A Secluded Forest Trail
Here the trail appears to be less dense. Large trees form a small canopy of
shelter from the harsh environment that dwells outside of this forest. The
ground has small patches of grass and moss, most of which is trampled in
its attempt to grow on this traversed ground. Dead leaves, both brown and
orange litter the path here, as if fall is an eternal season this far south.
Low hanging branches scratch at your face, hanging so low that it is almost
painful walking through this brush. A small stump lays in the middle of the
path here, cut brutally by what appears to be a massive axe of sorts. You can
continue to the east and west here.

A Turn in a Secluded Forest Trail
Here there is an abrupt turn in the forest. To each side rests a small stump
where once grew mighty trees. A brutal cut can still be seen in the wooden
behemoth, marking the severe end of this plant's life. Prints in the ground
are distinctly that of giants, and probably lead toward the city further to
the south. Dead leaves of brown and orange litter the ground, marking the
eternal autumn that these woods have come to know. You can continue further
north and east here.
