A deserted cottage~
   Once inside you see that the former inhabitants of this cottage
left in a hurry. There seems to be much that was left lying about.
Now after many years only the things that aren't of much use lie
here under a thick layer of dust. There is a fireplace in the
north wall over which a large painting hangs. The only apparent
exit is south.

so on so that a pattern of concentric circles emerges. You

approach it you suddenly feel quite rejected. There is an exit

By the tree~
   Here, by the tree lie lots of bones and many bodies. There is an
exit down. You might get to use it!

Outside the Wall~
   Wasteland extends north of the wall here, mostly littered with
bricks and other remnants of ancient construction. A great forest
is on the west, individual trees reaching nearly to the clouds. The
city wall on the south is in ruin, and a path leads through.
