The Center of Market Square
An intricate fountain stands in the center of the square spraying water
high into the air. Cobblestones around the fountain are well worn and cleared
of the stone benches and flower beds seen throughout the rest of the square.
Though the entire square is used for dances and celebrations, the area around
the fountain here is where most of the dancing is done. The square continues
in all directions from here.

The Halfling Market
Fernwalk Lane leads straight north through the market which extends to the
east and west. Merchants are hawking everything from fruit to leather goods
from small stone tables that have been spaced around the small square. Small
trees provide shade and a small amount of shelter from the elements and
lanterns hung from some of the lower branches keep the entire square well lit
at night. Loud laughter and singing can be over the barking dogs and laughing
children that seem to be running everywhere at once. Fernwalk Lane heads
north through the market continues to the south. A small square extends to
the north, east and west.

narrow road its name seem to fade out to the north where the road widens into

that flows along the western edge of the higher plateau and the door to a

The Intersection of Orchid Way and Fernwalk Lane
The steady trickle of a tiny waterfall flowing into a small pool to the
west makes a pleasant counterpart to the birds playing in the trees and bushes
nearby. A large number of small halfling cottages can be seen to the east and
north. Most of the cottages are made of different woods or combinations of
different woods giving the collection of homes here a colorful, almost
artistic touch. Halflings take pride in the creation and decoration of
beautiful intricate homes. Orchid Way continues to the east and makes a short
trip to the west to a small pool of freshwater and Fernwalk Lane continues
both north and south.

Halflings are inclined to use a wide variety of jungle woods to make their
beautiful little homes. Although Woodseer is most famous for its jodani and
ebonwood, the Rift Valley Jungle is filled with a wide variety of trees
providing a number of different woods for building. Dark brown cocobola has
been used in the construction of a small home to the east. The thin light
brown veins of the cocobola seem to shimmer in the sunlight making the home
appear to be made of marble rather than wood. Fernwalk Lane continues to
the north toward some more brightly colored homes and south to a steep drop.

It appears that in some distant past the top of a mountain was somehow
sheared off and 'dropped' into the rift valley forming two plateaus on which
the halflings have built their small town. One plateau below, which rests
above the western end of the Rift Valley Jungle, and one here on the remains of
the mountain. A number of very colorful and beautiful homes can be seen
through the small trees and bushes on this higher plateau. Ferns line the road
as it heads north and a narrow stairway leads down toward the lower plateau.

The roof of a jodani wood building can be seen sticking out of the cliff
directly below and a number of trees and small buildings can be made out on the
plateau far below. Water roars past to the west as it plummets over the edge
of the cliff above. Though the waterfall is thin, the volume of water
streaking down toward the pool below appears to be more than enough to drag a
small boat with it. The stairway continues upward toward another small plateau
and downward toward a building built in the face of the cliff.

In Front of Ctenmir's
A beautiful jodani wood building juts out of the cliff face here, heavy
black palm struts keep it from tumbling to the plateau below. A sign over the
doorway says, "Ctenmir's Fine Goods" in several different languages. It
appears half of the building must actually be built into the face of the
mountain, probably a natural opening or ledge of some sort. Though it hangs
out into open space, fine construction and good design make the building quite
safe. A narrow stairway leads further up toward a higher plateau and heads
downward toward the commercial part of Woodseer.

Halflings seem able to bounce down this stairway with no fear of tumbling
over the edge. There are no guardrails of any sort here, a fall over the edge
would end with a gruesome landing on the rough rocks below. The beautiful
plateau below is framed by a river that runs along the base of the mountains
and cliffs at its western and southern edges. Lose rocks and boulders make up
a wide wall that encloses a large park below and to the east which is full of
so many bright flowers that the vibrant colors can be seen from here. The
stairway continues upward toward a building that has been built into the side
of the cliff and downward toward the plateau.

made in large burrows to save on time and money. Petalrich Lane ends at a

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

The smooth cobblestones of Petalrich Lane lead both east and west along long

this must be the major business area of Woodseer. A wall of lose rocks and

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

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

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.

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.

be seen diving over the edge of the cliff into a small pond by the jungle far

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.

branches throughout the jungle below and to the east are alive with birds and
