The Grand Skyway
   The widest skyway in all of aravne, this is the main route through the
center of Aravne.  Due to its size and the weight it must support, it takes
a rather windy route northward through the wide central branches of the great
Aravne trees.  Just to the north it takes an eastward detour around one
of the gigantic tree trunks before following one of the wide branches that
stretches out northwards.

The Grand Skyway
   Here the Grand Skyway takes a slight eastward detour as it curves
around the trunk of a giant Aravne tree.  The wooden floor actually has a
slight hump to it here, as it passes over one of the massive branches leading
away from the trunk in an eastward direction.  Once over the hump the skyway
again leads off to the north, following the course of another of the huge
branches which support this amazing structure.

The Grand Skyway
   Here the skyway follows a northerly branch as it makes its way deeper
into the city.  Just ahead lies the southern intersection of Merchants
Way, which branches off into an amazingly dense section of Aravne trees.
Beyond that, not much can be made out due to the thickness of branches which
wind their way in every possible direction and are every possible thickness.

Intersection of Merchants Way and The Grand Skyway
   Here the main skyway of Aravne comes to its first southern intersection.
A relatively smaller branch (only the thickness of a small house) crosses over
the top of the giant branch which supports The Grand Skyway, and heads
off into the thick tangle of trees and branches to the west.  While the main
skyway rises over the branch and continues northward, a smaller skyway curves
to the west here, and becomes Merchants Way.

The Grand Skyway
   As the branch supporting this massive skyway begins to curve downward
here, either on its own initiative or as a result of the weight of the giant
skyway and a few hundred years, the skyway does not follow it.  Instead, a
mass of wooden structural beams have been built one on top of the other, on
top of which the skyway continues to the north at a more level pace, where
just ahead it intersects another massive branch which heads northwest.

Intersection of The Grand Skyway and Home Avenue
   Here the pier-like structure supporting the skyway meets up with another
of the massive main Aravne branches, and turns to the northwest to follow
the natural support provided by it.  An east leading side branch provides the
support for a smaller skyway, known as Home Avenue, which leads off into
the dense chaos of branches that makes up this altitude of the Aravne Forest.

   Here the skyway leads deeper into the city as it follows a giant branch
which has slowly cut a swath through the tangle of 'smaller' branches.  Just
out of sight to the northwest the branch appears to end abruptly as it reaches
an intersection of foliage.  To the southeast the walkway over the branch
seems to come to another intersection marked by some sort of construction.

North Intersection of The Grand Skyway and Merchants Way
   The giant branch which proves the support for the middle section of the
large skyway has suffered a devastating crack here some few centuries ago.
While back to the southeast the branch appears vigorous, and actually supports
The Grand Skyway, here its days of supporting skyways are over.   The crack and
sagging of the giant branch has given way to many medium sized branches, over
which The Grand Skyway continues in a northerly direction.  Merchants Way
also intersects here, and leads off to the Merchants District west of here.

The Grand Skyway
   Here the skyway approaches a dense cluster of small and medium sized
branches, careening off in every direction.  It appears that the skyway once
continued on to the north, into the heart of the foliage, but now curves to
the west instead.  Whether some old force of nature, or perhaps an unnatural
force caused this change in route, has long since faded from the memories of
the old.

The Grand Skyway
   Here the skyway effects its detour around the dense foliage which causes
the immense tangle of branches to the northeast.   A gentle but long curve,
the result is nearly a right angle, with the skyway continuing on its way in
both the north and easterly directions.  To the north the skyway appears to
follow a straightforward northerly route, and several intersections can be
made out in the distance in that direction.

The Grand Skyway
   This part of The Grand Skyway marks the beginning of a long straight
gentle rise toward the Nobles District and the Prime Tree of Aravne.  Small
spots of rot are beginning to dot the branches here,  but otherwise all
seems to be normal.   Just ahead to the north another skyway intersects with
The Grand Way, but beyond that not much can be seen.

none.  Farther along The Grand Skyway to the north a glint of sunlight
fights its way down through a small gap in the foliage.

   Here, and farther north, there is much less business traffic on the skyway.
While the main commercial and residential sections of Aravne are now left
behind to the south, the tension in the air seems increased here without that
gentle buzz of commerce.  A few slender rays of sunlight lance down through
a gap in the foliage to the north, counterbalancing the undeniable sense
of something being just a tiny bit wrong in this place.

Dragonfall Pit on The Grand Skyway
   Always thought to be a tavern rumor until witnessed in the flesh, this
place is truly on of the greatest sights to behold in the region.  A gaping
swath through the massive branches of Aravne was cut in a blaze of heat
and momentum, created by an ancient red dragon as it fell to its
death in the wizards war centuries ago.  It was here that its momentum through
the branches began to slow, and eventually stop a few hundred feet below.
This created both a gap in the Aravne foliage above, and a two hundred
foot hole below, known as Dragonfall Pit.  Although the trees have
made some headway in closing the rift, Sunlight still manages to lance its
way down through the remaining gaps.  A witness to the incredible event saw
direct sunlight for the first time in his life on that day, and looked
eye to eye with Solos, god of sunlight.  Instantly filled with faith and
belief, he founded the Temple of the Sun, which placed its front doors here
just to the west.
This area seems to be devoid of magic!

Entrance to the Sun Temple
   This is a courtyard between two sets of gates.  The eastern gates are made
of electrum inlayed with gold, and lead back out into the city.  The gates
to the west are made of solid gold, and are carved with thousands of tiny
suns.  The letters Solos have been inscribed in the center of each sun, in
letters so tiny they can only be read close up.  Beyond the gates a very wide
courtyard can be seen, filled with worshipers in sun colored robes.
