A Young Jungle
Humid air stands still here, even a light breeze can't reduce the
humidity, or the stench of rotting vegetation. A single yellow orchid
hangs from the branch of a small osage tree. The osage tree has a dusky,
almost orange, hue to it and exudes the faint aroma of almonds. Monkeys can
be heard screeching to the northeast and bird calls penetrate the dank air of
the forest. The jungle continues to the north, south, and east, and a low
wall of lose rocks is to the west.

Several of the more quickly growing trees stand in this area, and it is
clear from the droppings and garbage in the area that a large group of
monkeys has made their home up above. One of the trees actually has branches
that are low enough they can be climbed to reach the higher branches that the
monkeys have claimed as their home. Aside from the tree that can be climbed

Monkeys can be heard screaming from somewhere in the treetops above, and
occasionally a fruit rind drops down to the jungle floor to add to the
already rotting refuse. It is the continual cycle of life, death, and decay
that keeps the jungle a healthy and powerful testament to the strength of
nature. Animals can be heard screaming at each other throughout the forest,
some of the cries are obviously of distress. In the rainforest, only the
strong survive. The jungle continues in every direction.

The Jungle Darkens
The forest east of this point is dark and foreboding, at least the swamps
to the north show a bit more light through the trees. South and east of here
there is only dark forest, the gloom seems almost impenetrable, and there is
little to encourage one to take the risks of trying. Rumours of lost cities
and treasures in the jungle beyond here are easy to believe. In fact, it
would be easy to pass an entire city by in the darkness of the forest.
Halfling scouts can rarely be seen traveling this far into the forest, but
never into the darkness beyond. The jungle continues in every direction.

Gloomy darkness and dense, humid air make this jungle almost unbearable.
Trees stretch upward until they fan out, creating a dense canopy that blocks
out almost all light. The little light that does get this far down serves
only to create strange shadows, shadows that can't even be chased away with
bright torches and magical lights. Moist earth is made even softer by the
rotting vegetation, the leaves and branches that have fallen from the trees
above. Few adventurers travel even this far into the jungle, most find the
stench unbearable, and the almost ever-present darkness unnerving. The
trackless jungle continues in every direction.

Soft humus pads the steps of every wanderer, both the hunter and the

and its ability to thrive under any condition, but there is also an ugliness,
a breath of evil that seems to float through the air. Some creatures have
been designed to thrive here in the stinking, moist air, others must simply
make do, and try to avoid becoming something else's next meal. The darkness
that frightens away so many is a cloak of mystery to those brave souls that

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

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

A wide river to the north moves quite slowly until it hits the deep gorge
just to the east. As the water squeezes down into the gorge it falls about 30
feet and become a roiling torrent of white water that continues its passage
down the gorge until it disappears into the face of the cliff far to the
south. The think plants growing here make it difficult to find the edge of the
gorge to the west so travelers must be wary, a fall into that river, though not
certain death, is certainly an unwelcome added adventure. The far edge of the
gorge to the west appears to be a mere 20-30 feet away, but appearances may be

The vegetation here is thick and snarled, hanging out even over the edge of the

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

greenery, there are even large roots that stretch downward along the jagged

Something about the rock itself seems magical, it has withstood all the jungles

delicate carving in the face of the rock itself, work that was clearly done
quite recently because chips of stone lie on top of the jungle humus, not

walls flow seamlessly from the sides of the tree to extend to the northwest and

valley. The wall itself is quite a spectacle, made entirely of jodani wood
magically melded together so that no gaps or junctions can be seen in the wall
itself. Jodani trees are only found in the Rift Valley Jungle, and very rare
outside of the halfling town of Woodseer. Wood from the tree to the north
could be used to build houses for entire cities, here though it has clearly
been used to create a gateway to help protect a village from the rest of the

so valuable, and easy to be impressed by the cost of its creation. There is a
narrow walkway along the top of the wall that is about forty feet off the
ground. Voices of elven children seem to rain down from the trees to the east

In Front of Teglaron's Armory
Dwarven construction is evident in the stone building to the east.
All of the stone have been cut to fit together so smoothly it is hard to
make out where one stone ends and another begins. Gray granite was used
to make a majority of the building and a thin line of green granite
about four feet above the ground seems to split it into halves. The
open doorway to the south is framed with a light pink stone of some
sort. The pounding of a blacksmith's hammer can be heard from within
the building, along with the wheeze of a bellows. The lose stones line
the narrow path that heads south from here.

Teglaron's Armory
Teglaron, a dwarven blacksmith, moved here some time ago to set up his own
shop. His skill, and temper are known throughout the area, but his reasons for
living here are still unclear. The elves have made no effort to make him
leave, welcoming him as one of their own, and providing him with almost
anything he requests, his skills are sorely needed here. Beautifully made
weapons and armor line the wall. Swords of all shapes and sizes, as well as
beautifully engraved warhammers and battle-axes, line the walls. ALL of
Teglaron's weapons are perfectly balanced, to test one before buying would be
an insult and it is always unwise to insult a dwarf. Shields and chainmail
also line the walls, but only a few of each seem to actually be for sale. A
small stairway leads downward into Teglaron's home and open doorways lead north
to his forge and west back out of the store.

A Cluster of Young Ebonwood Trees
A group of young ebonwood trees blocks a clear approach to the cliff to the
south and east. The trees appear to be tightly confined by the cliff and the
rubble that has fallen down from above. A moss-lined path leads back toward
the west and a narrow gravel path heads north toward a sturdy stone building
hidden in the trees.

A Meeting of Paths
The narrow pathway is well shaded by some large ebonwood trees to the north
and the tall jodani wood wall to the southwest. It is clear from this side of
the wall that it is extremely thick and well made. Light reflects off the
highly polished wall with a faint red hue, it is easy to see why jodani wood is
so valuable, and easy to be impressed by the cost of its creation. There is a
narrow walkway along the top of the wall that is about forty feet off the
ground. Voices of elven children seem to rain down from the trees to the east
and north. An extremely narrow pathway leads east past a large boulder toward
the trunks of several ebonwood trees and the path continues to the south, east,
and west and a large ebonwood tree stands to the north.

A Path Along the Jodani Wood Wall
The narrow pathway leads north and south along the huge wooden wall.
A large tree to the west stretches over 250 feet upward, its upper
branches obscuring the sky. The branches above, and even the high
walkway on the jodani wall, are home to a number of small colorful birds
and squirrels. The lower branches of the trees in the area are about
fifty to sixty feet above the ground, yet people, probably elves, can be
seen moving across them.

A Path Along the Jodani Wood Wall
The path here is tightly enclosed by the jagged rocky walls to the east and
the jodani wood wall to the west. The wall itself meets the cliffs just to the
south of here where a long ladder leads up to the walkway that traverses the
wall high above. Tree branches extend from the north to shade this area,
providing both shade and protection from the elements. Enough of the normal
jungle undergrowth has been cleared away that faint breezes stir the air,
sometimes bringing the sounds of elven voices along with them.

At the Base of the cliffs
The cliffs stick out a bit here creating a perfect spot for the jodani wood
wall protecting the village to join with them. Jagged edges have been worn
down some by wind and water, but some spots reveal relatively recent rock
slides that have revealed new sharper edges. The cliff seems to lean inward
from the south and east making this area dark, and somewhat lonely.

On a Jodani Wood Wall
A wooden walkway goes north along the wall toward the huge jodani
tree that makes the entrance to Moonhollow and north into an opening in
the cliff face. It is easy to see over the wall here toward the jungle.
The area immediately before the wall has been cleared of most heavy
jungle growth to prevent anyone from approaching unseen, and to prevent
the jungle vines and trees from growing high enough to make the wall
worthless defensively. Trees inside the wall have also been trimmed
back so that opposing wizards can't use them in anyway to attack the
wall. Openings have been made at regular intervals along the wall to
allow archers a clear range of fire. The walkway continues to the
north and a cave can be seen to the south.

A Small Cave
The five foot entryway widens swiftly into a twenty foot wide cave
that has been carved from the rock. The sides and roof of the cave have
been left fairly rough and are unadorned with any decoration but green
granite slabs have been cut and polished to create a smooth floor. A
plain table and some chairs are in the center of the room and a few pegs
line the wall near the doorway. An open doorway leads to another room
to the east and the cave exits to a wooden walkway.

Moonstone's Office
Moonstone, an ancient elven guardswoman, has made this small room her
office. Her wisdom and organizational skills are what have placed her in
charge of all the elven guardsmen and warriors. A small jodani wood desk
faces out toward the doorway from the eastern wall, and several Jodani wood
bookcases occupy the northeastern corner. Near the bookcases is a leather
upholstered reading chair and a small lamp. A marble shelf along the southern
wall holds many beautiful trinkets that have been given to Moonstone as gifts.
There are no exits but an open doorway to the east that leads back to the
guardroom.
