    <description>The road moves among low hills, through a patchwork quilt of tilled and fallow fields parted by an occasional wood lot.  Oxen plowing, cattle grazing or field hands working are familiar sights along the way, and one sees plenty of travelers this close to the ferry.</description>

    <description>The Haalikshal Highway makes its paved way through farm and foothill, linking the hazy blue mountains to the west and the Segoltha River to the east.  Each turn of the road reveals some rural delight: here the even rows of an apple orchard, there a freshly plowed field, redolent with a yeasty scent.</description>

    <description>Night, black as pitch, envelops the mountains.  A natural stone bridge rises above the gorge, spanning the distance to a flat-topped butte on the horizon.  While crossing the bridge, there is no protection from the turbulent winds rushing through the gorge.  Walking into the darkness over an empty void can quickly bring on a sense of vertigo, and many have made the trip across the bridge at night crawling like a baby on their belly.  The trail continues down a small slope.</description>
    <description>In the distant past, a cataclysmic event sheered off a large section of this mountain.  Far below, a fracture in the rock face serves as a narrow footpath and weaves its way across the mountain.  A natural stone bridge rises above the gorge, spanning the distance to a flat-topped butte.  While crossing the bridge, there is no protection from the turbulent winds rushing through the gorge and an icy surface complicates the crossing.

Reinforced beams stand sentinel at the ledge, though cut marks mar their steel surface and most of the cables which once supported the bridge have long since snapped, leaving behind only a few strands.  Fallen rocks and other rubble litter the remaining planks, the debris growing denser to the east.</description>

    <description>Already precarious, travel through this section is complicated by a gaping hole in the dead center of the floor.  A ragged ledge of frozen ice to the east appears solid enough to withstand some weight, enabling passage to another area over a corner of the precipice.</description>

    <description>The ceiling is caked with ice that has seeped through the mountain into this cavern.  Several varied and unusual frozen sculptures appear to be the result of a fast defrost and a slow refreeze.  The solid wall directly ahead is coated in a frozen glaze that resembles a fast flowing vertical river.</description>

    <description>Thick frozen spires jut up from the slick floor, never quite meeting those that hang down from the roof of the cavern but coming close enough to force a change of direction.  Gaping holes in the cave floor plunge into inky depths below the frost line causing passage through the area to be slow and careful.  In some spots, newly formed ice tentatively creeps over old holes, but counting on its ability to hold weight is for the foolhardy.</description>

    <description>This large foyer looks the same as when it was used as a home by the family.  A small table holding a wide ledger that is propped open sits beside a high-backed bench.  Beside the door is a basket half-filled with muddy shoes and boots.  Through a darkened doorway, stairs leading downwards can be seen.  Large entries to the east and west lead into the actual living quarters.</description>

Everything is very tidy right down to the pine floor that has recently been swept.  Mismatched armchairs and stools have been arranged in an attempt to provide private seating areas.  Hung in a place of honor over the mantel of the fieldstone fireplace is a broken axe handle.</description>

Made from cast iron, a stove in the corner has a large pot simmering on the back.  Swinging doors at the end of the room must lead to the kitchen, evidenced by the wear and tear on the floor.  A pine sideboard has been pushed into the corner opposite the stove.</description>

A pie safe with punched tin doors faces a long counter piled high with cleaned plates.  Sitting next to the back door, a wood bin is filled to the top with roughly split logs.  Bundles of fresh herbs hang to dry from the low rafters, adding to the odors of the constant cooking.</description>

Spartan to an extreme, a sleigh bed with a faded quilt and a pine dresser are the only pieces of furniture.  A small woven rug sits beside the bed where Momma must swing her feet out every morning.</description>

What must have been the master bedroom has been turned into a dormitory of bunk beds with little room between them to put anything.  A locker sits at the end of each row, a neatly folded towel and cloth on the top of each one.</description>

    <description>In stark contrast to the hovels that fill the walls of Raven's Point, the interior of the chapel is adorned with rare gems and metals gathered from the four corners of Forfedhdar.  A massive raven, carved from black stone streaked with glittering veins of gold, dominates the rear of the church, its talons curling tightly around the edges of the altar and holding it aloft.  Halos of lingering incense hover above the burning candles that line the foot of the exterior walls, fending off the pressing darkness.</description>

    <description>Rough-cut logs with sharpened peaks reach across the rough stone walls to block further passage though the pass to the north.  Thick curls of black smoke spiral into the sky from beyond the makeshift walls of the outpost, the air filled with the pungent aroma of blood sausage and smoking cedar.  In the direct center of the fortification, a massive gear gate has been sandwiched between the sharpened log walls, reaching across the valley to slide seamlessly into the black rock walls of the valley.</description>

A roaring fireplace fills the office with its warming glow, assisted by several braziers hung along the walls.  A golden eagle rests on a scratched stand resting next the commander's desk, blinking lazily as it casually observes the area with its dull orange eyes.</description>

    <description>From this vantage point, high above the trail below, the view would be spectacular -- if only the constantly wind-whipped snow would clear long enough to allow a good look.  The mountain rises with a sheer slope, curving slightly overhead so that this ledge is somewhat protected, but also preventing any possible climb further.  The ledge itself is wide enough for comfort standing, but not so wide that one is tempted to remain for any length of time.</description>

    <description>Rising high above the valley, the narrow ledge terminates at the top of the sheer cliff face.  The vertical drop from the precipice is obscured by wind-blown clouds of icy particles.  Although partially hidden by drifting clouds of snow and ice, a distant tower of grim black stone rises between two mountain peaks.</description>

    <description>Stacks of crates are piled high in this small underground room, though it's clear that this cellar is meant for more than just storage.  A rack of weapons with a battered shield resting against it sits near a blazing torch, and close by is a small shelf stacked with preserved foodstuffs.  In the far corner is a heap of thick fur blankets ready to defend against the cold.  A sturdy ladder leads up to a trapdoor in the ceiling.</description>
