On the Beginning of Newhaven Way
   Six sets of flagpoles have been meticulously spaced and embedded along each
side of the cobblestone path leading up to a massive gate.  Each pole supports
either a large banner emblazoned with Newhaven's crest or a large scale and
balance.  The roadway has been formed from tiny dark brown stones and has been
mortared tightly together.  The area is very picturesque.  The lush landscape
of the area is offset by the vibrant colors of the many wild flowers that have
sprouted about the flagpoles.  The roadway is completely free of any debris
other than a sign.

The Beginning of Newhaven Way
   A narrow path of dirt and rock begins to transform into a cobblestone
pathway here.  Massive oak trees, withered and cracked, line the right
side of the roadway, while massive green and flourishing oak trees line
the left side of the avenue, spreading their branches high over head. The
branches intertwine forming a strange and twisted canopy of the living
and the dead overhead.  Tiny stones of dark brown have been embedded into
the earth tightly.  The path has been cleared of any debris while multitudes
of large flowers have been planted along each side of the path. The flowers
mirror the canopy overhead, on the right side, each flower oozes a red puss
that drips down each withered petal feeding the weed packed flower bed below.
while on the left side, each flower is in pristine condition as no sign of
weeds have managed to grow within the loam of the garden.

Between a Row of Wicked Trees on Newhaven Way
   A street of yellowish-brown brick has been laid out and mortared together
stretching off towards the north.  Black ooze streams along the surface of the
stones, filling the mortared cracks with its dark residue.  Massive oak trees,
withered and cracked, line the roadway, spreading their bare branches overhead.
The trees sway back and forth whispering a ghastly hymn which seems to speak of
pestilence and decay.  Tiny red flowers have grown along the roadside.  A puss
oozes red from each flower, dripping down each withered petal to feed the weed
-packed flower bed that lies below.

Along Newhaven Way before an Eerie City
   A street of dull, yellowish-brown brick stretches off towards the north into
the city.  Large oak trees have managed to grow alongside the roadway despite
the barren soil.  The trees are extremely frail and withered.  Piles of leaves
and dirt clutter the roadway.  Tiny red flowers have sprouted along the side of
the road.  Each flower oozes streams of yellowish-red puss that drips from its
tiny withered petals, feeding the weed-packed flower bed below.  The putrid
scent of death and decay permeates the area here.

Intersection of Newhaven Way and Bliss Boulevard
   Shoddy inlaid stones of light-yellow have been checkered with the yellowish-
brown stones lining Newhaven Way.  The checkered boulevard stretches off to the
east and west.  A small fountain has been raised in the center of the inter-
section.  Large, red flowers grow randomly in an incomplete circle around the
marble water basin.  The sounds of the bubbling fount and the putrid scent of
the flowers contribute to a sense of eeriness about the area.  A small sign has
been posted within the flowerbed before the marble of the fountain.

   Rough-hewn bricks of light-yellow shimmer slightly, absorbing all sources
of light with their rough surfaces.  Each stone has been hastily carved and
set into the earth, each block having been spaced fitfully and then mortared
together.  The road stretches off to the east and west, while a huge wooden
door breaches the building to the north.  A worn, soiled floor mat has been
thrown before the doorway almost as an afterthought.  Two tarnished, bronzed
urns stand at each side of the entranceway of the building to the north.  The
scent of death and decay accompanies wisps and tendrils of smoke that seems

On the Ruins of Bliss Boulevard
   The bricks of this boulevard are primitive in their formation, the surface
rough and seeming to absorb all light that alights upon it.  Every stone has
been almost randomly set into the earth and then mortared together.  Puddles
of grey ooze bubble and burp alongside the road as it continues it journey to
to the west.  To the east, an intersection sees a blending of the stones from
this boulevard and the checkered pattern of the roadway it meets there.  A
solitary row of large pots have been scattered along the city wall that runs
parallel to the road to the south.  Each pot contains a single, dull yellow
flower that looks as if it is in the first stages of decay.

   Abused, alabaster stone has been cut and chiseled into triangular blocks.
Each wedge has been haphazardly placed and mortared together to form a roadway
that leads off to the north and south.  A translucent, rose-colored ooze covers
the majority of the road's surface.  An engraved whalebone, still supporting
pieces of rotting flesh, has been placed right outside the building that stands
on the east side of the street.  A few clay pots, several of which contain a
withered flower, have been lined against the eastern city wall.  A checkered
avenue intersects with Paradise Lane off to the south.

Intersection of Paradise Lane and Bliss Boulevard
   Primitively carved stones have been checkered with the alabaster wedges of
Paradise Lane to form a check pattern throughout the intersection.  A stairway
leads up the southeastern section of the stronghold's wall to an open-air tower
above.  Each stair has either been roughly cut, or severly weathered by age and
the elements.  A brass sign has been mounted at the bottom of the stairs by a
member of the stronghold's ruling council.

On the Ruins of Bliss Boulevard
   The bricks of this boulevard are primitive in their formation, the surface
rough and seeming to absorb all light that alights upon it.  Every stone has
been almost randomly set into the earth and then mortared together.  Puddles
of grey ooze bubble and burp alongside the road as it continues it journey to
to the west.  To the east, an intersection sees a blending of the stones from
this boulevard and the checkered pattern of the roadway it meets there.  A
solitary row of large pots have been scattered along the city wall that runs
parallel to the road to the south.  Each pot contains a single, dull yellow
flower that looks as if it is in the first stages of decay.

Along the Ruins of Bliss Boulevard
   Rough-hewn bricks of light-yellow shimmer slightly, absorbing all sources
of light with their rough surfaces.  Each stone has been hastily carved and
set into the earth, each block having been spaced fitfully and then mortared
together.  The road stretches off to the east and west, while a huge wooden
door breaches the building to the north.  A worn, soiled floor mat has been
thrown before the doorway almost as an afterthought.  Two tarnished, bronzed
urns stand at each side of the entranceway of the building to the north.  The
scent of death and decay accompanies wisps and tendrils of smoke that seems
to permeate the entire area.

Intersection of Newhaven Way and Bliss Boulevard
   Shoddy inlaid stones of light-yellow have been checkered with the yellowish-
brown stones lining Newhaven Way.  The checkered boulevard stretches off to the
east and west.  A small fountain has been raised in the center of the inter-
section.  Large, red flowers grow randomly in an incomplete circle around the
marble water basin.  The sounds of the bubbling fount and the putrid scent of
the flowers contribute to a sense of eeriness about the area.  A small sign has

   A street of dull, yellowish-brown brick stretches off towards the north into

the barren soil.  The trees are extremely frail and withered.  Piles of leaves
and dirt clutter the roadway.  Tiny red flowers have sprouted along the side of
the road.  Each flower oozes streams of yellowish-red puss that drips from its
tiny withered petals, feeding the weed-packed flower bed below.  The putrid

withered and cracked, line the roadway, spreading their bare branches overhead.
The trees sway back and forth whispering a ghastly hymn which seems to speak of

   A narrow path of dirt and rock begins to transform into a cobblestone
pathway here.  Massive oak trees, withered and cracked, line the right
side of the roadway, while massive green and flourishing oak trees line
the left side of the avenue, spreading their branches high over head. The
branches intertwine forming a strange and twisted canopy of the living
and the dead overhead.  Tiny stones of dark brown have been embedded into
the earth tightly.  The path has been cleared of any debris while multitudes
of large flowers have been planted along each side of the path. The flowers
mirror the canopy overhead, on the right side, each flower oozes a red puss
that drips down each withered petal feeding the weed packed flower bed below.
while on the left side, each flower is in pristine condition as no sign of
weeds have managed to grow within the loam of the garden.

A gilded street of finely polished yellowish-brown brick stretches off towards
the north into the city.  No leaves or dirt clutter the roadway, and tiny red
flowers have been meticulously planted before the trees along the roadside.
Each individual flower is in pristine condition and no weeds have managed to
gain ground in their loamy bed.  The sweet scent of honey and nectar permeates
the area with a subtle, if cloying, insistancy.  To the west, a pool collects
