This part of the forest seems to have a more peaceful quality than the
forest surrounding it.  You sense a friendlier atmosphere as you turn to

Serene Forest~
Pacific is the word that first comes to mind as you travel through this 
ancient wood.  Perhaps the largest tree in the wood is a short walk ahead
of you to the west.  Birds are singing like you've never heard them sing
before, and a fox runs across your path, disappearing into the brush.

The forest looks more 'inhabited' here.  The brush doesn't grow as thick
and many small trails branch out from the main path you are following.  A
big hint that intelligent creatures live here is the large hole carved 
through the bottom of the ancient oak tree to the west.

pointy hats.  The people seem to run around not paying much attention to
anything, even running into each other every once and a while.  Several 
hollowed out trees line the courtyard.
