  This is the intersection between Main Street and Dragon's Road.  Pale citizens
mill about a large statue of a warrior standing victoriously over a slain
dragon.  Main Street leads east and west and Dragon's Road runs north and

into a hole in the ground, and a dank smell wafts up from whatever lurks

  Constructed of great slabs of closely fitted stone, a wide and well-
traveled road runs to the east and west here through dry and barren land.
Rising steeply to the north, the ground folds and wrinkles into a
wasteland of rocky cliffs and defiles, atop which crouches a dark and
forbidding wood.  The endlessly swirling Sands of Sorrow stretch
southward to the limit of the horizon.  A large building made of desert-
colored stone lies just off the road to the north.

You flicker and blur into the shape of an eagle.
You maintain your speed as you shapeshift.
You fail to maintain your levitation.
You fail to maintain your phase.
You no longer feel in control of your translucence.
You feel a surge of magical power from your unstable mutation.

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.  An enormous, ancient maple
tree towers to the north, dominating the smaller trees that form the
outskirts of a thick forest that spreads out to the north and west.
Rocky, arid ground stretches out in all other directions to the limit of
the horizon, the only growth small clumps of scrub and isolated copses of
bent and twisted trees.
