Detour in the Main Path
  Here the main path to Aravne has taken a slight detour around a huge
boulder to the west.  To the north, it continues its winding treck toward
the tree city, disappearing into the mammoth wood.  Many of the ancient
trees here are covered in moss, and their first branches are nearly out of
sight they are so high up.

Main Path Approaching Aravne
  Here the main path begins to approach the largest of the giant trees,
which hold the tree city of Aravne itself.  Even from a distance,
the magnificence of these leviathans is breathtaking.  Still the very same
trees which began this forest, they are now unimaginably old and incredibly
large.  The first of these primordial giants is directly north along the trail,
and blocks most of the rest of the forest ahead behind its massive width.

Before the Entry Tree of Aravne
  Here the path comes to an end before one of the primordial trees upon
which the tree city of Aravne begins.  The base of this old tree is
so wide, that it would take several minutes to walk around to the side of it
and catch a glimpse in the northernly direction.  An worn but sturdy wooden
staircase begins here, and winds its way up and around the trunk to the lowest
level of the city.

Path to the Forest Undercity
   Here the path leads west around the massive city entry tree, and
curves with the trunk slowly northward.  Strange patches of rot and disease
can be seen on the side of this massive tree, extremely unusual for something
which has lived for so long healthily.  Perhaps there is a reason this part of
the forest the path leads to is now restricted.

Entry to the Forest Undercity
   Here the path path around the giant tree completes its curve and heads
northward into the forest undercity.  Before you lie more of the incredibly
massive treetrunks, with a few narrow paths winding between them out of sight
to the north.  Very high above you, where the lowest branches of the trees
begin, wooden structures can be seen stretching out beyond any line of sight.
More patches of rot can be seen on the other trees to the north, and
this part of Aravne Forest does not seem nearly as peaceful or inviting as
the rest.

Path Through the Forest Undercity
   The forest is even darker here underneath the city of Aravne and the
gigantic trees it is built upon.  Occasionally a structure can be glimpsed
through the branches far above, branches which are larger than most trees
themselves.  Small patches of rot can be glimpsed on some of the treetrunks,
and there is a definite sense of foreboding here.

Inside the Forest Undercity
   Here the path leading north nears the limits of the Aravne Forest Guards
longbow range, evident by the large amount of spent arrows sticking in the
forest floor here.  Splashes of a dark, sticky dried gook stain many of the
fallen leaves which cover the ground here.  A few bones, gnawed and picked
clean by scavengers lie scattered about here.  To the north, the trunk of one
of the giant trees blocks any view of deeper into the forest.

Forest Undercity South of Battle Tree
   Here the path through the forest undercity splits at the base of an
aptly named Aravne tree that has been scarred by a recent skirmish which
must have been fought here.  The ground is covered with gnawed bones, both
humanoid and beast.  Several broken weapons, dented suits of armor, and
shredded leather garmets also litter the forest floor here.  The large amount
of blood spilled on this spot seems to have permanently discolored the
forest floor here, and the tree seems to have taken on a slightly more twisted,
wicked appearance.  Perhaps blood in the soil is not the preferred diet of
this giant tree.

Western Path Around Battle Tree
   Here the path up around Battle Tree curves slowly to the north
as it followes the massive arc of the aravne tree.  High above in the branches
marking the under canopy, glimpses of wooden structures can be seen.  Just
ahead to the north this path comes to an intersection.

Path Intersection South of the Dump Landing
   Here the path leading north from Battle Tree intersects with a second
path leading in from the east.  Continuing north, the main path seems to end
just ahead where two of the aravne trees grow only a wagons width apart from
each other.  The stench of rot and garbage wafts in from that direction,
evidence that the dump landing probably lies just beyond.

Twin Tree Gateway to the Dump Landing
   Here the path leads between two towering aravne trees, leaving barely
enough room for a wagon to pass between.  A makeshift wooden gate spans the
slight distance between the trunks, making this passage an easily defensible
position.  Beyond the gate to the north lies one of the most massive garbage
dumping site in all the realms, and a heaven for the thri-kreen tribe
which has claimed it as their property and home.

Southern Entry of the Dump Landing
   Just north of the southern gate and the twin trees which frame it, the
dump spans the entire northern arc of view.  Busy looking thri-kreen sift
through the garbage for usefull or possibly valueable items, garbage which
is replenished weekly when it is dumped from the city of Aravne above.  It
appears that, while most of the trash is allowed to pile up, the main pathways
through the dump are kept clear to aid travel.  It seems as though one
persons trash really is another persons treasure.

Western Half of Tired Traveler Way
   This section of the side path is remarkably clear of debris, perhaps due
to the fact that the structures facing it both north and south are constucted
completely from garbage.  The smell of cooking meat wafts in from the north
building, mingling with the stench of the dump with a rather nauseating
effect.

   Here the path leading north nears the limits of the Aravne Forest Guards
longbow range, evident by the large amount of spent arrows sticking in the
forest floor here.  Splashes of a dark, sticky dried gook stain many of the
fallen leaves which cover the ground here.  A few bones, gnawed and picked
clean by scavengers lie scattered about here.  To the north, the trunk of one
of the giant trees blocks any view of deeper into the forest.

Path Through the Forest Undercity
   The forest is even darker here underneath the city of Aravne and the
gigantic trees it is built upon.  Occasionally a structure can be glimpsed
through the branches far above, branches which are larger than most trees
themselves.  Small patches of rot can be glimpsed on some of the treetrunks,
and there is a definite sense of foreboding here.

Entry to the Forest Undercity
   Here the path path around the giant tree completes its curve and heads
northward into the forest undercity.  Before you lie more of the incredibly
massive treetrunks, with a few narrow paths winding between them out of sight
to the north.  Very high above you, where the lowest branches of the trees
begin, wooden structures can be seen stretching out beyond any line of sight.
More patches of rot can be seen on the other trees to the north, and
this part of Aravne Forest does not seem nearly as peaceful or inviting as
the rest.

Path to the Forest Undercity
   Here the path leads west around the massive city entry tree, and
curves with the trunk slowly northward.  Strange patches of rot and disease
can be seen on the side of this massive tree, extremely unusual for something
which has lived for so long healthily.  Perhaps there is a reason this part of
the forest the path leads to is now restricted.

Before the Entry Tree of Aravne
  Here the path comes to an end before one of the primordial trees upon
which the tree city of Aravne begins.  The base of this old tree is
so wide, that it would take several minutes to walk around to the side of it
and catch a glimpse in the northernly direction.  An worn but sturdy wooden
staircase begins here, and winds its way up and around the trunk to the lowest
level of the city.
