A Well-Traveled Path                                   -      N      -

The path here seems to be worn down from constant use.  It leads you
directly toward a large castle to the north.  To either side of you are dark
forestland and some open plains.  As an owl flies silently above you, the
mournful howl of a wolf can be heard in the distance.
