, requiring those larger than a

tall human to bend their heads as they enter.  Jagged stones and the

bones of small animals litter the ground outside the cave.  There seems

to be nothing alive left here, even the scrubby plants that once grew

nearby have been stripped from this area.  You can enter the cave to the

east or head west down a mountain trail.

The main tunnel slopes gently down from the north.  The floor smoothes

out and converges with the south wall in a graceful curve.  Along the

south wall, a large stalagmite reaches up into a large hole in the

ceiling, partially obscured by the tiny stalactites that hang around its

mouth.  The tunnel curves to head east as well as north here.

A Cramped Alcove~
You are in a cramped but spacious cave.  Piles of small bones litter the

floor, as do heaps of rotting rags.  The ceiling is low, making it

difficult to move around much.  In the center of the floor is a large

hole, with the tip of a large stalagmite protruding through it.

The hole appears to be the only way out.

Bottom of a Dark Shaft~
You are in a small cul-de-sac in a dark tunnel.  Above you a shaft coils

up into darkness, curving so that you cannot see what is above you.  A

thick layer of guano covers the floor, signs that bats are nearby.  A

Dark Cave~
The rounded and bumpy natural walls of this cave leave much to the

imagination.  There are many niches and hidden places that are difficult

to see into.  In the center of the floor there is a small bowl-shaped

depression filled with water.  Water trickles down the walls of the cave,

filling the bowl slowly.  To your south, the tunnel continues, dropping

down a small ledge as it heads south.  Two more tunnels lead into

darkness, one to the east and one to the north.

The cave is blocked by a massive rockfall to the north.  Heavy stones and

boulders are littered all over the cave, with shattered bases of

stalagmites and stalactites dotting the floor and ceiling.  The walls of

thick layer of dust that covers them.  You can follow the tunnel south.

rich-brown color, almost pearlescent in hue.  The quarters are quite

cramped in here, making it difficult to even turn around.  Aside from the

obvious wear on the stone, this niche appears to be quite natural in

origin.  The only way out is west towards a larger cave.

In the Mountains~
You stand in a rocky, mountainous area.  To the west, a small trail makes

its way between the boulders and frozen ground.  An immense range of

mountains loom off in the distance to the north, while the rocky uplands

continue to the south and west.

#26556
In the Mountains~
The ground is rocky here, with large boulders strewn about here and

there, the remnants of glacial movements long past.  A great range of

mountains looms far in the distance to the north, while to the south and

west the ground rises steadily toward an equally great, craggy ring of

peaks.  To the southeast, you see the ground gradually fall away and,

below a cliff, you spy the treetops of a forest below you.

In the Mountains~
Several large boulders dominate the area about you, their great forms

jutting out from the rocky curves of the nearby mountains.  To the north

and west, you spy a trail pick its way through the rough terrain as the

ground rises steadily to the south.  To the north, several large

mountains tower over you.

In the Mountains~
Little grows on the cold, stoney ground here, and a few mounds of frozen

blue-white snow and ice lend color to an otherwise bleary grey landscape. 

To the south, a ring of mountains loom above you, their cragginess

mimicing that of the peaks which enclose the plateau to the north.

Cairn Mountain Road~
Large marker stones line the edge of the road here, making it easy to

follow the road despite the layer of snow which covers the ground.  The

road follows a pass between two great mountains, and you see many booted

tracks in the snow-covered ground which follow this path.

Cairn Mountain Valley~
You stand near the bottom of a great valley in the mountains.  On all

sides, a great ring of steep, snow-covered mountains tower above you,

their barren rock faces whipped and worn by a constant torrent of wind. 

To the south, the highest of the mountains loom, mute, indifferent, and

ageless.

Small Mountain Path~
A small path cuts across this barren slope, weaving between oppressive,

rocky forms indifferent to your presence in this forsaken place.  The

ground leads down to the south, toward a large plateau and some sort of

road, while the path continues west, leading toward the base of a steep

slope.

Small Mountain Path - Steep Slope~
The small path winds its way between gigantic rock formations, heading

north to cut between two oddly-shaped boulders, then turning sharply

across a small rocky plain to the east.  Even to the untrained eye it is

apparent that many small feet have recently travelled this way in both

directions.

repetitive pattern which seems almost to be a crude type of

writing...perhaps a warning of some kind...

Small Mountain Path - Atop a Steep Slope~
The path winds its way across the inhospitable terrain, the wind whipping

across you and blasting your face with its frigid zephyrs.  The huge

rocky cliffs of the Cairn Mountains rise above you on all sides,

particularly to the east, where the formations reach dizzying heights,

disappearing into the clouds high above.

#26572
Small Mountain Path - Narrow Shelf~
You are on a narrow shelf in the Cairn Mountains, freezing winds whipping

against you as you cling to the rocky cliff face to the east for support. 

Off the edge of the path to the west is a great vertical drop, leading

down toward distant, forested slopes in a tumble of rocky shelves,

boulders and jagged terrain.

Small Mountain Path~
The small path winds its way between great rock walls here, passing

through a narrow gorge which shelters you from the chill winds which

batter the heights of the Cairn Mountains.  To the east, you see the

trail enter a dark cleft, while south of here the trail becomes more

exposed, crossing a narrow ledge.
