| Name: |
Redwood Forest |
| Description: |
Northwest of The Land, the grassy pastures and pleasant forests give way to a primeval wilderness.
Great redwood trees rise up high into the sky, beyond which lies a barren, grey plain. This is marked only by a mysterious stone circle, believed to be a sister to that found upon the Dragon's Isle. A mystical location of great power and beauty is also rumoured to exist here, though none have yet found it, for it is protected by potent spirits.
Flora and fauna not seen in The Land for centuries can be found in this domain. Beware, however, for not all of these are friendly ... |

Barren plain
Many bones, eroded by the wind and bleached by the sun, lie strewn across this area of the plain, creating the impression that this must have been a favoured feeding site for carnivores from ages past. However, some of the bones are considerably less bleached and eroded than others - possibly this place isn't as deserted as it appears ... The stone circle lies to the north and northwest, while the plain goes on in all other directions. |
| Sample Room 2: |
Barren plain
This section of plain is covered with lumps of rock that once must have borne detailed carvings, but now all that remains are faint impressions in the stone. Even these will surely soon be eroded away by the unrelenting wind and the dust it carries. To the north lies a stone circle, miraculously still intact despite the cruelty of the elements here. To the west the plain slopes up into a bleak hill, and in other directions the plain continues into the distance.
A grey-veined chunk of marble whose carvings have resisted the passage of time rests here. |

Southeast side of stone circle
Within the environs of the stone circle, the gale gains a new level of intensity, nearly lifting you from your feet. It almost seems that you can hear the final calls of long-extinct species of animal carried on the wind's scream. To the northwest lies the intricately carved stone altar in the circle's centre, while to the north and west lie two of the four trilithons making up the circle. |
