the perimeter of an old marsh. To the east, the embankment seems
suddenly drop off, collapsing in that direction, while to the north

A Broken Marsh Road
  You have reached a watery stretch of a broken road that runs east
and west through a humid marsh. Broken slates from a long forgotten
road protrude up from the thick quagmire of the marsh, serving as
sort of staggered stepping stones that wind lazily through the
bogs. To the east, the water seems free enough of marsh grass and
debris for you to wade through the water in that direction, the
water bubbling and splashing with activity. To the north the
bogwaters are shallow enough to cross to a muddy shore.

  You are walking along an old, broken road that runs north and south
through a humid marsh. Broken slates and flagstones from a long
forgotten road protrude up from the thick quagmire of the marsh,
serving as sort  of staggered stepping stones that wind lazily
through the bogs. To the west, the swamp is deep and impassible,
further obstructed by the thick growth of marsh grass and tall
reeds in the distance. To the south and north, the broken road
allows you to pick careful footing through the swamp, while to
the east the bogwaters become shallow enough for travel.

meets firmer ground at some tall gates, while to the south the thick
wall of a fortress blocks further progress. To the east a dense

  Emerging in mossy darkness harmonious with the languid threat of the swamp, a 
small courtyard of plain undressed stone rises from the fetid waters towards a 
tall black-rusted gate set into the vine-covered walls of a sprawling grey 
stone Keep.  The sheer and towering walls rise above the tallest of the 
surrounding trees, topped by twin towers that reign over the green squalor of 
the surrounding quagmire with a clumsy, masculine grandeur.  Perhaps it is the 
moist-rotting ambiance of the swamp or the absence of sky or light, blocked 
solidly from sight by the tangled limbs of drooping, matronly trees, but this 
spot and the slowly decaying edifice ahead seem ominous, abandoned by all 
benign life and left only to the hungry and the mad.

  There must be a fair number of people who seek to avoid passing through
the keep itself, for the trail on which you walk has been worn into the
ground by the passage of numerous souls. The high wall of the keep is a
solid presence as you follow the trail, the unfinished stone rough against
your hands and cold to the touch on this sunless north side. To the east
you can see the High Lord's men standing post at the main gate, and
more of them walk the walls above. North, the land slopes gently away 
until somewhere beyond sight it ends in the swamps. To the west, this
trail continues.

to swing wide to accommodate it. High above you is one of the corner
watchtowers -- although what there is to see out here is somewhat of a
mystery -- and the trail continues to the east and south. North and west,
the land has been cleared of much of its cover. This is so the sentries
can easily see anyone trying to approach the castle walls and fire down
on them with an unobstructed line of sight. Given the height and thickness
of these walls, it would have to be a very large or very suicidal army to
attempt such a siege.

  The trees and shrubs grow quite close to the wall. Standard practice
for those who inhabit fortified territory is to keep the land near the
walls cleared, so as to provide no cover to any besiegers. It is plain
to see that this policy was once enforced here too -- the woods are
noticeably thicker about 300 yards away from the wall -- but grasses,
shrubs, and even small trees have begun to push up in the intervening
area, encroaching on what was once barren land. Judging by the growth,
it has probably been ten to fifteen years since anyone properly cleared
this patch of ground. Perhaps the High Lord doesn't fear attack from this
direction, or perhaps his men have just gotten lazy.

heads straight into the heart of that jungle; as you travel it, things
begin to become darker and more forbidding, and the cries and screams of
unfamiliar creatures can be heard. The tall trees block out the sun and a
fine mist fills the air.
