Petalrich Lane
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.

caution. An intersection of cobblestone roads can be seen to the west and a

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.

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.

On a Stone Stairway
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

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.

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

continues its climb upward and heads downward to eventually lead to Woodseer.

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.

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.

Walls of jagged rock surround this narrow ravine and the trade path that

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.

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.

that has been built on the plateau above it. A thin waterfall shatters into

Tales of the dark foreboding nature of the Rift Valley Jungle seem a bit
overblown here, but it must be remembered that this part of the jungle is
quite young. At some time in the past the jungle here must have been cleared

brightly colored birds fly overhead, hunting for fruit or insects, and the
loud cries of something becoming an unwilling meal can be heard penetrating

Above a Frothing River
As one hangs in mid-air here, beautiful jungle flowers and plants can be
seen lining both sides of the deep ravine immediately below. A swift,
churning river drops deeper and deeper into the ground until it finally drops
into a hole in the mountains to the south. The river flows so quickly that
even the most powerful fish would have problems swimming in its torrid current,
anyone unfortunate enough to fall into the river is unlikely to ever leave it,
alive.

Above a River in the Rift Valley Jungle
Immediately to the west the jungle ends abruptly at the edge of a steep
gorge where the sounds of a swift-flowing river can be heard echoing upward.
The vegetation here is thick and snarled, hanging out even over the edge of the
ravine to try to soak up as much sunlight as it can. This very thickness,
combined with the violence of the river below make it somewhat difficult to
know exactly where the edge of the ravine is, and make falling into it a
definite possibility. Across the gorge, the lip of the ravine is cloaked in
greenery, there are even large roots that stretch downward along the jagged
rocks to drink from the rapidly flowing river.

Deep in the Rift Valley Jungle
In some nearby spots the jungle canopy lets through enough light to grow
some spectacular plants, here though, the plants rely on those above them to
supply them with nutrients. Several large bromeliards lie on the jungle floor
here, spreading their massive petals to create small pools of water that
provide life to many other creatures in the forest. Most of the creatures here
feed on the rotting leaves, branches, and fruit that have fallen from the
canopy above, others feed on each other or on the living trees themselves.
Yes, in the deep jungle even plants are parasites, and predators, in the combat
for survival no trick shall remain unused.

Deep in the Rift Valley Jungle
Someone has stripped all the vines away from the southern face of a large
osage tree here. On the barren face of the tree a delicate carving has been
started. Though unfinished, the craftsmanship is remarkable, far beyond the
talents of a normal woodworker. Few creatures appear to venture here, seeming
to almost deliberately shy away from the area, making it seem deceptively quiet
and safe.

Deep in the Rift Valley Jungle
The simple word 'darkness' has a new meaning here. Strange odors, mixtures
of the rot and decay of the jungle floor and the sweet smelling flowers that
dot even this gloomy area, add the scent and taste of mystery to the darkness.
Cries of animals seep through the humid air, some familiar, others so spine-
tingling that they reach down into one's soul and tickle at some primal,
unidentifiable fear. Though some vague light does reach the down this far
when the sun is at its highest, it simply creates more shades of darkness to
cloak the creatures that travel here. Bards sing tales of lost cities, and
great adventures in places like this, but the tales of this jungle are few, and
it is easy to see why, few are hearty enough to withstand a darkness such as
this.

Deep in the Rift Valley Jungle
A dense canopy created by the treetops high above lets very little, if any
light down to the jungle floor, making it relatively easy to travel through.
Dense jungle growth described in bard's tales is really only at the edges of
the jungle, where light can pass through to the ground. It is clear that the
fancy bards that sing such tales have never truly experienced the deep jungle.
Tree trunks stretch into the heavens, as do various lianas and vines that cling
to them as they make their own way upward. Various parasitic flowers cling to
the lianas and tree trunks adding color for those actually able to see in this
paralyzing darkness.

Deep in the Rift Valley Jungle
The jagged cliffs that enclose this strange valley run along the south and
west, closing off all passage. Despite the gloom, a wide variety of plants and
fungi have found a way to grow down here on the jungle floor, most are small
though, and subsist on the life juices of the trees and vines that have found a
way to reach upward to the life-giving sunlight. The small flowers and
mushrooms that dot the exposed roots and trunks of the trees here add bright
splashes of color to the otherwise colorless world beneath the jungle canopy
above. Where there are plants there are animals, from tiny poisonous frogs to
massive tigers, and insects that vary from tiny gnats to unspeakable freaks of
nature and magic. The jungle continues to the north and west.

Deep in the Rift Valley Jungle
Small cave-like openings can be seen in the rough walls of the cliff to the
east, but they are far too small to house anything very large. Thick vines
cling to the rocks, as well as the many trees that stand here. Even strong,
magical lights can't provide enough illumination to get a good estimate of how
high up the lower canopy of the jungle really is. It is clear however, that
the canopy gathers all the light that hits it, refusing to let even a shred of
light penetrate to the darkness below.
