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.

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

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.

Here the main path to Aravne has taken a slight detour around a huge

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.

The Caravan Unloading Zone
Here is where incoming and outgoing trading caravans load and unload
there valueable supplies. High above several wooden structures can be seen
built in the branches of the giant tree, and it appears that there are
even more buildings and bridges high above those. One of the structures way
above seems to have a square hole cut in the middle of the floor, through
which a long steel cable dangles. A wooden platform hangs at the end of
the cable, loaded with supplies which are being pulled upwards toward the hole.
Stacks of boxes and crates are piled haphazardly in a semicircle around the
amazing lifts landing place, with more being added constantly. Several full
wagons are preparing for final departure, while several others are still in
the process of switching incoming and outgoing cargo. The area reeks of sweat,
and the sounds of grunting workers mixed with the occasional annoying bark of
an order fills the clearing. Occasionally, a group of workers head off toward
the starway up the tree to the west, speaking loudly of intoxication and of
general mayem.

behold by city nobles are done at this level. Wooden structures
spiderweb into the lower branches in every direction to the north, looking
both spectacular in inginuity and confusing in actuality at the same time. A
spiral staircase winds down along the trunk of the tree to the forest
floor, while a broad platform extends out from the top of the steps. Skyways,

this marketplace is bustling with business. The lack of local tarrifs or
taxes on trade here has resulted in a wonderous marketplace filled with free
enterprise. Instead of large and well established shops, the bulk of the
market is made up of fast dealing salesman who both buy and sell wares to make
their living. A crafty and shrewd business mind could thrive in this place,

On the Great Stairway
Made of long Aravne planks, this stairway follows the curve of one of
the giant trees as it makes its way toward the main sprawl of Aravne above.
One of the oldest standing structures is the entire city, the stairway was at
one time rumored to be wide enough for fifty ogres to walk it standing
side by side. Now, however, it is not even possible to tell how it was once
attached to the side of the tree, as the tree has slowly overgrown the entire
inner side of the stair.

This upper landing marks the top end of the Great Stairway. To

up the main sprawl of Aravne. Although it narrows considerably

carefully over the crowd passing by, while several lawbreakers are visibly

The Grand Skyway
The widest skyway in all of aravne, this is the main route through the
center of Aravne. Due to its size and the weight it must support, it takes
a rather windy route northward through the wide central branches of the great
Aravne trees. Just to the north it takes an eastward detour around one
of the gigantic tree trunks before following one of the wide branches that
stretches out northwards.

The Grand Skyway
Here the Grand Skyway takes a slight eastward detour as it curves
around the trunk of a giant Aravne tree. The wooden floor actually has a
slight hump to it here, as it passes over one of the massive branches leading
away from the trunk in an eastward direction. Once over the hump the skyway
again leads off to the north, following the course of another of the huge
branches which support this amazing structure.

The Grand Skyway
Here the skyway follows a northerly branch as it makes its way deeper
into the city. Just ahead lies the southern intersection of Merchants
Way, which branches off into an amazingly dense section of Aravne trees.
Beyond that, not much can be made out due to the thickness of branches which
wind their way in every possible direction and are every possible thickness.

Intersection of Merchants Way and The Grand Skyway
Here the main skyway of Aravne comes to its first southern intersection.
A relatively smaller branch (only the thickness of a small house) crosses over
the top of the giant branch which supports The Grand Skyway, and heads
off into the thick tangle of trees and branches to the west. While the main
skyway rises over the branch and continues northward, a smaller skyway curves
to the west here, and becomes Merchants Way.

The Grand Skyway
As the branch supporting this massive skyway begins to curve downward
here, either on its own initiative or as a result of the weight of the giant
skyway and a few hundred years, the skyway does not follow it. Instead, a
mass of wooden structural beams have been built one on top of the other, on
top of which the skyway continues to the north at a more level pace, where
just ahead it intersects another massive branch which heads northwest.

Intersection of The Grand Skyway and Home Avenue
Here the pier-like structure supporting the skyway meets up with another
of the massive main Aravne branches, and turns to the northwest to follow
the natural support provided by it. An east leading side branch provides the
support for a smaller skyway, known as Home Avenue, which leads off into
the dense chaos of branches that makes up this altitude of the Aravne Forest.

Home Avenue
This skyway is perhaps the most confusing path on Aravne, as it winds
its way through makeshift houses nestled here within the tangle of giant
branches. Sometimes the walkway has turns within turns, rising and falling as
it weaves its way over, under, around, and through the tangle of foliage. Its
construction was not planned like many of the other skyways, but instead just
evolved as more and more residents moved into the area. The only possible way
to determine direction and location on this path is through total memorization.

An Aravne Home
This treehouse residence looks very cozy and safe. Nestled here within
the branches, it is made completely of strong Aravne wood. A fireplace sits
in the center of the living area surrounded by leafstone. The beds are
hammocks suspended from rungs in the ceiling, and look extremely comfortable.
Entrance and exit to the treehouse can be made through various holes cut in the
walls, instead of a single doorway as most landside homes are likely to have.
Light is reflected into the dwelling from panels of large shiny leaves which
are suspended near the windows, reflecting ambient light into the living area.
Glass baubles filled with glowing bugs also hang from the ceiling, providing
an eerie light during the night hours.
