To your north you see the southwest entryway of the great Octafoliate
Church.  The smooth pathway is made of a strange concrete, composed of lime
mortar, volcanic sand, water, and small stones.  The resulting mix gives an
unusual black surface, complimenting the evergreen environment that borders
its sides.  The pathway continues east and west.
