The Dusty Road
A massive tree has fallen across the road here, its rotten girth since split
apart by heavy wagons winding their way through the forest road. Common forest
birds like robins and sparrows have been replaced by crows and ravens that fix

A Winding Road
The dusty road takes a turn around a small rock outcropping, turning to the
north as it heads through the encroaching forest. Vines and creepers snake
their way onto the rarely frequented road in search of sustenance. An
occasional cobblestone breaks through the dust and dirt suggesting that this
road was once well used and maintained.

Scrub oak and pine trees lining the road to the south, and a large hill to

branches on the northern faces of the trees have been broken off, probably
to be used as future arrows or walking sticks.
