A Small Valley
  A small valley splits the Feanwyyn Weald here, slashing through the forest to 
the east and west.  Thick grass carpets the ground, undulating in waves as a 
gentle breeze blows from the west, carrying with it a strange musty scent 
that seems vaguely familiar.  Bright sunlight glints off of white rocks that 
lie scattered about the ground, most half-buried in the high grass, testament 
to the forces of nature that formed this rift and continue to shape it.  A 
small stream bubbles happily as it tumbles over the rocks that line its bed, 
flowing from the west to the east on its journey towards the river.
