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.
