Maddersmith Smithy -((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))- You stand on the smithing floor of the Maddersmith. It's a hot, dirty and noisy place, filled with redheaded male dwarves of various ages, all carefully smolting, pouring, casting and polishing pieces of metal. The smell is horrid, but they don't appear to mind. They remain, instead, firmly attentive to their tasks and completely ignore you. Well, almost completely. One notices you standing there and gives you an impatient look. "Looking for the scuffle place, are you? Well stop your staring around at us and go there!" he points to a chamber to the east.

The Maddersmith Hut -((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))- You stand in the hut of Realgar Madder, the dwarven smith. It is a spacious hut, well-made and strong. The room in which you stand appears to serve as a finishing room for a metalshop. Several young male dwarves, all sporting shocks of red hair on their heads and faces, are busily polishing and detailing various pieces of armor. The finished pieces sit in small piles, ready to sell. An aged red dwarf, presumably Realgar, paces the floor as he inspects the work of his underlings, giving direction wherever he sees fit to do so. For the most part, none of them take particular notice of you. A broad earthen staircase leads down into the ground, and the sounds ringing hammers and puffing bellows can be heard spewing up from below. -((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))- You can go: Down the Steps <D>, Out <NE> Contents: A wolf with a jagged scar on her underbelly (Caileana) Pricelist Realgar Madder, the Blacksmith Snowback arrives, following Caileana.

Madderholt -((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))- You find yourself in a small dwarven settlement nestled within a grove of firs. There are only a few scattered structures here, most of them appearing to be shops or other public buildings. The largest of these sits at the southwest part of the grove. It appears to be an armory, and you can hear the distant sounds of hammers coming from somewhere within. Each strike of a hammer shakes the ground at your feet. The grove extends southward for some distance, and you can make out more structures there. To the west, the forest continues toward the cliffs, while you can hear the sound of flowing water to the east. -((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))- You can go: Tannery <N>, Path to the Swineyard <NE>, Alehouse <NW>, Toward the Huts <S>, Maddersmith <SW>, Toward the Riverbank <E>, Deeper into the Wood <W> Contents: A wolf with a jagged scar on her underbelly (Caileana) Snowback arrives, following Caileana.

Shuddering Wood -((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))- The Shuddering Wood comes by its name honestly. It forms a particularly dense stand of trees here at the base of the Western Cliffs, and the wood has a faintly wary air about it, as if the trees themselves are watching you suspiciously as you tread beneath their boughs. Nonetheless, it appears they bear you no ill will, as they do nothing to impede your passage. Peculiarly, the ground literally shakes every so often. The sensation is faint, almost imperceptible, but it does feel as if the entire area is shuddering. The wood continues in all directions but west, as the cliffs rise up in that direction and block any further progress there. A baneberry bush grows at the base of them. There is a glade of some kind to the east, and a stand of conifer trees to the south. -((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))- You can go: Into the Fir Grove <E>, Into the Hemlock Grove <S>, North <N> Contents: A wolf with a jagged scar on her underbelly (Caileana) Snowback arrives, following Caileana.

They are quite dense, growing as they are in the vales between the foothills here at the base of the cliffs. Overhead, the crags of the cliffs jut out from the cliff face, and there are rocks lying about that look as though they must have fallen from above. A cave entrance can be seen here, where it looks as though a spring may have once flowed from the cliff-face but has since gone dry. To the north of you, a grassy knoll rises up along the cliffbase. -((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))-((*))- You can go: Into the Shuddering Wood <S>, Up the Foothill <N> Contents: A wolf with a jagged scar on her underbelly (Caileana) Snowback arrives, following Caileana.

At the Base of the Western Cliffs -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The grassy knoll on which you stand almost butts up against the cliff wall. The transition is quite abrupt, as if the rocky crags of the mountain was forced up through a grassy carpet. It rises high above you, almost seeming to touch the sky. As you gaze upward, your view is obscured by clouds up high, and the leaves of the scrubby little apple tree that struggles to grow here. The knoll itself falls away to the north and south. To the north, the ground slopes down into a little sheltered valley, and to the south you see a the lowlands rolling on. In the distance, you can make out a little wood nestled between the hills. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You can go: Down toward the Wood <S>, Into the Sheltered Glen <N> Contents: A wolf with a jagged scar on her underbelly (Caileana) Snowback arrives, following Caileana.

"I know, and it's absolutely the most exciting thing since...raspberries. Petraverd and Glyn, standing tall after winning the melee contest.

They scamper further into the forest. <Saving> "And all the colors...banners from everywhere in Narnia, all fluttering in the breeze. Oh, and just think of the food. As far as the eye can see.

"Eh, the benefit of long years of training, that. And instinct. I'm just a humble Scout." You are feeling poorly. You are feeling poorly.

Not so peculiar, but behind it someone has mounted a large piece of slate. A short, squatty (even for a dwarf) redheaded dwarf stands at the bar, clad in a greasy apron and sporting singemarks on his face and hands. The firepit, which sits below the slateboard and has something spluttery cooking on it, is probably the reason why.

Comfortable, that is, if you don't mind the bits of thatch that have fallen on them from the roof above, and the occasional damp spot where weather got in.
