An Overgrown Trail~
   Continuing through the heavy undergrowth, you find yourself
in the middle of the forest.  The sounds of the forest can be
heard all round and you feel a peaceful feeling come over you
as you realize that mankind has not passed this way for some
time.
   The fading trail you are on appears to have been so little
used that it has almost completely grown over with vegitation
from the woods here.  
   The faded trail appears to lead west and south.  To the south
a strange eerie silence seems to hang in the air, almost blocking
out all the sounds that you can hear from the north and east.
 To the north, a stone path leads away from the trail, heading
towards a large structure.

A Dirt Road~
   As you leave the forest to the north, you find yourself at
what appears to be the beginning of a dirt road and a small
village.  Upon first laying eyes on this place you realize
that there is something funny about this settlement... there
is no sound other that the whistling wind here.  You would have
expected to hear people going about their regular business, but
the village is silent.  You cannot see any movement around the
village either.  It is almost as still and silent as the woods
to the north.
There is a small sign lying by the side of the road here.

A Small Intersection~
   Continuing along the dirt road, you find yourself at a place where
a small path splits away from the main road and leads off to the west.
The woods around the village seem to be pressing inwards towards you
as if the village hides a secret which they do not want to be spread
about.
   There is another house standing on the east side of the road.

A Dirt Road~
   This section of the dirt road is quiet, but there is an awful stench
in the air.  It brings to mind rotting corpses and raw sewage.  The woods
contiue to press closely about you, and almost totally surround the small
building to the west with a thatched roof.  There is a blackened shell of
a building to the east with a small sign hanging out front from a black
and charred chain.
   The dirt road continues north and south.

A Large Pit~
   The dirt road ends at the edge of a large pit here and you now
realize where the awful smell was coming from.  This pit appears
to be a mass grave for the citizens of the village.  There are
bones and corpses lying all over the place.  A lot of the corpses
look too recent to be from the Townsbridge murders of almost a
decade ago, but the village seems to have been empty for almost
that long.
   The dirt road leads away from the carnage to the north.

A House~
   This house is a wreck, furniture has been strewn all about
the room, and it looks like a tornado landed right in the middle
of the room.  The destruction that has taken place in this room
is almost beyond belief.  The oddest part of it all though, is
how it all seems so recent, since there are no cobwebs, and there
is no dust on anything.
   The dirt road can be seen to the east through the doorway.

   This darkened room is barely lit by the outdoor light, but what
you can see of it gives you the creeps.  There are cobwebs dangling
from everything, a thick layer of dust begins to rise up at your
passage, and a strange howl comes from somewhere around you.  The
furniture in this house is old and of a type that hasn't been seen
around these lands for some time.  If it was in better shape, you
might be able to sell it as antique.
   The meager light of the road shines through the doorway to the
west.

A Small Cottage~
   This cottage looks to have been left in exactly the same shape as
it was in quite some time ago.  It looks as if the residents left one
day and haven't returned home yet.  Oddly enough, the furniture is
dust free and the food on the table still looks fresh.  This house is
really strange, perhaps it wuld be in your best interests to leave as
soon as humanly possible.

The Burned Shop~
   As you enter this small building, you notice that that blackened
walls are due to a fire that seemed to burn here unattended for quite
some time.  There is almost nothing left of the roof that would have
once covered this building, and the north and east walls have been
burnt to almost half the height of the other two walls.  There are
some burnt goods around on the ground and the remains of a counter
near what is left of the north wall seems to indicate that this was
once a shop.
   The road lies to the west through the blackened wall.

A Dark Path~
   As you move away form the open air into the darkness of the path
and the sinister looking woods around you, you get a feeling of awe
and something almost akin to horror.  The wood around is completely
silent, not even the rustling of leaves or the cracking of branches
breaks the silence.  The final thing you notice is that the darkness
all around you seems to be almost contrived, and doesn't seem natural
for this kind of vegitation.
   The path continues west and you can see light to the east.

The Circle Of Stones~
   You are at the edge of a circle of seven large monolith-like stones.
Each stone towers over your head and appears to be at least double your
height.  The stones are made of a dark black material, almost black in
colour.
   In the center of the ring of stones, you can see a black circular
mirror-like disk on the ground.  The surface is highly reflective and
almost appears to be rippling.  The trees surrounding the circle tower
far above your heads blocking out the sky.
   A strange glow seems to be emanating from each stone, almost green
in colour.  This glow provides enough light for you to see with even
though the sky above has been blotted out.

south up ahead to the east, while west leads back to Midgaard.  To the north
in the distance you can see the evil face of Mount Moria.  To the northeast
lies a dirt path leading to the dwarven village.
