The Brawling Foot Inn
   A few chairs are missing their legs. Some minotaurs have belt the need to
bash another more annoying cow with them, more than one table is splintered
along its edges also, with a few broken in two. The tavern was constructed in
a square shape with the business counter and meat room on the western wing. On
the southern section, a gigantic, elevated, flat, tap floor was constructed.
Dried pools of blood are visible atop of it. Its purpose, to provide ample
entertainment so the customers don't get too rowdy. Many war prisoners come
here to be named guest of honor and then they have the luxury of being beaten
to death by the members of the audience.

Small Cobblestone Road
   The small cobblestones that have been laid some time ago to create this
road are paved and provide an easy traversing. Wheels glide over this section
of the town quite easily one would think. The dirt off the side of the road
and in-between the cracks of the stones would often times become airborne by
the wind during the day. It would pick up ever so slightly and collide with
a traveler or a building of some sort. The wind when it does this makes a
sharply pitched noise, an eerie noise during the night. There are no poles,
no lanterns, nor any sort of evidence that this road is difficult to travel
during the night, unaccomplished travelers need not worry.

A Town Center
   This is the point where small roads intersect and go their separate
ways. Either of the roads were not finely made, but rather loosely put
together. The cobblestones that were used to construe them are evenly
paved and provide an smooth surface adequate for transporting caravans
and other various machines of war. Some lightly packed dirt on either
side of the trail and in-between the cobblestones look to have been
walked and trampled upon for many ages, hinting at the age of this
encampment. One would think that after such a time a town would prosper
into a city, that is not the cow's way however. Although they are not
the most savage and brutal race on Duris, they are by no means gentle, nor
are they stupid. In fact, most minotaurs possess a very intelligent mind,
if not sinister in nature. It is perfectly natural for these people to
live within small towns and seek refuge only within their own tribe.

A Cobblestone Intersection
   It is here that two roads converge to form an intersection. Both roads were
made of a cobblestone that seems to have been paved over the years by constant
walking upon by the cow's within this town. Caravans and machines of war have
no trouble traversing this intersection, for it is truly grand. A small forest
sits to the east and must have some sort of grove within it, for why would it
still be standing? Birds can be heard chirping from it and animals are sure to
reside there. Large buildings loom in any direction along either road. Toward
the west it seems as though there are residential buildings, while to the north
it would appear that many commercial and various buildings reside, and finally
to the south there are many different types of buildings.

A Path of Dirt
   Some little rocks are visible along this dirt road. Mud doesn't totally
eclipse them just yet, however, the once totally enveloping trail to the east
has transformed into something that of a road of rocks, paved rocks. These
rocks seem to be made of cobblestone and provide easy access for all of those
who wish to traverse it. Weathering seems to have no hold upon these rocks,
for they have truly survived the test of time. Brushes and large patches of
weeds lay on either side of the path, guarding the algae covered water. Dead
trees lay about the area, however, all are out of reach and lay in shallow
pools of water that makes up the swamp to the east.

A Muddy Trail
   Sounds of the town to the west fill the air. Everything in the swampy forest
to the east seems to stir stir ever so slightly when anyone enters their waste
land. Many types of tracks lay below in the muck, some of these tracks were
made by minotaurs, however, many were made by reptiles. Mud inhibits travelling
tand makes progress very difficult. On either side of the pathway of mud lay
the dead swamp aspect of the area. Water envelopes most of the swamp forest's
ground, with a large number of standing and fallen trees alike. Back to the
west, a cobblestone road opens up and leads toward the town.

suppose, simply because nearly all of the flesh has rotten away exposing the
skull underneath. Flies swarm the area, small ponds of water alongside many
dead tress outline the area. Below, the ground is very soggy, the muck slows
progress to nearly a standstill. A small path opens up to the west, which
leads toward civilization.

   The wet mud and pools of water have been overgrown here by thick reeds,
which blanket the ground with their wide leaves and heavy stems. The endless
drone of buzzing insects fills the air, along with the stench of moist mud
and decaying undergrowth. Deep pools of peat moss make travel dangerous their
depths threatening to engulf anyone foolish enough to stumble inside. A few
stunted trees can be seen dotting the area, though for the most part the reds
dominate everything in site.

A Muddy Trail through the Swamp
   A horrible stench fills the area, a stench resembling that of maneaur that
all cows drop. The plumbing from the town has to run somewhere, so why not
here. From the smell of it, every minotaur in the city must have dropped many
loads during his trip to the latrine. Most of the swamp is shallow, yet that
doesn't matter, progress is still very difficult. Atop of some dead trees,
the fallen ones, moss and a variety of plant life grow steadily. Only the
reptiles live within proximity of this smell, for what do they care.

   Small rocks are swallowed whole by the mud and the various weeds that
arbitrary grow here. Below, on the ground, there resembles something that once
could have been a road, but the vegetation alongside a lack of effort to
maintain it resulted in its erosion by the many elements that envelope the
swamp. Dead trees outline the parameter, with hordes of vines hanging from
them, which prohibits vision further. The wind makes a wheezing sound as it
passes through the vines and empty tree branches. A slight smell fills the
air, the smell of maneaur. It is very foul.
