You let forth the piercing cry of a hunting phoenix, ripping open a portal of shimmering light!
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.  Hardwood trees grow to
either side of the road, beyond a wide stretch of low growth and brush
that keeps the forest at a respectable distance.  To the northeast, the
youthful trees that populate the outskirts of the forest start to give
way to those more ancient that live at its heart.  The crowns of these
ancient giants are visible through the thin foliage and branches
overhead, towering above the surrounding trees.
