The cold air nimps at your trembling body, sending chills up your spine. The darkness in engulfing everything it touches making it hard for you to make out very much in this confined passage. Silent whispers and up moans of agony surround you with madness, their source somewhere to the east.

[Exits: east up] (Glowing) A blood candle paints the room red. On the ground you see two red arm guards. You can see a pair of large red dragon claws on the floor.

876/904h 462/540m 394v 43109> south The Gateway to Despair Bones lay scattered around the black stone walls that tower before you. Several pairs of gleaming red eyes can be seen on the battlements high above. A vicious wind stirs the mist from the ground, revealing countless skeletal figures. Beneath a giant barred metal gate is a small entrance to the fortress. The earth is stained with blood and the air is thick with fear.

The fog begins to lift from around you and the sky is visible once again. The sounds of battle rage around you. The clanging of swords and cries of victory and defeat ring through the cold air. Even as the forest clears, a feeling of pestilence overwhealms you.

Half decayed corpses litter the ground and giant rats scurry over their remains. High above in the trees, specters swirl about with the icy wind. Thick branches clatter through the freezing air and disembodied spirits chant to the sounds of the darkness.

Off in the distance you see images of horror but a second look reveals nothing. A bloody skeleton runs across the path in front of you and dissapears into the mist. Howls of agony are joined by laughter of tourmentors. The path continues to the north.

A concentration of trees lies to the north.

Overlapping voices of pleading and death cries can be heard, but no source can be seen. Small globes of light fly out of the rocky crevaces only to dissapear beneath the ground moments later. Lightning streaks the black sky and the harsh wind carries the sound of thunder in the distance.

His dark eyes seem to look directly at you though his mind appears to be elsewhere. His hair is short and kept neatly combed.

Metallic pieces seem to clang lightly as he takes small steps while in speculation. His armor is adorned with several decoratives, many of them beyond your comprehension. A majestic lion is branded on one part, gripped within its paw appears to be a brain of some sort. A thin chain linked neckless hangs from his neck, at its end appears to be the symbol signifying Palison. Branded on the lower part of his armor is a picture of the sun brightly piercing through dark clouds, beneath it is the name "Keenen."

Enveloping him like a huge blanket is a billowing cloak of pure white, calm and unmoving, despite any blowings winds. On its back, contrasting with the whiteness is a bright yellow moon, surrounded by several smaller stars. A large hood hangs down his back, unused. With a firm nod he casts his attention away from you and begins muttering an arcane incantation.

He has led a sheltered life. Delvyn has a few scratches.

[Exits: north south] A massive stone and steel bastion has been erected here as a lookout.

559/904h 381/540m 281v 43109> Along the Eastern Road You find yourself before another grassy field. The plains are warm this time of year, and this plain seems to be the one that leads into the foothills of the Dragon's Teeth, which in turn lead into the mountains. The snow capped peaks lie far in the distance to the east.

North of you, a small trail leads off into the plains, where it seems to run into a small forested area.
