Beginning of Aravne Forest
     Here is where the jungle ends and the giant forest begins.  Here
the trees at the edge of the forest are simply very large.  Farther in,
however, they grow to inconceivable heights allowable only by their innate
magic.  The center of the forest is where the wonderous city of Aravne
can be found among the largest of the giant trees.  It is rumored that in
the center of that great city stands the World tree, which is said to
touch the sky and the realm of the gods themselves.  The path leads onward
toward the city to the north, and back into the jungle to the south.

Path Along the Forest Floor
     Here the forest path continues northward toward the tree city of
Aravne.  The path is fairly well traveled, although it is not until much
farther to the north that the safety of the city patrol boundary can be
reached.  For this reason, caravans laden with valuable goods from faraway
lands often push onward after leaving the jungle until they reach safety
to the north.  Rumors of bandits and theives have become minor legends
throughout the area, and are taken very seriously by those who travel here.

Path Approaching a Small Clearing
     The forest path approaches a small clearing to the north.  Although
the forest floor here has seen nothing but shadows for countless millenia,
rays of light penetrate nearly to the forest floor up ahead.  It is not
apparent from here what may have caused the clearing up ahead, but after days
of travel through the dark jungle it looks like a tempting place to
rest.

     Here the forest path opens into a large clearing.  Athough here
the shadows which normally cloak the forest floor abate slightly,  the
choking amount of leaves and needles which cover the ground still prevent any
grass from gaining a foothold here.  Hundreds of feet up, a small patch of sky
can be seen between the giant treetops.  It looks as though many caravans
have stopped here to rest, and also like there has been an attempt to cover up
some signs of some sort of activity.  To the north, the path continues to wind
between the trunks of the huge trees.

     Cleverly hidden, this ladder leads up the side of one of the larger trees
on the edge of the clearing.  Above, it looks as though some sort of hidden
loft has been build against the trunk of the tree.  A few old arrows
can be seen sticking from the bottom of the wooden loft, fired up here in what
looks like blind shots from below.

A Hidden Loft
     This wooden loft has been constucted againstthe side of this giant tree.
Large enough for several people to stand on at once, it looks as though it has
been used for the purpose of ambushing resting caravans below.  Seen from
above, the clearing looks like an anciant crater of some sort.  What caused
the crater, and why none of the trees have reclaimed the clearing is still not
known.

A Clearing in the Forest
     Here the forest path opens into a large clearing.  Athough here
the shadows which normally cloak the forest floor abate slightly,  the
choking amount of leaves and needles which cover the ground still prevent any
grass from gaining a foothold here.  Hundreds of feet up, a small patch of sky
can be seen between the giant treetops.  It looks as though many caravans
have stopped here to rest, and also like there has been an attempt to cover up
some signs of some sort of activity.  To the north, the path continues to wind
between the trunks of the huge trees.
