Along the Eastern Road 
  Constructed of great slabs of closely fitted stone, a wide and well-
traveled road runs to the east and west here alongside a narrow but deep
rocky crevice that splits the earth just to the north.  The rocky land,
resplendent in faded colors of brown, red, and yellow, spreads out in all
directions, blending seamlessly into the endlessly swirling Sands of
Sorrow to the southeast.  Tough plants with spiny leaves dot the
surrounding landscape, growing in small clumps where moisture collects
close to the surface.
