A Commoner's Dwelling
This is just a simple commoners dwelling. Though each of them
are furnished differently, they all offer the same basic layout and
build. They all have been constructed solid oak, and lie just off
the road. Most of the citizens that live here in these dwellings
are loggers, and come home only to sleep, as most of their leisure
time is spent at the Lustful Logger. The furnishings are usually
kept to a minimum, as there isn't that much room, despite that fact
though, most of the commoners of Desolate are quite happy with each
of their homes.

Royal Oak Way
This road runs south from the central fountain in Desolate, and
like Evergreen Way it runs parallel the village wall on the eastern
edge. Though Desolate isn't that large of a village it is often
quite busy, and many travellers come here not only to rest and
relax but to spend their money in the small Desolate Market, which
is found down this road. This road as well has been laid with
special glyphs to prevent magic from being cast. The fountain
lies just to the north.

The Desolate Market
This is the Desolate Market Place. It is one of the busier
locations within the village, and just as the Lustful Logger pub
gets the majority of the citizens of Desolate, the market place
gets very many tourists, delegates, and adventurers. Most everyone
will stop by the market place at least once during a trip to
Desolate, even just to browse the vendors. Rare items from all
over the world often end up here and most of the time the merchants
themselves don't even know what they are trying to sell. These
vendors are legendary for their bartering skills, and from far
and wide people come to gape in awe at pretty little worthless
trinkets, to powerfully enchanted potions and items.

Royal Oak Way
This road runs south from the central fountain in Desolate, and
like Evergreen Way it runs parallel the village wall on the eastern
edge. Though Desolate isn't that large of a village it is often
quite busy, and many travellers come here not only to rest and
relax but to spend their money in the small Desolate Market, which
is found down this road. This road as well has been laid with
special glyphs to prevent magic from being cast. The Barracks,
a special house built for the private use of the local militia
is just to the west.

The Desolate Barracks
This is the barracks of Desolate, where most the members of the
militia come to sleep and eat when they aren't working. The regulars
that come here are usually the lower ranking soldiers, as the
more important members of the militia have their own homes some
where within the village. The room has several bunks in it, each
with two beds. A large table serves as a place where the men
gather to eat thier meals sits in the center of the room. The
door to the east leads back out to Royal Oak Way.

The Fountain of Desolate
Here lies the central fountain of Desolate. It acts as a sort
of landmark for those new to the city, and for those who have been
at the Lustful Logger too long and are having a hard time finding
their way home. The log wall that is built around the city is
just to east, and runs parallel the road that runs north and south
from here. Main Street leads back to the gates, heading to the
west. The fountain's water flows crisp and clean here, providing
drinking water to the entire population. The designs etched on the
marble seem to be of elven origin.

Main Street
The main street of Desolate runs straight east from the village
gates until a fountain splits the path in a north and south direction.
The street is made from packed gravel and all along side it are
oak buildings. Special glyphs placed over the main streets here
prevent the use of magic, as the mayor predicts it keeps trouble out
as well. Patrol guards who roam the city, also do their best to
keep the arcane arts out. The mayor's own mansion lies just to the
north here, with a large oaken door labeled with the crest of Desolate.

The Gates of Desolate
Here lie the gates to the fine village of Desolate. Just above
the gates are a pair of watch towers that rise up just above the
treeline of the forest and serve both as archery posts and lookout
stations. The gates, like the wall and the majority of the village
itself is all made from oak timber, thick strong wood, perfect
for buildings. There is a sign just above the gates that reads:
No Magic Allowed Within City Proper.
One would expect that the several guards on post here at the gates
would most likely enforce the law of the sign. North and South lead
up to the watch towers, while east leads into the village itself.

part of the road is quite lively, full of travellers, citizens of
Desolate, and the local patrol militia. To the north a trail
begins leading into the forest, though it doesn't appear to be
as well used at the gravel road one is currently on, it still
