Beginning of Aravne Forest
Here is where the jungle ends and the giant forest begins. Here
the trees at the edge of the forest are simply very large. Farther in,
however, they grow to inconceivable heights allowable only by their innate
magic. The center of the forest is where the wonderous city of Aravne
can be found among the largest of the giant trees. It is rumored that in
the center of that great city stands the World tree, which is said to
touch the sky and the realm of the gods themselves. The path leads onward
toward the city to the north, and back into the jungle to the south.

Path Along the Forest Floor
Here the forest path continues northward toward the tree city of
Aravne. The path is fairly well traveled, although it is not until much
farther to the north that the safety of the city patrol boundary can be
reached. For this reason, caravans laden with valuable goods from faraway
lands often push onward after leaving the jungle until they reach safety
to the north. Rumors of bandits and theives have become minor legends
throughout the area, and are taken very seriously by those who travel here.

Path Approaching a Small Clearing
The forest path approaches a small clearing to the north. Although
the forest floor here has seen nothing but shadows for countless millenia,
rays of light penetrate nearly to the forest floor up ahead. It is not
apparent from here what may have caused the clearing up ahead, but after days
of travel through the dark jungle it looks like a tempting place to
rest.

A Clearing in the Forest
Here the forest path opens into a large clearing. Athough here
the shadows which normally cloak the forest floor abate slightly, the
choking amount of leaves and needles which cover the ground still prevent any
grass from gaining a foothold here. Hundreds of feet up, a small patch of sky
can be seen between the giant treetops. It looks as though many caravans
have stopped here to rest, and also like there has been an attempt to cover up
some signs of some sort of activity. To the north, the path continues to wind
between the trunks of the huge trees.

A Pathway Further into Aravne Forest
Here the pathway continues deeper into Aravne Forest to the north. South
along the pathway seems to lie a small, inviting clearing. The bases of the
trees are growing larger and larger as the path leads ever deeper into
the ancient forest. Many of them here are already wider than what ten
ogres could form a ring around, and must be tens of centuries old.

A Junction of the Main Path
Here the main path seems to come to a small junction of sorts. While the
main path continues north and south through the forest, a small side path
leads off to the east. The side path looks as though it was once hidden, but
has now been recently enlarged. How or why this has happened is unknown.

Main Path Along the Forest Floor
The trees here are beginning to grow larger, with many of the bases
larger around than a house. It is hard to see farther than a stones throw in
any direction now due to the thickening forest. The path begins to take
more and more of a winding course as it leads thicker into Aravne forest,
twisting throughout the gigantic trees.

Split in the Path at a Giant Rock
Here the path takes a sudden split, as a huge boulder lies imbedded
into the forest floor to the north. Judging by the mass of the stone at its
base, a good half of it probably lies below the ground. The origional path
is blocked by the boulder, and a pair of new paths have been forged to either
side of it. The path leading out of the forest lead back to the south.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
