You are in a wooded area near the village of Lasler.  Although they are
rather difficult to see from here, there are snow-covered mountains
surrounding the area.  You can hear small animals moving about in the
undergrowth.  If you pay attention, perhaps you will see some of them.  You
can hear a loud roaring sound, as of water, from the south.  
A thick swarm of insects buzzes around here.
