A Small Pathway
   The rocky pathway continues here heading up to a large city in the near
distance.  The city to the north is marked by its varying skyline of towers
and the city wall.  Many guards can been seen on their posts from this path.
There are a variety of animals roaming about here in search of food to satisfy
their appetites.  The pathway continues north and south through the surrouding
shrubbery.

   The pathway leads closer to a large city. High black city walls surround
this city called the Shady Grove. Along the city wall, there appear to be
many sentries observing the city and near by surroundings. Along side of this

Before the Ramparts that Lead to the South Gates of Shady Grove
A massive moat was recently built before the gates. From within the deep moat,
a long ramp leads upwards to the south gates of Shady Grove. The moat is
currently dry...

   Standing before the magnificent entryway into the city, one easily notices
the many eyes watching from above.  These eyes of the sentries on the city wall
mark your entry into the city and keep an eye out for danger.  The gates to the
city are large and black.  Constructed from black obsidian forged in the fiery
pits of a volcanoe, these gates have kept unwanted visitors out of the city. On
the other side of the gates, many guards can be seen standing stern and
attending to their tasks at hand.
