#31300 At the South Gate to Ofingia~ Looking south toward what should be the farming capitol of Dibrova, an intense weight of sorrow for the men and women who farmed there, lived there, loved there, and died there staggers you with the sheer immensity of the crimes done them. The sky which once was nearly always blue and clear is filled now with char and soot, carried upon winds of smoke and ash from the goblin raids which took this peaceful community by surprise. The gate to the north always stays closed and barred from the inside, vigilant guards on the ramparts watching for any signs of trouble and bidding you a safe journey. ~ 313 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31301 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31306 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31304 E credits~ *Shattered Farmlands of Ofingia *Written by Kaan for Dibrova Level: 8 - 15 94 rooms 13 mobs 27 objs Connector Zones: Ofingia After making Ofingia a Hometown on Dibrova and having it basically in the middle of BFE, I decided it might be a good idea to stick a zone in that would be close in proximity to Ofingia and have some mobs available that were low level, made just for players fresh out of the Newbie Zones. This is not a very exciting area, I will be the first to admit. There are a number of same-room descrips in this one that make the zone slightly blah. The objs are all intended to be for lower level players, same as the mobs. The plot is supposed to feed off the already existing plot that Ofingia had from the start: The goblins have the town under seige, they have ransacked these farmlands in an attempt to prohibit the town from having any food supplies. They constantly come in and loot and burn everything they can find to further the town's losses. The Lord of Jareth has sent in a retinue of his finest to help quell the threat, however they are unaffective against the numbers of goblins in the area. Hope you like it. Exits: 07s, 16s Links: 00n cave, 33w cave ~ S #31301 The Rocky Flatlands at the City Wall~ Jagged rocks rise from their resting places in the earth the solid rock formations being what Ofingia was built upon. Just to south a ways, the rocks taper off and open up a small valley where one of the many farmland fields of this area are. Of course, the fields are no longer as cared for as they once were, being that every time any farmer makes an attempt at replanting a field, a band of goblins come along and burn it to ash and kill the farmer. The city wall lies to the north - a tall, thick obstuction which is the town's only defense against the goblin hoardes which attempt to overrun the town daily. ~ 313 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31302 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31307 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31300 S #31302 At the Wall of Ofingia~ The southern wall of Ofingia stands tall and impregnable on the north side. To the east, the jumbled upon which you stand drops off into a large field which may once have been growing tall with corn but now only boasts a few scorched stalks. South is much the same, a steep drop off down into the burnt-out field. It does not appear that the way down in either direction is safe - it is recommended that another way be found. ~ 313 0 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31301 S #31303 Rocky Flatlands at the City Wall~ On the north side the south wall of Ofingia rises thirty feet up, solid and unyielding. Stolid faces look down upon you from the ramparts, faces of men and women who have known much pain and injustice from the goblins who continually raid this town. To the south and west are steep rocky drop-offs, too steep for climbing. They lead down into the farming area, where the soil is rich and strong when its not being burnt by goblins or trampled by the feet of marching soldiers. ~ 313 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31304 S #31304 At the City Wall~ The wall of Ofingia rises high on the north side, the way kept blocked by the impenetrable wall which the citizens have fortified and refortified against goblin intrusion. The ground here is rocky and without growth, the rock bed which Ofingia was built upon stands higher than the rest of the land around it. ~ 313 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31300 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31305 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31303 S #31305 The Outer Rocklands of Ofingia~ This is the far southwest edge of the rocklands which Ofingia was built upon. To the south and west the rocklands drop steeply away down into the farming land which Ofingia is so famous for. Stone causeways riddle passage on higher ground through the farmlands, seperating each field with a solid wall of rock and scree which is used as the main roadway. The town of Ofingia lies to the north. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31304 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31306 S #31306 The Outer Rocklands of Ofingia~ This is the far southwest edge of the rocklands which Ofingia was built upon. To the southeast and southwest the rocklands drop steeply away down into the farming land which Ofingia is so famous for. Stone causeways riddle passage on higher ground through the farmlands, seperating each field with a solid wall of rock and scree which is used as the main roadway. The town of Ofingia lies to the north, the beginning of the causeway lies south. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31300 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31307 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31308 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31305 S #31307 The Outer Rocklands of Ofingia~ This is the far southeast edge of the rocklands which Ofingia was built upon. To the south and east the rocklands drop steeply away down into the farming land which Ofingia is so famous for. Stone causeways riddle passage on higher ground through the farmlands, seperating each field with a solid wall of rock and scree which is used as the main roadway. The town of Ofingia lies to the north. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31301 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31306 S #31308 A Breathtaking View~ The start of the walkway begins here, the tall manmade rock causeway that spans over most of the farming area of Ofingia. From this height, most of the farmlands and the small homes within those areas can be seen. At one time, an artist could probably have been struck with wonder and awe at the beauty of this vast, organized farming area. Now the fields - once green and verdant with life - are burnt and smoking. Farmhouses have been all but erradicated by the roving hoardes of giblins from the mountain caverns to the north. The causeway leads south into the smoke and soot or north toward the city. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31306 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31309 S #31309 On the Causeway~ To the east and west the rock slopes downward into farming areas, where the field are burnt and twisted from the ravages of battle. Occassionally in the fields below, a figure or two can be seen running crouched over from one spot to another trying not be seen. Small pockets of fighting can be heard if not seen in the areas below. It is rumored that the Lord of Jareth sent reinforcements for the town to try and eliminate the threat of the goblins, maybe that is what the sounds are from. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31308 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31310 S #31310 High Upon the Causeway~ All of the smoke and ash from the burnt-out fields has risen into the air, rising to this higher elevation where it has made breathing almost difficult. The causeway runs north and south with the fields below on the east and west. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31309 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31311 S #31311 Stone Causeway~ The causeway splits off to the east at this point, also continuing south and north. The high wall of Ofingia can be seen off to the north, fields full of charred and smoking crops lie northeast, west and souteast from here. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31310 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31312 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31330 S #31312 Narrow Causeway~ This section of the causeway narrows somewhat, only wide enough for one cart to pass at this point. It continues far to the east, heading over many fields which lie in smoky ruins. To the west, the causeway comes to a juncture where it splits north and south. ~ 313 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31313 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31311 S #31313 Narrow Causeway~ This section of the causeway narrows somewhat, only wide enough for one cart to pass at this point. It continues far to the east, heading over many fields which lie in smoky ruins. Far to the west, the causeway comes to a juncture where it splits north and south. ~ 313 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31314 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31312 S #31314 A Split in the Causeway~ A small, almost unfinished section of the causeway runs off to the east running through a smaller set of fields. It appears that maybe this fields were just recently cultivated before the raids began. Now, of course, they are in ruin - smoking and burnt almost beyond repair. To the south, a wider stretch of the causeway runs south through some of the larger and more profitable fields of the area. ~ 313 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31315 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31319 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31313 S #31315 Poorly-made Section of the Causeway~ This area of the farmlands appears to either have been very new during the time when the raids began or else it was destroyed by the raids, broken down into its current state by goblins intent on destroying everything in their path. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31316 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31314 S #31316 Strewn Rubble Causeway~ The causeway barely affords any travel to the north. It has been left either unfinished or has been broken down to the point of almost unusability. Small fields lie to the north and south, burnt and ravaged just like the rest of this area. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31317 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31315 S #31317 The End of the Causeway~ It appears that it may be possible to climb east down the rubble onto the flat farmlands from this elevated position, however if you wish to stay upon the causeway with a good vantage point you will have to head back to the west. As it is now, the causeway has broken down to the point where it is only five feet higher at the most than the fields it runs through. ~ 313 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31318 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31316 S #31318 The Base of the Causeway~ Chunks of stone and rubble lie scattered, as if someone were still working on extending this section of the causeway further into the fields to make room for more farming. To the south, an enormous field of scorched earth strectches toward the horizon, the same true of the blackened fields to the north. You may climb back up onto the causeway to the west if that is your intent. ~ 313 c 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31374 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31339 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31317 S #31319 The Eastern Causeway~ This small section of causeway, called the Eastern Causeway because it runs at the farmlands' farthest east section, runs through area splitting the main field to the west from the Eastern Field to the east. Just north of here is where the Eastern Causeway meets another, splitting off to the east and west. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31314 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31320 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 31385 S #31320 The Eastern Causeway~ This small section of causeway, called the Eastern Causeway because it runs at the farmlands' farthest east section, runs through area splitting the main field to the west from the Eastern Field to the east. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31319 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31321 S #31321 The Eastern Causeway~ You stand atop the center of the Eastern Causeway, the causeway that seperates the far Eastern Field from the rest of the farmlands. The top of this stone walkway is clear and wide, large enough to accomodate a couple of wagons side by side. The only obstruction is the occassional body part or stray piece of armor that has fallen from the battles fought through this area. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31320 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31322 S #31322 South End of the Eastern Causeway~ A great amount of fighting must have been centered in this area, as the whole top of the causeway here is strewn with body parts, stained in blood and littered with crude weapons and armor. The fields below - on every side - still smoke in places, with the occassional clang of armor and weapons reaching your ears. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31321 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31323 S #31323 The Southeastern Corner~ The Eastern Causeway ends at this point, another section of it heading west through more of the farmlands. To the south is a fairly large plot of land owned and farmed - until recently - by Jon Boggins, the first farmer in this area. His land is now scorched and ruined with no hope of a crop for at least a couple more years until the soil repairs itself. The folk of Ofingia have only seen Jon once since the raids began, when he came into town to ask for military help from the mayor. Jon's farm was the first hit by the raids, and the mayor thought that it would be a one-time occurance. Since the town forces were already fighting in the caverns east of town and were few in number to start with, the mayor refused Jon his help. Jon spit in the mayor's face and vowed never to pay another dime in taxes. The only communication from Jon was a cart bearing his farm's crest sent into town bearing the remains of Jon's son. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31322 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31324 S #31324 Stone Causeway~ The causeway runs along high above the farming lands east to west. To the north and south are the scorched fields which used to supply the main farming products for most of Dibrova. ~ 313 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31323 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31325 S #31325 Stone Causeway~ The red blood of humans is mixed with the thick, green slimy blood of goblins on these rocks. Looking down into the fields below, it makes you wonder if through the smoke and ash drifting in the wind if there isn't some goblin or even a band of them waiting for you to descend. Waiting so that they might tear you throat out and eat you whole. ~ 313 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31324 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31326 S #31326 A Wide Crossroads~ The causeway opens up and bcomes extremely wide here to allow for the increased traffic of wagons and carts that would normally flow through here. The causeway branches off to the east as well as running north and south. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31327 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31325 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31336 S #31327 Wide Causeway~ This main elevated road through the fields runs north and south for quite some distance. To the south are a couple of offshoots which head in other directions. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31328 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31326 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 31390 S #31328 Wide Causeway~ This main elevated road through the fields runs north and south for quite some distance. On either side, to the east and west, are the charred remains of the fields that once bore the fruit of this realm. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31329 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31327 S #31329 Rocky Causeway~ The causeway runs north and south for a long distance through the center of the farmlands. Smoking, ruined fields lie to the east and west - some of them still on fire. Far to the north, the tall wall of Ofingia rises up high, protecting the town from the many raids. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31330 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31328 S #31330 Intersection on the Causeway~ This area is a crux where the causeway runs north to south, with a small offshoot to the west. The way west appears little traveled, it is not as wide as this main section by half. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31311 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31329 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31331 S #31331 A Short Section~ This short stub of causeway runs west for a very short distance with a small section bending north at the end. To the east is the main causeway which runs smack dab through the center of the farming area. ~ 313 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31330 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31332 S #31332 Private Causeway~ At one time - not too long ago - this section of the farming area was owned and kept by Scorfahr, the richest of the farmers in the Ofingian farmlands due to the immense size of his fields and the quality of the soil with which he produced the most plentiful crops year after year. Scorfahr was killed right at the outset of the raids by a roaving band, his farm burnt to the ground. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31333 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31331 S #31333 The End of a Private Causeway~ This small section of additional causeway was built by Scorfahr so he could have his own ingress and egress to his home without having to deal with the common farmhands who frequented the main causeway. A sloping path leads down to the north into the field and homestead where Scorfahr used to reside. His home, once the largest and most opulent home in the farmlands, is now no more than a burnt out shell - still smoking. ~ 313 0 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31332 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 31369 S #31334 A Short Causeway~ This short section ends here, a small path leading west and down into the fields below. To the east is the path back along the crest of the causeway back to the main path. To the south is the reservoir, the man-made basin of water which was used to irrigate all of the land in this area. A small waterfall falls gently into the basin on its western end, the water originating from somewhere up in the mountains. ~ 313 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31335 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 31357 S #31335 A Short Causeway~ This small sections ends just west of here, the personal causeway for some farmer or another who might have once used it to get down into his fields and his home. To the south is the reservoir, the man-made basin of water which was used to irrigate all of the land in this area. A small waterfall falls gently into the basin on its western end, the water originating from somewhere up in the mountains. ~ 313 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31336 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31334 S #31336 Nearing the End of the Causeway~ The end of this main section of the causeway is in sight, just south from here. A small section of the causeway leads off to the west, the reservoir for the farmlands lapping gently against its southern side. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31326 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31337 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31335 S #31337 Nearing the End of the Causeway~ The end of this main causeway ends just to the south. Below, to the west is the man-made reservoir which supplied water to all of the fields, keeping the soil fresh and strong. A gentle waterfall splashes down into the reservoir from the mountains above, keeping it full. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31336 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31338 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 31392 S #31338 The End of the Main Causeway~ The causeway dead ends at this area, a paht sloping down the side of the rock walkway into the fields below to the east. Below, to the west is the man-made reservoir which supplied water to all of the fields, keeping the soil fresh and strong. A gentle waterfall splashes down into the reservoir from the mountains above, keeping it full. ~ 313 c 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31337 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 31354 S #31339 Scorched Earth~ The earth is blackened, damaged beyond repair in any time coming soon. The goblins come and raid the area, killing off any resistance and burning anything that might burn - over and over again. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31318 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31340 S #31340 Burnt Field~ The land lies clear and black, smooth as if it had been rolled over with a giant roller. Bits and pieces of wood give testament to the fact there once was a home or structure of some size here before the raids began. The materials must all have been scavenged or burnt to ash - there are only splinters and scraps here now. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31339 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31341 S #31341 Scorched Earth~ All around are the burnt, scorched, blistered remains of what was once a wonderful field of sown wheat. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31340 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31342 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31346 S #31342 Burnt Field~ All around are the burnt, scorched, blistered remains of what was once a wonderful field of sown wheat. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31341 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31343 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31347 S #31343 Scorched Earth~ All around are the burnt, scorched, blistered remains of what was once a wonderful field of sown wheat. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31342 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31344 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31348 S #31344 Burnt Field~ All around are the burnt, scorched, blistered remains of what was once a wonderful field of sown wheat. To the south is a small wooden structure, still standing unscathed in this field of death and fire. The entrance must lie on its west side, the door is not on this side. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31343 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31349 S #31345 Watershed~ This could very well be the last remaining structure that stands with four walls in this entire farmland area. For some unknown reason the goblins left it standing and when the fires passed by in the fields outside, it did not ignite. This would probably be a very good place to rest if that were your desire. ~ 313 cd 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31350 S #31346 Burnt Field~ All around are the burnt, scorched, blistered remains of what was once a wonderful field of sown wheat. ~ 313 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31341 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31347 S #31347 Scorched Earth~ All around are the burnt, scorched, blistered remains of what was once a wonderful field of sown wheat. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31346 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31342 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31348 S #31348 Burnt Field~ All around are the burnt, scorched, blistered remains of what was once a wonderful field of sown wheat. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31347 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31343 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31349 S #31349 Scorched Earth~ All around are the burnt, scorched, blistered remains of what was once a wonderful field of sown wheat. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31348 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31344 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31350 S #31350 Burnt Field~ All around are the burnt, scorched, blistered remains of what was once a wonderful field of sown wheat. The entrance to a small wood structure lies to the east. To the south is the heaping pile of what is left of the barn and farmhouse that used top be here. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31349 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31345 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31351 S #31351 A Crude Barricade~ The heaped remains of the farmhouse and barn - that which hasn't been burned to ash - has been erected into a barricade against goblin intrusion. A large hole has been dug in the earth to accomodate more space and protection from the cold nights. All of this is butt up against the rock wall of the valley on the east side. To north and west are the burnt and scorched fields. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31350 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31352 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31355 S #31352 A Crude Barricade~ The roving goblins of this area must have not wanted to leave a single stalk, a single bit of shrubbery standing. The heaped remains of the farmhouse and barn - that which hasn't been burned to ash - has been erected into a barricade against goblin intrusion. A large hole has been dug in the earth to accomodate more space and protection from the cold nights. The barricade area spans just a bit north from here, a way out of this heap of burnt wood lies to the west. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31351 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31353 S #31353 Trampled and Bloodied Ground~ The roving goblins of this area must have not wanted to leave a single stalk, a single bit of shrubbery standing. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31355 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31352 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31354 S #31354 Burnt Field~ The roving goblins of this area must have not wanted to leave a single stalk, a single bit of shrubbery standing. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31356 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31353 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 31338 S #31355 Smoking Farmlands~ The roving goblins of this area must have not wanted to leave a single stalk, a single bit of shrubbery standing. ~ 313 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31351 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31353 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31356 S #31356 Smoking Farmlands~ The roving goblins of this area must have not wanted to leave a single stalk, a single bit of shrubbery standing. ~ 313 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31355 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 31354 S #31357 Charred Battlesite~ The battle that must have been fought in this space appears to have cost both sides dearly. Husks of goblin bodies litter the ground and blood from the defenders of this land soaks the soil. ~ 313 c 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31359 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 31358 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 31334 S #31358 Charred Battlesite~ The battle that must have been fought in this space appears to have cost both sides dearly. Husks of goblin bodies litter the ground and blood from the defenders of this land soaks the soil. The wind blows through this corner of the field, howling against the rock wall of the causeway, sounding almost like the wail of the dead. ~ 313 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 31360 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 31357 S #31359 Charred Battlesite~ The battle that must have been fought in this space appears to have cost both sides dearly.
