The vaulted ceiling hangs some twenty-five meters above your head. The rows of seats are all hand-crafted and appear to be made and decorated individually, possibly so each villager has their own specific seat for the meetings. In the center of the hall there are two statues, one of a half-elven mage and one of a human druid. Their are sculptures lining the walls, each individually lit by a magic flame and each set on their own small shelf. The windows of this hall are fantastic both in size and in clarity. There are two gargoyle statues sitting on pedestals by the entryway and there are another pair by the front of the hall, flanking a huge statue of the goddess Mielikki.

You'd better leave quickly! ~ 48 13 0 D3 Outside the cave. ~ ~ 0 -1 15689 S #15691 Circle of Trees~ The trees here are arranged in a perfect circle. The stand like solemn guards holding out the twisted and dense Altat forest. Inside the circle is a clearing coveder entirely with the greenest grass in all the realms. This is a remarkable change from the density of the forest outside the clearing that you just made your way through. There is a very LARGE tree to the west. ~ 48 8196 2 D1 There is a strange rectangular glow in the eastern tree. ~ portal~ 1 -1 15692 D3 There is a small tree here with an obvious door carved into it. ~ tree~ 1 -1 15650 S #15692 West End of the Grove~ This is the most pristene grove in all of the realms. It stands immaculately perfect in each and every way. At this end there is a small flower garden with several different species of flowers in it that are clearly not native to this climate, yet they grow large and in perfect harmony with the other species of plantlife. The grass is perfectly groomed as are the trees both surrounding this area as well as those growing within the confines of the grove. A couple of people can be seen moving about here and WHAT'S THIS! One of them just polymorphed into a bear!!! ~ 48 8192 2 D1 The center of the grove lies to the east. ~ ~ 0 -1 15693 D3 You are looking at the obvious side of a secret door. ~ portal~ 1 -1 15691 S #15693 Center of the Grove~ The grove only gets more spectacular the more it is gazed upon. From here a small brook can be seen to the east and the arrangement of Shrubs and other plants can be observed as the nearly entrancing spectacle that it is. Several species of birds have made their holmes in the branches of the wonderfully manicured trees that are scattered strategically throughout the grove. You can see clearly now that the people who wander about do not do so aimlessly, rather they are in a state of constant grove upkeep. Everywhere they go they examine the surroundings with such intricacy that you think that they do nothing else with their lives. ~ 48 8192 2 D1 The eastern edge of the grove. ~ ~ 0 -1 15694 D3 The western end of the grove. ~ ~ 0 -1 15692 S #15694 Eastern End of the Grove~ This is the most fantastic spectacle of gardening that you have ever seen. To say that this place has been sculpted by masters would be an extreme understatement. The brook at this end of the grove seems to start at the northern edge of the grove and ends at the southern edge. It is crystal clear and several colorful species of fish can be seen living within it. Your reflection in the water is more clear than any mirror you have ever gazed into. All around you life is abundant and perfect. ~ 48 8192 2 D3 The center of the grove lies to the west. ~ ~ 0 -1 15693 S #15695 The Base of the Beguile Mountains~ Unable to be seen through the thick canopy of the forest before now, you are standing at the base of an enormous mountain range. The Beguile mountains are known the world over as having some of the steepest and most dangerous terrain anywhere. Looking up from here the mountains go right through the top of the forest canopy and their peaks cannot be seen through the clouds. For a brief second you see something very large fly overhead, then it is gone.

There don't appear to be any tracks on it yet it is definately not a naturally occuring trail. The ground is very compact and that could be an explanaition, but then again it appears like it has been leveled with great effort and skill. Hmm, aren't dwarves very good at shaping land? ~ 48 0 5 D1 The trail continues to the east. ~ ~ 0 -1 15700 D2 The trail appears to end at the top of a large crack. ~ ~ 0 -1 15701 S $~ #999999
