A Small Trail Among the Dry Trees
  Short, stunted trees rise up to either side here, barely eking out an 
existence in the arid soil.  Brown leaves dot the branches that extend down 
almost to waist height, making passage through this dense thicket difficult, 
save for the little trail that winds through here.  To the north, a large road 
can be made out cutting a huge swath from east to west, while to the south, 
the trail leads deeper into the forest of stubby trees.

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.  The rocky land slopes 
gradually away to the east and south in a broad panorama of faded brown,
red and yellow.  Barren and arid, this forbidding land merges almost
seamlessly into the swirling Sands of Sorrow to the southeast.  To the
west and north the land slopes upward gradually through the last of the
trees, finally reaching the crest of this rise.

Within a Misty Ruin
  Ancient, ruined stone pillars rise up before you.  Worn down and broken
with age, it seems as though this place was once a holy shrine and is now
a curious reliquary of memory and magic.  Age has robbed the pillars of most
of their detail, but you can still faintly see magical runes carved in their
sides.  A bit of worn gilt has mostly flaked off their edges.  White, wispy
mists curl around the base of the pillars and the ground beneath your feet.
The surrounding jungle seems to constantly threaten this small place, yet it
is somehow held back by the holy aura of this relic.  Giant banyan trees
covered in vines and moss rise up around this small incline, appearing to
guard it.  A pathway has been opened to the east and west, and the sounds 
of the jungle echo from the south.

The sleek form of a midnight black jaguar prowls these ruins.

Within a Misty Ruin
  Jungle vines hang down in curtains, surrounding this small relic.  Tiny
leaves bud from them, as well as a few thorns and brilliant, lush jungle
blossoms.  Huge banyans stretch their branches overhead and to the east
and south of you.  Between the banyans, vines and other foliage, the 
jungle seems nearly impenetrable.  To the northwest, ancient stone pillars
rise from the ground, each one worn and broken by time.  Beyond them, 
through the jungle moss, vines and blossoms, there seems to be some sort
of white glow emanating from the center of the ruin.  The jungle shies 
away from the pathway north and east, giving you a clear way around the
structure.  Mists curl around the stone pillars, mingling with jungle
vines and adding a mystical quality to the moss and flowers.  Spreading
over the base of this area, you can barely make out the ground through the
mist.

Within the Jungle Vines and Mists
  The mists rise here, blocking the view of the ground completely.  They
mingle and entwine with the jungle vines, creating a misty, green curtain
to separate you from the surrounding jungle.  To the east, eerie stone 
pillars rise up from the mists.  The pillars are worn down with age, but
you can see faded runes carved over their surfaces.  At the center of the
one closest to the path, you can see what looks like a long, vicious claw
mark drawn through one of them.  Beyond the stone pillars, through the mists
there seems to be a white, holy glow emanating from the center of the ruin.
The pathway continues north, where the mists seem to ebb and swirl, and 
south, where they seem to fade slightly.

Within a Misty Ruin
  The reliquary is silent here, strange and seeming out of place in the
middle of this noisy jungle.  White mists swirl and flow through the canopy
of banyan branches and vines that guard this holy place.  Brilliantly
colored blossoms bloom from the vines, emitting a sweet scent to the still
air.  The west and north are completely blocked by the jungle foliage, and
the white mist tangled in it gives the foliage an oddly wall-like look.
To the southwest, you see an ancient ruin.  It seems to have once been a
holy temple comprised of stone pillars.  Some of the pillars still arc
over into buttresses, yet most of the top of the structure has crumbled.
Runes of all types have been carved into the stones, some faded and nearly
unrecognizable by the worries of time, others seemingly newer and revived.
Within the center of the ruin, you can see an odd, white glow emenating
through the mists that swirl throughout.  The path around the ruin goes
to the east or the south.

A Mist-Covered Altar
  Rising from the mists that cover the pathway is a large stone altar.  
What you can see of its base is covered in jungle moss, though the rest 
of it seems untouched by the surrounding jungle.  The altar seems to have, 
at one point, been rather ornately decorated and carved, but the ravages of
time have dulled its edges and robbed it of its gilt.  Now, it is a plain
stone structure, pure and released from its decadent decor.  Runes have
been carved into its surface, and one corner has what looks to be claw 
marks.  A few simple green candles have been placed upon it, their flames
never seeming to ebb no matter how the wind blows.  A stone longspear has
been placed before the candles, simple in its quality and carving.  The 
pathway opens to the south here, to the center of the ruin, otherwise it
continues east and west around the perimeter.

The bluish figure you see before you would loom over most men with imposing
height. He is adorned in a suit of knightly battle armor etched with the
signs of his faith. From between the slots in his visor stare back two
greenish orbs, swirling with ecstasy. His massive limbs clutch his weapon, an
object most men could not hope to wield through their physical strength
alone. As if part of the earth itself, he stands with a sure footing that
defines his durable posture, as if to represent a tangible tenant of his
faith.

The form of an elf stands before you, every inch a warrior in bearing, 
body and soul.  She is tall and slim, physically lean and muscular without 
being wiry.  Her hair is golden blond, falling in a straight and shimmering 
curtain over her shoulders and down her back.  Large blue eyes framed with 
pale lashes are set over high cheekbones.  Her skin is deeply tanned, and it
is clear that this woman spends most of her time out of doors.  Several 
freckles scatter over her cheeks and decorate her forehead.  This elven woman
moves with an almost uncanny, lithe grace reminiscient of an prowling animal.
Never far from her hand is a spear that glows with its own holy light.  She
seems a part of it, as though the weapon itself completes her.  Dressed in 
leathers and with her hair hanging free, this elf has a barbaric air 
about her.
Baerinika, a female elf, is in perfect health.

The Main Altar of the Cathedral of the Holy Light
  A large altar dominates the center of the cathedral here, carved of pristine
white marble and set into the highly polished floor which has been patterned
into the appearance of a circle of golden stars on a white field. Closer
examination of each star reveals that each represents one of the benevolent
gods that reign over the heavens. Small shrines to the various immortals lie
in alcoves along the length of the cathedral and each is also represented
by stylized symbols in the stained glass window above each alcove. Behind
the altar you see the charity chests, where the downtrodden recover their
possessions, and where the charitable can make donations. The cathedral
continues to the north, while to the south you see the foyer of a domed
chapel. On each side of the altar, twin spiralling staircases ascend the
cathedral tower.
