You are in the vast lobby of the Museum of Rune, a depository for rare
magical works of art. Several years back, a group of thieves broke in and
stole some of the most valuable paintings, thinking to resell them
elsewhere. The paintings were discovered in a pile in the middle of a
nearby forest, with footprints scattered all around them - the thieves were
never found. However, a few of the paintings seemed to be altered in that
human figures could be seen deep within the textures of the paintings...
You shudder to think about the power of art. The Museum lobby continues to

An ancient book of astronomy is in excellent condition.
*This item may be repaired 8 more times.
It is a small book, sandwiched between two thin slats of a well seasoned
wood, bound and covered in a tough black leather. Painted all over the
cover are faintly glowing concentric oblong circles. Affixed to each
circle, almost randomly, are small balls, which also glow faintly. Most of
the pages are covered with strange runes, handwritten in an irridiscient
black ink.
The book reads:
"De moribus Liviae. Mercurius et Luna, in signis separatis, discordiam
quandam inter rationalem animae potentiam et sensuum affectus denotant:
verumtamen a Mercurio fortunatissimo adeo Luna debilis superatur, ut omnino
sensitiva pars rationali subiicietur. Mercurius, morum hic significator,
cum Jove coniunctus benigno Venere sestili aspectu partili, affectus mores
elegantes admodum et laudabiles pollicetur. Spica quoque, Mercurius
precedens, leporem cum venustate et religione superaddit: erit itaque et
ingenii acumine pollens, docilis, cauta, cum desteritate omnia faciens,
poeta, matematica, sine doctore multa discens, bona imitatrix, cuivis
tempori et personae se accomodans. De ingenio: Mercurius, in angulo
ascendens fortissimus, ingenium rebus omnibus accomodatum exibet; per
accessum autem ad Jovem sapientia augetur, probitas, simplicitas, eruditio,
prudentia, humanitas. Sestilis autem Venus alacritatem et gratiam sermonis
et morum mirifice auget. Caveat tamen ne, ob malum Lunae positum, bene
quidem intelligat, sed male deliberet, atque aliis bene, sibi vero pessime,
consulat".

You have entered a dilapidated old shack which was once used as a
dockhouse. A few pieces of furniture that looks like they have seen better
days scatter around the room. A warm fireplace is built into the northern
wall while to the east a window looks out onto a gravel road. It is oddly
shaped because it was haphazardly built to cater to trade many years ago and
not much thought was given to laying out the place. North is a kitchen room
and southwest is a sleeping quarter.

This small island in the middle of the stream stands out amid the white
birches in the shallows of the Wampo Stream, and much moreso from the
assorted ferns, shrubs, cane fields, orchids, and other greeneries across in
the Colove. The narrow island, just a couple of furlongs long, has been
transformed by the village now resting upon it. The trees have been
replanted, and replaced wholesale. Gone are the Lianas, fig trees and
strangling vines, replaced with sturdy ash trees and the occasional
eucalyptus. To the southeast is the village proper, the village of those
who have altered Beltane.

Ash trees planted haphazardly along the side of the road cast their great
shadows over the village of Colyon. Inhabited by refugees from the great
underground city of Arien'dyth, shadows play a significant role for the drow
citizens of this quiet hamlet. The air is alive, populated with the
noisiest creatures about. Flocks of sparrows chitter within the branches of
the tall trees, frequently casting about for food, or chased off by rival
flocks. Between the trees, off to the southwest, is a small hut, while the
rest of the village lies to the southeast.

The hardpacked dirt lane slowly starts tiling upwards to the east, as it
begins traversing the natural path up the hill to the southeast. The hump
in the middle of the island rises up above the trees, allowing for a better
view of the island, and across the river to the rest of the Colove Jungle.
The northwestern side of the village is all houses, while the top of the
hill holds the village's single shop, and Mama Kjarlow's house and the
fishing spot are on the other side of the hill.

Ash trees planted seemingly randomly along the side of the road cast
their great shadows over the village of Colyon. Inhabited by refugees from
the great underground city of Arien'dyth, shadows play a significant role
for the drow citizens of this quiet hamlet. In the shadowy clearings off to
both the northeast and southwest, there are modest cabins, with shady
porches and smoking chimneys. The air is alive, populated with the flocks
of chittering sparrows and wafting smoke. They co-mingle in the heavy air
between the tall trees, which populate much of this sliver of an island.

The path slopes upward to the south, nearing the apex of the hill upon
which Colyon is situated. The hill is fairly low, low enough that there is
no treeline. Ash trees cover the island, with no differential ratio of any
particular notice. They cover the shore, near the shore opposite the
regular, sweltering jungle, they cover the interior, and they cover the hill
in the center. The drows' terraforming efforts have worked well. A
temperate, dry shade hangs over the island like a gypsy's curse, allowing
the Arien'dyth expatriates to exist as comfortably in the tropical jungles
of Beltane as easily as they do the subterranean caverns.

A Modest Storefront - - NE
(-------------------------------------------------) - <---(M)---> -
- - -
Small in size, this storefront is actually the only store in Colyon. Its
importance is significant, as it is the only place that the villagers may
purchase resources to barter with outsiders. There may not be much of this
trading going on, or even many outsiders, but when foreigners do pass
through, their role in economically stimulating the hamlet is great. While
Mama Kjarlow attends to the domestic needs of the village's citizens, Vezam
Pozov has been made relatively rich by doing trade with the occasional
adventurer or merchant from Xalt, Vospire, and beyond. This storefront may
be modest, but to the villagers of Colyon, they all have a stake in it.
A long, gaunt drow sits on a tall stool before you.

This gently-sloping lane reaches its peak here, the highest public spot

that, but there is so little development in this village, that there are no
shops. To the southeast there are some huts, visible through the trees, as
well as some more, and a single storefront, off to the northwest. To the
northeast is a walkway to the only point on this skinny isle higher than the
point at which you are now. A house sits on the bluff, looking over the the
Stream, towards the infested jungle. It's much nicer here anyhow.

excellent place to go fishing, if you have a line long enough. If you

This drow is obviously a fisherman of sorts. He wears tall, waterproof
boots that are held up with suspenders, and has a hat lined with various
baubles and fishing lures. His skin is dried and marked with lines, a sign
that he probably spent a considerable amount of time in the Beltan sun,
working at his hobby, or in this case, way of life. His hands are
well-tuned tools, expert in the art of tying fishing line and experienced in
the craft of bringing in the huge haul.
He is a drow approximately 4'8" tall.

Mama Kjarlow's place may be at the south end of the village, but it's
actually the center of Colyon's activities. Her house bustles with
activity, as far as drow sociality goes, and if there's ever anything going
on, it's probably here. Her house isn't the nicest, or the largest, and her
furniture even has some splinters, which tend to jab people where they don't
want to be jabbed, but for many locals, this is their home away from home.

the nice touches that make it a relief to come home, after fishing under the
sweltering tropical sun all day. This house's location is prime, possibly
the best homestead in all of Colyon. It overlooks the Wampo Stream, far
down the steep cliff to the northeast, and is close enough that a long
fishing pole would allow anyone who wished to do so to fish without leaving
the confines of the house. A small wooden chest almost hides in the
southern corner of the room.

no treeline. Ash trees cover the island, with no differential ratio of any
particular notice. They cover the shore, near the shore opposite the

in the center. The drows' terraforming efforts have worked well. A

with not more than the clothing on their backs and a will to survive, it's
home. Light curtains adorn the windows, now that heavy drapes are no longer
necessary to keep the Beltane sun out of the house. The ubiquitous ash trees
filter the light before it ever hits much of the island, allowing the Drow

destitute in a party of exiles is another. His home, a simple tent, is

populate it. He might be a drunkard, if he had the money to buy alcohol
from the merchants that pass through. He does smell of salt and mud,

pauses in his work, which appears to consist of hacking down an ash tree,
and stretches his thin, yet muscular arms. Days spent doing menial tasks

warmth, but the drows' terraforming operation on this island has been
particularly successful. Now that it has been turned into a reasonable
facsimile of the Alyrian Underground, the stove is neither unusual nor
unwarranted on a sliver of jungle island in the center of the tropics. The
chimney goes straight through the ash roof, piping the resultant smoke

in the center. The drows' terraforming efforts have worked well. A

sweltering tropical sun all day. This house's location is prime, possibly
the best homestead in all of Colyon. It overlooks the Wampo Stream, far
down the steep cliff to the northeast, and is close enough that a long
fishing pole would allow anyone who wished to do so to fish without leaving
the confines of the house. A small wooden chest almost hides in the

It is a small book, sandwiched between two thin slats of a well seasoned
wood, bound and covered in a tough black leather. Painted all over the
cover are faintly glowing concentric oblong circles. Affixed to each
circle, almost randomly, are small balls, which also glow faintly. Most of
the pages are covered with strange runes, handwritten in an irridiscient
black ink.
The book reads:
"De moribus Liviae. Mercurius et Luna, in signis separatis, discordiam
quandam inter rationalem animae potentiam et sensuum affectus denotant:
verumtamen a Mercurio fortunatissimo adeo Luna debilis superatur, ut omnino
sensitiva pars rationali subiicietur. Mercurius, morum hic significator,
cum Jove coniunctus benigno Venere sestili aspectu partili, affectus mores
elegantes admodum et laudabiles pollicetur. Spica quoque, Mercurius
precedens, leporem cum venustate et religione superaddit: erit itaque et
ingenii acumine pollens, docilis, cauta, cum desteritate omnia faciens,
poeta, matematica, sine doctore multa discens, bona imitatrix, cuivis
tempori et personae se accomodans. De ingenio: Mercurius, in angulo
ascendens fortissimus, ingenium rebus omnibus accomodatum exibet; per
accessum autem ad Jovem sapientia augetur, probitas, simplicitas, eruditio,
prudentia, humanitas. Sestilis autem Venus alacritatem et gratiam sermonis
et morum mirifice auget. Caveat tamen ne, ob malum Lunae positum, bene
quidem intelligat, sed male deliberet, atque aliis bene, sibi vero pessime,
consulat".

This small island in the middle of the stream stands out amid the white

transformed by the village now resting upon it. The trees have been
replanted, and replaced wholesale. Gone are the Lianas, fig trees and
strangling vines, replaced with sturdy ash trees and the occasional
eucalyptus. To the southeast is the village proper, the village of those

The path slopes upward to the south, nearing the apex of the hill upon
which Colyon is situated. The hill is fairly low, low enough that there is
no treeline. Ash trees cover the island, with no differential ratio of any
particular notice. They cover the shore, near the shore opposite the
regular, sweltering jungle, they cover the interior, and they cover the hill
in the center. The drows' terraforming efforts have worked well. A
temperate, dry shade hangs over the island like a gypsy's curse, allowing
the Arien'dyth expatriates to exist as comfortably in the tropical jungles
of Beltane as easily as they do the subterranean caverns.

A Modest Storefront - - NE

Small in size, this storefront is actually the only store in Colyon. Its
importance is significant, as it is the only place that the villagers may
purchase resources to barter with outsiders. There may not be much of this
trading going on, or even many outsiders, but when foreigners do pass
through, their role in economically stimulating the hamlet is great. While
Mama Kjarlow attends to the domestic needs of the village's citizens, Vezam
Pozov has been made relatively rich by doing trade with the occasional
adventurer or merchant from Xalt, Vospire, and beyond. This storefront may
be modest, but to the villagers of Colyon, they all have a stake in it.

baubles and fishing lures. His skin is dried and marked with lines, a sign
that he probably spent a considerable amount of time in the Beltan sun,
working at his hobby, or in this case, way of life. His hands are
well-tuned tools, expert in the art of tying fishing line and experienced in
the craft of bringing in the huge haul.

The path slopes upward to the south, nearing the apex of the hill upon
which Colyon is situated. The hill is fairly low, low enough that there is
no treeline. Ash trees cover the island, with no differential ratio of any
particular notice. They cover the shore, near the shore opposite the
regular, sweltering jungle, they cover the interior, and they cover the hill
in the center. The drows' terraforming efforts have worked well. A
temperate, dry shade hangs over the island like a gypsy's curse, allowing
the Arien'dyth expatriates to exist as comfortably in the tropical jungles
of Beltane as easily as they do the subterranean caverns.

destitute in a party of exiles is another. His home, a simple tent, is
patched and weather-beaten, as are the few pieces of meager furniture that
populate it. He might be a drunkard, if he had the money to buy alcohol
from the merchants that pass through. He does smell of salt and mud,
though. So perhaps he makes some small living on mining salt from the
nearby Wampo.

in the center. The drows' terraforming efforts have worked well. A
temperate, dry shade hangs over the island like a gypsy's curse, allowing
the Arien'dyth expatriates to exist as comfortably in the tropical jungles
of Beltane as easily as they do the subterranean caverns.

A Peaceful Lane NW - #

This gently-sloping lane reaches its peak here, the highest public spot
in Colyon. This is about halfway down the main street, if it can be called
that, but there is so little development in this village, that there are no
shops. To the southeast there are some huts, visible through the trees, as
well as some more, and a single storefront, off to the northwest. To the
northeast is a walkway to the only point on this skinny isle higher than the
point at which you are now. A house sits on the bluff, looking over the the
Stream, towards the infested jungle. It's much nicer here anyhow.

The House on the Bluff - - -

Luxurious by local standards, the furniture within Vezam Pozov's house is
made from sturdy oak, and varnished with expensive fish oil. The rest of
this single-room home is the same, similar to other local houses, but with
the nice touches that make it a relief to come home, after fishing under the
sweltering tropical sun all day. This house's location is prime, possibly
the best homestead in all of Colyon. It overlooks the Wampo Stream, far
down the steep cliff to the northeast, and is close enough that a long
fishing pole would allow anyone who wished to do so to fish without leaving
the confines of the house. A small wooden chest almost hides in the
southern corner of the room.

The ash trees that have been planted haphazardly along the side of the
road cast their great shadows over the village of Colyon, the ideal
environment for a group of outcast drow. Inhabited by refugees from the
great underground city of Arien'dyth, shadows play a significant role for
the citizens of this quiet hamlet. A small trail off to the northeast leads
up to a grassy outcropping, while a walkway southwest casts inviting sounds.
The rest of the village lies northwest, but all the noise is coming from the
thatched hut southwestward.
There is a weathered wooden hitching post here.

Hint: Only four of the original group of twelve pilgrams still reside in Colyon today.

Mama Kjarlow's place may be at the south end of the village, but it's
actually the center of Colyon's activities. Her house bustles with
activity, as far as drow sociality goes, and if there's ever anything going
on, it's probably here. Her house isn't the nicest, or the largest, and her
furniture even has some splinters, which tend to jab people where they don't
want to be jabbed, but for many locals, this is their home away from home.
(Gold Aura) An altar covered in candles bathes a corner of the room in soft white light.
A pudgy drow woman sits at her dining table.
An old drow sits here at the dining room table.
Mama Kjarlow sneers at you. Why does she hold you in such contempt?

look drow
A polite word for Mama Kjarlow would be ample. She is ample. Not just
in terms of her hips, but also her generosity, friendliness, and prejudice
against those filthy, goddamn elves. She's quite a remarkable woman,
talented and independent. She is a wonderful baker, a steadfast anchor of
the community, a talented fisher, and one of the founders of Colyon. Her
only flaw, or some might say best trait of all, is her overwhelming hatred
of elves.
She is a drow approximately 4'7" tall.
Mama Kjarlow is in good health.

look 2.drow
This old fellow stares down at the rushing water in a perplexed, and
somewhat perturbed manner. Maybe the fish aren't biting, or maybe they're
just too small, but something obviously has him peeved. He exchanges the
piece of dried meat dangling from his bent steel hook for a piece of fruit,
and drops the thin metal instrument back down into the water, hoping for
better luck this time. For some reason you seem to sense that he's upset
with his current fishing style, noting the tiny pile of cheap lures near him
that he simply refuses to touch.
He is a drow approximately 4'8" tall.
