The Halfling Market
   Fernwalk Lane leads straight north through the market which extends to the

east and west.  Merchants are hawking everything from fruit to leather goods

from small stone tables that have been spaced around the small square.  Small

trees provide shade and a small amount of shelter from the elements and

lanterns hung from some of the lower branches keep the entire square well lit

at night.  Loud laughter and singing can be over the barking dogs and laughing

children that seem to be running everywhere at once.  Fernwalk Lane heads

north through the market continues to the south.  A small square extends to

the north, east and west.

Fernwalk Lane
   Merchants can be heard hawking their wares in the small market to the north

and a dog's barking can be heard in the distance.  The ferns that give this

narrow road its name seem to fade out to the north where the road widens into

a large square.  A lumber shed to the west blocks the view of the small river

that flows along the western edge of the higher plateau and the door to a

small auction house can be seen to the east.  Fernwalk Lane continues both

north and south.

The Intersection of Orchid Way and Fernwalk Lane
   The steady trickle of a tiny waterfall flowing into a small pool to the

west makes a pleasant counterpart to the birds playing in the trees and bushes

nearby.  A large number of small halfling cottages can be seen to the east and

north.  Most of the cottages are made of different woods or combinations of

different woods giving the collection of homes here a colorful, almost

artistic touch.  Halflings take pride in the creation and decoration of

beautiful intricate homes.  Orchid Way continues to the east and makes a short

trip to the west to a small pool of freshwater and Fernwalk Lane continues

both north and south.

Obvious exits: -North -East -South -West
A few drops of fresh blood are scattered around the area.

< 32h/162H 99v/101V Pos: standing >
Fernwalk Lane
   Halflings are inclined to use a wide variety of jungle woods to make their

beautiful little homes.  Although Woodseer is most famous for its jodani and

ebonwood, the Rift Valley Jungle is filled with a wide variety of trees

providing a number of different woods for building.  Dark brown cocobola has

been used in the construction of a small home to the east.  The thin light

brown veins of the cocobola seem to shimmer in the sunlight making the home

appear to be made of marble rather than wood.  Fernwalk Lane continues to

the north toward some more brightly colored homes and south to a steep drop.

< 32h/162H 100v/101V Pos: standing >
Fernwalk Lane
   It appears that in some distant past the top of a mountain was somehow

sheared off and 'dropped' into the rift valley forming two plateaus on which

the halflings have built their small town.  One plateau below, which rests

above the western end of the Rift Valley Jungle, and one here on the remains of

the mountain.  A number of very colorful and beautiful homes can be seen

through the small trees and bushes on this higher plateau.  Ferns line the road

as it heads north and a narrow stairway leads down toward the lower plateau.

Obvious exits: -North -Down

On a Long Stairway
   The roof of a jodani wood building can be seen sticking out of the cliff

directly below and a number of trees and small buildings can be made out on the

plateau far below.  Water roars past to the west as it plummets over the edge

of the cliff above.  Though the waterfall is thin, the volume of water

streaking down toward the pool below appears to be more than enough to drag a

small boat with it.  The stairway continues upward toward another small plateau

and downward toward a building built in the face of the cliff.

Obvious exits: -Up -Down

< 33h/162H 100v/101V Pos: standing >
In Front of Ctenmir's
   A beautiful jodani wood building juts out of the cliff face here, heavy

black palm struts keep it from tumbling to the plateau below.  A sign over the

doorway says, "Ctenmir's Fine Goods" in several different languages.  It

appears half of the building must actually be built into the face of the

mountain, probably a natural opening or ledge of some sort.  Though it hangs

out into open space, fine construction and good design make the building quite

safe.  A narrow stairway leads further up toward a higher plateau and heads

downward toward the commercial part of Woodseer.

Obvious exits: -East -Up -Down

On a Long Stairway
   Halflings seem able to bounce down this stairway with no fear of tumbling

over the edge.  There are no guardrails of any sort here, a fall over the edge

would end with a gruesome landing on the rough rocks below.  The beautiful

plateau below is framed by a river that runs along the base of the mountains

and cliffs at its western and southern edges.  Lose rocks and boulders make up

a wide wall that encloses a large park below and to the east which is full of

so many bright flowers that the vibrant colors can be seen from here.  The

stairway continues upward toward a building that has been built into the side

of the cliff and downward toward the plateau.

Obvious exits: -Up -Down

Before a Long Stairway
   Pleasant ferns and flowers have been planted here at the base of a  long

stairway leading up to another small plateau.  Water spills over the edge of

the plateau above and falls into a small pool over to the west.  Large rocks

and prevent any travel toward the pool to the west and part of the cliff face

is to the east.  Fernwalk Lane continues to the south and the stairway leads

upward toward a small building built on the face of the cliff and beyond.

Obvious exits: -South -Up

A halfling guard patrols the streets keeping the peace.
A halfling adventurer wanders here humming to himself.

< 33h/162H 100v/101V Pos: standing >
Fernwalk Lane
   Tall thick ferns line the road as it heads north toward a long stairway and

as it continues south past a large boulder.  The side of a huge building blocks

all view of the east but a small pond and waterfall can be seen beyond the

small cottage to the west.  The cottage itself is made of beautiful lacewood.

Lacy veins in the light colored wood reflect the light and sparkling rainbows

from the waterfall further to the northwest making the home seem to glimmer.

An open doorway leads into the small cottage to the west and the road continues

to the north and south.

Obvious exits: -North -South -West

< 33h/162H 99v/101V Pos: standing >
Fernwalk Lane
   A tremendous boulder to the west blocks all view of the river beyond it and

the side of a huge building is to the east.  Heavy traffic and loud voices can

be heard from the southeast and the gentle sound of a waterfall can be heard

from somewhere beyond the boulder to the west.  Fernwalk Lane continues north

toward a long stairway that leads higher into the mountains and south toward a

four-way intersection.

A Four-Way Intersection
   Halfling merchants and tradesman hawk their wares along the major commercial

road in Woodseer, Petalrich Lane, which heads to the east past a pair of huge

jodani trees toward the Woodseer Gate.  River Circle travels beside some

cottages built along the river to the east and Fernwalk Lane heads north toward

a stone stairway that goes higher into the mountains and south toward another

intersection.

Petalrich Lane
   Beautiful flowers line the road here before the huge building to the north

that houses the meetings of the Woodseer High Council to the north and chief

councilor Eruffu's home to the south.  The meeting hall to the north is a truly

immense building by halfling standards, most meeting rooms of such size are

made in large burrows to save on time and money.  Petalrich Lane ends at a

four-way intersection to the west and continues west toward the Woodseer gates.

The door to a large home is to the south and an open doorway leads into the

Woodseer High Council meeting hall.

   A small nondescript cottage to the south has been carefully tucked against

the base of the large jodani tree immediately to the east of it.  A much larger

home to the north has been made with a variety of rare and expensive woods

flaunting the wealth of its owner.  Flowers have been planted along the smooth

cobblestone road adding color and beautiful aromas to the area.  Halfling

townsmen of all occupations travel back and forth along the road which

continues to the east and west.

   Some of the boulders and rocks in the wall surrounding the park to the north

have been pushed aside to make room for the Woodseer bank which has been built

entirely of heavy black palm.  Guards and heavily armored adventurers travel in

and out of the open doorway into the large jodani tree to the south.  A sign

above the doorway to the south reads "Leelon's and The Golden Hammer".

Apparently, both a bar and a store of some sort lie within.  The pleasant road

continues east and west along long flower beds.

   The wide entrance to the park north of here beckons to be used.  Narrow

paths lead through a variety of plants and flowers through a beautiful peaceful

setting.  Just to the south is a fine clothing store offering everything from

fine shirts to leather work-boots and armor.  Along the sides of the

cobblestone road small narrow flower beds have been planted with a variety of

beautiful flowers.  The flower-lined road continues to the east and west, and

an entrance to the park is to the north.  A doorway leads into a clothing shop

to the south.

Petalrich Lane
   Traffic is heavy as people move back and forth down the road, it seems like

the slight movement of each person passing by causes the flowers along the road

to release even more of their sweet perfume.  North of here is a wide entrance

into a large beautiful park that seems abuzz with small children and all forms

of wildlife.  It is easy to see that the park ends to the north in a steep

rocky incline that leads up into the mountains.  Some sort of rock slide once

buried the park but someone has spent a great deal of time and effort moving

the largest boulders and rocks to the edges of the park creating a wall.  South

of here an open doorway leading into the base of the tall jodani tree that

houses the Quivering Leaf Inn and Restaurant.  The flower-lined road

continues to the east and west.

Obvious exits: -North -East -South -West

Petalrich Lane
   The smooth cobblestones of Petalrich Lane lead both east and west along long

flower beds that have been created beside the road.  Based on the heavy traffic

this must be the major business area of Woodseer.  A wall of lose rocks and

boulders to the north blocks the way into the large Woodseer park.  A doorway

to the south enters a large building built in the shade of a nearby jodani

tree.  A sign over the doorway announces the store as, "Buzzle's Supplies

and Fine Goods".  Slightly west of here is a wide opening into a huge park

and a doorway in a tall jodani tree across from it.

Petalrich Lane and Vinestrong Way
   Immediately inside the gates, Petalrich Lane intersects with Vinestrong Way.

Vinestrong Way leads north and south along the Woodseer wall and Petalrich Lane

leads west through Woodseer.  A stone wall surrounds a huge park to the

northwest and a number of halflings can be seen going in and out of Woodseer's

more popular stores and restaurants to the west.

Obvious exits: -North -East -South -West

< 34h/162H 95v/101V Pos: standing >
Inside the Woodseer Gates
   Rusty gates are propped open here, obviously not in use for quite a long

time.  It seems the halflings either aren't terribly worried about invasion or

are a bit lazy when it comes to upkeep.  Guards patrol the wall above and the

area of the gates watching everyone with more amusement and curiosity than

caution.  An intersection of cobblestone roads can be seen to the west and a

narrow landing is to the east through the open gates.

Obvious exits: -East -West
Fresh blood splatters cover the area.
A young duck searches for food here.
Graeme stands here ready to spar with anyone foolish enough to try him.

< 34h/162H 94v/101V Pos: standing >
Outside the Woodseer Gates
   Cracked but sturdy looking stone stairs lead down from this tiny landing to

the jungle valley below.  A narrow passage through the Woodseer gates to the

west leads into a thriving halfling city.  Stone walls, in need of repair,

extend along the top of the cliff to the north and south creating an almost

unnecessary addition to the steep cliff face to defend Woodseer from any

invasion. Halfling merchants can be heard hawking their wares and children can

be heard laughing from the other side of the stone walls.

On a Stone Stairway
   It is a good thing that halflings don't have any fear of heights.  This

cracked stone stairway is extremely narrow and there are no guardrails to be

seen.  The drop down to the valley below would be swift, and most likely end in

a quick and painless death.  Stone walls can be seen along the top of the

cliff above and a thin waterfall plummets over the edge of the cliff to the

south.  Cracked stone stairs, in dire need of repair, lead down toward the

jungle valley below and climb up to Woodseer.

Obvious exits: -Up -Down

< 35h/162H 99v/101V Pos: standing >
On a Stone Stairway
   There are no guardrails to keep one from falling off these narrow stone

steps and making a gruesome fall to the base of the cliffs over 200 hundred

feet below.  All the same, the agile halflings bounce up and down this stairway

with little worry of falling over the edge.  To the south a thin waterfall can

be seen diving over the edge of the cliff into a small pond by the jungle far

below.  Stone stairs rise up toward Woodseer and head down to meet the valley

below.

Obvious exits: -Up -Down

< 35h/162H 100v/101V Pos: standing >
On a Stone Stairway
   A guardrail would be very nice at this point.  The narrow stairway can only

fit two people abreast and is almost 150 feet above the ground now.  It is easy

to see that this stairway was originally built with security and not safety in

mind.  The only way to attack Woodseer would be to climb the steep rocky

cliff to the north and south or to come up this stairway, either of which are

easy to defend.  Stairs lead up to Woodseer and down toward the jungle below.

Obvious exits: -Up -Down

< 35h/162H 99v/101V Pos: standing >
On a Stone Stairway
   Two people can travel abreast on this narrow stairway.  The stones are well

worn by the passage of many feet and are very sturdy, but there are no

guardrails to prevent someone from falling over the edge.  At this height one

can see down into the lower branches of some of the trees to the east.  Tree

branches throughout the jungle below and to the east are alive with birds and

monkeys as well as other creatures that are not as easy to identify.  The

stairway continues up toward the Woodseer plateau and down to the jungle.

Obvious exits: -Up -Down

A Trade Path Heading into a Ravine
   This narrow trade path heads down into a ravine that makes a sharp drop

down into the hills to the north.  The steep descent shows that what appear to

be unassuming hills here must become some fairly imposing mountains further to

the north.  A number of small juniper bushes and a few small trees dot this

area as the path heads south toward a small forest clearing.  Dank, humid air

seems to struggle its way out of the ravine to the north, where the narrow path

makes its steep descent, but otherwise this area is quite peaceful and calm.

Obvious exits: -West -Up -Down

Moves
=========================================
The term moves refers to how many movement points your character has.  Movement points regenerate slowly but can be replaced through vigorizing spells or movement regeneration spells.  Terrain will have an effect on how many moves it takes to travel from place to place.

Zones
=========================================
The majority of the Duris world is made up of different areas commonly
called "zones". Within these zones, a variety of things can be found, they
are filled with mobs, equipment and numerous other things. A set theme 
normally follows within each zone, created by the zone builder, and there 
several different level ranges a zone is intended for. Before exploring, it 
might be wise to type "credits".

A Trade Path Heading into a Ravine
   This narrow trade path heads down into a ravine that makes a sharp drop

down into the hills to the north.  The steep descent shows that what appear to

be unassuming hills here must become some fairly imposing mountains further to

the north.  A number of small juniper bushes and a few small trees dot this

area as the path heads south toward a small forest clearing.  Dank, humid air

seems to struggle its way out of the ravine to the north, where the narrow path

makes its steep descent, but otherwise this area is quite peaceful and calm.

Obvious exits: -West -Up -Down
A large wooden sign stands here.
A halfling cleric stands here smiling at everything around her.
One of the few mages in the Woodseer guard helps keep watch here.
