You are walking down a woodland path that leads to the towne center in
the north.  The trail here is very wide and can accommodate heavy wagon
traffic.  The forest outside the trail is not as towering as in other parts
of the town.  Clearings can be seen through the trees at regular intervals. 
This place must look breathtaking in the fall.  Just to the east of here is
a rather wide gravel road that wanders off into the forest towards the
Maradas residential section of town.  
A weary adventurer is wandering the streets looking for a place to rest.
A furry chipmunk is perched on a dead log.
A traveling merchant journeys the roads.
    You sense a hidden life form in the area.
A man covered in glowing blue tattoos and oily overalls kneels before the pylon, tinkering.
