The Quivering Leaf Inn
A receptionists desk marks the entrance to a number of the fine rooms that
have been created throughout the tree. All of the walls shine with the
lustrous red hue of highly polished jodani wood. It is said that there are
rooms large enough to accommodate even the largest of barbarians from the
north, if they can pay the rate. All of the rooms in the Quivering Leaf
are well-furnished with the most comfortable of beds and pleasant chairs so
that travelers always wake well-rested. Special guards ensure that each guest,
and their belongings will be safe, at least until they leave their rooms. A
staircase leads down into one of the finest restaurants in the land, and a
small doorway to the east enters a tiny reading room.

Quivering Leaf Restaurant
The interior of the tree has been hollowed out and polished to a lustrous
shine. Solid ebonwood tables and chairs are spread out evenly through the
room, fine linens and china are at every place setting. The Quivering
Leaf serves fine food at, er, fine prices, but it is worth every penny.
Well-dressed waiters are ready to seat the customers and take their orders.
Even at off-times the restaurant is crowded, and on holidays there are lines
out the door because the Quivering Leaf accepts no reservations. A small
stairway leads down to a well-lit bar and another stairway leads up to the inn.

Petalrich Lane
Traffic is heavy as people move back and forth down the road, it seems like
the slight movement of each person passing by causes the flowers along the road
to release even more of their sweet perfume. North of here is a wide entrance
into a large beautiful park that seems abuzz with small children and all forms
of wildlife. It is easy to see that the park ends to the north in a steep
rocky incline that leads up into the mountains. Some sort of rock slide once
buried the park but someone has spent a great deal of time and effort moving
the largest boulders and rocks to the edges of the park creating a wall. South
of here an open doorway leading into the base of the tall jodani tree that
houses the Quivering Leaf Inn and Restaurant. The flower-lined road
continues to the east and west.

The smooth cobblestones of Petalrich Lane lead both east and west along long
flower beds that have been created beside the road. Based on the heavy traffic
this must be the major business area of Woodseer. A wall of lose rocks and
boulders to the north blocks the way into the large Woodseer park. A doorway
to the south enters a large building built in the shade of a nearby jodani
tree. A sign over the doorway announces the store as, "Buzzle's Supplies
and Fine Goods". Slightly west of here is a wide opening into a huge park
and a doorway in a tall jodani tree across from it.

Inside the Woodseer Gates
Rusty gates are propped open here, obviously not in use for quite a long
time. It seems the halflings either aren't terribly worried about invasion or
are a bit lazy when it comes to upkeep. Guards patrol the wall above and the
area of the gates watching everyone with more amusement and curiosity than
caution. An intersection of cobblestone roads can be seen to the west and a
narrow landing is to the east through the open gates.

Outside the Woodseer Gates
Cracked but sturdy looking stone stairs lead down from this tiny landing to
the jungle valley below. A narrow passage through the Woodseer gates to the
west leads into a thriving halfling city. Stone walls, in need of repair,
extend along the top of the cliff to the north and south creating an almost
unnecessary addition to the steep cliff face to defend Woodseer from any
invasion. Halfling merchants can be heard hawking their wares and children can
be heard laughing from the other side of the stone walls.

On a Stone Stairway
It is a good thing that halflings don't have any fear of heights. This
cracked stone stairway is extremely narrow and there are no guardrails to be
seen. The drop down to the valley below would be swift, and most likely end in
a quick and painless death. Stone walls can be seen along the top of the
cliff above and a thin waterfall plummets over the edge of the cliff to the
south. Cracked stone stairs, in dire need of repair, lead down toward the
jungle valley below and climb up to Woodseer.

On a Stone Stairway
There are no guardrails to keep one from falling off these narrow stone
steps and making a gruesome fall to the base of the cliffs over 200 hundred
feet below. All the same, the agile halflings bounce up and down this stairway
with little worry of falling over the edge. To the south a thin waterfall can
be seen diving over the edge of the cliff into a small pond by the jungle far
below. Stone stairs rise up toward Woodseer and head down to meet the valley
below.

A guardrail would be very nice at this point. The narrow stairway can only
fit two people abreast and is almost 150 feet above the ground now. It is easy
to see that this stairway was originally built with security and not safety in
mind. The only way to attack Woodseer would be to climb the steep rocky
cliff to the north and south or to come up this stairway, either of which are
easy to defend. Stairs lead up to Woodseer and down toward the jungle below.

Two people can travel abreast on this narrow stairway. The stones are well

guardrails to prevent someone from falling over the edge. At this height one
can see down into the lower branches of some of the trees to the east. Tree
branches throughout the jungle below and to the east are alive with birds and
monkeys as well as other creatures that are not as easy to identify. The
stairway continues up toward the Woodseer plateau and down to the jungle.

A Trade Path Heading into a Ravine
This narrow trade path heads down into a ravine that makes a sharp drop
down into the hills to the north. The steep descent shows that what appear to
be unassuming hills here must become some fairly imposing mountains further to
the north. A number of small juniper bushes and a few small trees dot this
area as the path heads south toward a small forest clearing. Dank, humid air
seems to struggle its way out of the ravine to the north, where the narrow path
makes its steep descent, but otherwise this area is quite peaceful and calm.

On a Trade Path in a Narrow Ravine
It is fortunate that this path is well-kept because it is quite steep here
and a poorly kept path could cause problems for merchant carts and wagons.
Steep rocky hills extend upward to the sides of the path, making it seem quite
cramped and uncomfortable, yet also offering a great deal of protection by
making it impossible for thieves to set up any ambushes here. The path
continues down toward a deep valley and heads upward toward a small forest
clearing.

On a Trade Path in a Narrow Ravine
The small hills that surround this narrow path rise up so steeply that the
path seems trapped within them. Even stranger is the fact that the path drops
down so rapidly that what appear to be small, though rocky, hills from this
point appear to surround a very deep valley that is far, far below. The path
continues its climb upward and heads downward to eventually lead to Woodseer.

On a Trade Path in a Narrow Ravine
This steep path seems to plummet downward as it heads into the Rift Valley
Jungle to the north, and makes a steep climb up to the south. Despite the
steep grade of the trade path, it has been kept quite smooth and easy to
travel. It is clear that the halflings that live in Woodseer next to the Rift
Valley Jungle want to insure that traders and merchants can find their way to
their fine city.

Imposing rock walls thrust upward along the sides of the narrow path. The
path itself is quite smooth and, though the grade is steep, is relatively
easy to climb. More heavily used than many paths of this type this trade
route is kept relatively safe by the sheer rock walls that surround it. It
is also clear that the mountains that appear so huge from this low vantage
point, must have been created at the same time as the deep valley below. The
trade path continues upward to the south and heads down toward the Rift Valley
Jungle to the north.

On a Trade Path in a Narrow Ravine
Walls of jagged rock surround this narrow ravine and the trade path that
runs through it. Merchants doing business with Woodseer must risk traveling
alongside the jungle in the valley below but that part of the journey is kept
relatively safe by the halfling scouts and sentries that have been posted
along the road. This part of the trip though is somewhat tedious and boring.
Steep rock walls and the surrounding mountains block out the direct sunlight
at all but high noon making the trip gloomy and depressing, however, by the
same token, those same high walls keep the narrow path safe from thieves and
other more dangerous creatures.

A Trade Path Cut From the Jungle
Jungle vegetation of all forms has been cleared away from this point to
create a safer passage into and out of the narrow gorge that rises out of
the valley to the south. This trade path is well-guarded by halfling scouts
and sentries that do there best to keep it safe. The halfling city of
Woodseer is dependant upon the trade that this path provides and pay for all
of its upkeep. The trade path continues to the north along a rock-lined pool
as it heads toward Woodseer, and south where it enters a narrow ravine that
climbs out of the valley. The jungle can be entered to the east, for those
foolish enough to want that type of adventure.

A narrow trade path has been carved from the jungle here, allowing
relatively safe passage to the halfling city of Woodseer. A number of stern-
looking halfling scouts can be seen wandering along the road, and through the
jungle helping to keep the road free of the dangerous creatures that make the
jungle their home. A huge waterfall to the west feeds the deep rock-lined
pool below, splashing water even out as far as this point as it plummets
downward. The trade path continues to the north where it bends around the
pool to run along the base of the cliff to the west, and to the south where
it begins to climb out of the valley through a narrow gorge. The stench of the
jungle wafts in from the east, with a smell as dark and foreboding as the
jungle itself.

A trade path has been cleared from the jungle, which looms threateningly

around a deep rock-lined pool to the southwest. A tremendous cliff further
to the west forms a impressive defensive wall for the small city of Woodseer
that has been built on the plateau above it. A thin waterfall shatters into
millions of small water droplets as it slaps the jagged rocks of the cliff
face to the southwest until the water finally comes to rest in the deep pool
that can be seen below it. The trade path continues to the south and west.

A Young Jungle
A bit more light than usual seeps in here during the daylight hours due to
the clearing to the south and the low wall of lose rocks to the west.
Everything about this spot smells of death though, and the close proximity of
the road to Woodseer doesn't provide much consolation. Dark green leaves and
stems look even darker here, taking on an almost black cast to them. The
occasional bright red and yellow flowers add some color to the
forest, but they don't make it feel any safer. This part of the Rift Valley
Jungle is quite young, something must have cleared the jungle some time ago
because all of the growth here appears to be less than twenty years old.
Despite its youth, the jungle grows quickly, and the dank air here already
smells of the rot and decay that helps sustain the huge trees of older rain
forests. The jungle continues to the north and east, and there is some sort
of cleared path to the south.
