First post! An semi-old log found from the depts
Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2009 2:06 pm
Disclaimer: This is a rather old thing that happened a while backwards. I think I was going towards the smugglers in Braem Woods, when..
Middle of Andor Road
Houses thin and high, or wide and short made of red brick line the north side
of the street. Gardens of flowers or greenery can be seen in the small front
yards or window boxes filled with flowers and trailing greenery sit in upper
and lower windows. The broad street is a bit dirty and rotting smells drift
from alleyways. To the north, between the numerous shops and houses, a tunnel
was built into the northern wall and within it stands a stout iron gate.
South, a long wide strip of land is covered with grass, flowers, and trees can
be seen to the sides and behind a wooden building with a sign outside it.

Braem Wood Gate
A tunnel was built through the three span thickness of Caemlyn's northern
walls. The massive white stone walls glitter faintly in the light. At exactly
the center of the tunnel a stout, black iron gate was built into the tunnel
walls and rises four spans up to the roof of the tunnel. Depending on the time
of day and the circumstances, the massive gates are often left open to admit
people in and out of the city.

Before the Braem Woods Gate of Caemlyn
The impressive walls of Caemlyn rise to the south, holding the magnificent
edifices of the city within its pale-stone arms. Towers of hundreds of hues
are visible, in as many designs as colors, all foresting the city with flags
and pendants and proud banners. A few palaces peek over the tower-spaced
walls, adding to the overall awe of the grand city. The largest and most
prominent of them rests in the city's heart, crowning a glorious hill.
Imiately to the south is the Braem Woods Gate, with a broad and heavily worn
path cutting through it.

In Clear View of Caemlyn City
The pale stone walls of Caemlyn seem to radiate a glowing aura, submerging the
capital with in a brilliance unblemished by darkness. The crowning palaces and
impossibly tall towers held within the walls compliment the city's
magnificence, reflecting the beauty of the surrounding landscape. All around
the city, the forest is held at bay by cultivated patches and grassy fields,
which spread off into all directions like the swells of a ripple. The Tar
Valon Road which meets up with the Braem Woods Gates presses north and south,
north to begin its long journey towards Tar Valon.

The Tar Valon Road In Sight of Caemlyn
Like a shimmering opal set in a rich sea of emerald, the capital city of Andor,
Caemlyn, is visible to the south, at the end of the broad roadway sprawled out
before you. The roadway is several paces wide- enough for two wagons to pass
one another easily- and slashes through the countryside surrounding the city.
The great shadowy forest known as Braem Woods is easily visible to the north, a
blanketing line drawn along the horizon, past the cultivated fields. The fields
off the road quilt the landscape in square of brown, gold, green and yellow.

The Tar Valon Road Passing Farmland
The crop fields surrounding Caemlyn spreads off from the road in all
directions, with painted fences separting properties, and farmhouses striking
up over the levelled landscape. The multicolored squares disappear into the
east and western horizon, while to the north, they stop before a shadowy mass
pulled along the horizon's length. The dark line marks the Braem Woods which
carpets much of northern Andor. The heart of the nation, Caemlyn, lies down
the path to the south. There, held within the city's walls, impossibly tall
towers and grand edifices lace the skies with liquid stone.

The Tar Valon Road Near Cultivated Fields
The orderly crop fields become more sparse to the north as the woods takes over
the landscape. The woods are easily traversable for a good many leagues to the
north, but in the horizon, the darker and more ominous mass known as Braem
Woods indicate that the path through it will be rigorous. The roadway leading
to and from the woods is sprawled out underfoot, a ribbon of rutted earth
slicing across the terrain like a festering scar. Though not visible from this
distance, a human settlement lies not too far to the south, and if the deep and
numerous furrows etched into the sod are any indication, it is a large city.

The Tar Valon Road Passing Thin Woods
Barely deserving of the name, the forest off the road offers scant shelter
against the strong winds which roam freely through northern Andor. There are
no hills or mountains to buffer the winds, and the few trees which sprout up
from the wind-combed landscape are stunted, waving their withered branches
mourningly. The trees grow darker and denser to the north, forming the
dull-green entrance of Braem Woods, while in the opposing direction, the trees
have completely been cleared away, paving way for beautiful patches of crop and
grazing fields. The crop fields set the scene for Caemlyn city beyond, which
is encompassed with gentle landscape.

Tar Valon Road South of the Braem Woods Entrance
ium woods surrounds the road, the trees and shrubbery managing to block out
much of the elements. Only a few patches of light ever enter this huddled
region; the narrow and scarce bars thieving through and striking the
litter-caked floor at angles. The trees knit closer and denser further north,
marking the entrance of Braem Woods, which lies beyond. Braem Woods, though
shadowed and ominous-looking, is filled with the noises of the forest. Calls
from birds and critters fill the air around it like an encompassing bubble,
with the sound of rustling leaves and branches murmuring in the background.
To the south, the trees thin out into thin forest, with crop fields peeking
along the far horizon.

The Tar Valon Road at the Entrance of Braem Woods
Marked by two great blackwoods standing off the road's border like an archway,
the entrance of Braem Woods greet those entering the dense forest in the north.
The path leading between the two trees is several paces wide, and judging by
the innumerable indentations, it is used quite often, and heavily. It ambles
north, into the shadowy recesses of Braem Woods, and south, on its final leg
towards Caemlyn city. Looking up, the densely woven canopy of leaf and
branches is the dominant feature. Amidst the dark foliage are many, many
animals who fill the air with their incessant chirps, songs and calls.

The Tar Valon Road North of the Braem Wood Entrance
The entrance of Braem Woods lies a short distance to the south, along this
hard-packed roadway. Blackwoods on either side of the roadway mark the
entrance, however the significance of the entrance is more than just two trees,
but the sense of entering wilderness. A clearly defined border extends east
and west of the entrance, for by an almost-sudden thickening of the brush
and trees. The land north of the border is pervaded by a carpet of lush and
dark flora, while south of it is the crop fields which pave the scene for the
capital city of this nation- Caemlyn.

Blackgums Off the Road
Stout and grim-looking blackgums dominate the scenery. They are all tall,
their branches a dull brown, their leaves large to capture the most amount of
light. Their thick roots writhe across the leaf-covered floor, surfacing in
areas to form a series of swells. The blackgums continue eastwards, growing
thickly as they meet with the Tar Valon Road, which cuts through them, north
and south. Slender pines stand to the north, their orderly ranks a marked
contrast to the stout trees here.

Some Silky Pines
Tall trees rise up from the ground, their thin branches hanging down toward the
earth, laden with long, silky needles. They are covered with wrinkled,
grayish-brown bark, and sway back and forth in even the slightest breeze.
Tall grass grows beneath the trees, with cream-colored tulips and red bells
adding color to the already scenic landscape. Thick briars line the edge of
the forest to the east and south.

birches and scraggly pines, with a large oak shading the ground.

A Tall Hedge
The forest extends to the east and north, but a wall of shrubs blocks the way
south and west. The hedge is close to three spans high, with small red berries
growing among the green leaves. A few small birds hide among the dense
branches, calling from their safe perches. Small trees cover the ground, a few
birches and scraggly pines, with a large oak shading the ground.

Tall trees rise up from the ground, their thin branches hanging down toward the

Tall grass grows beneath the trees, with cream-colored tulips and red bells

Slender pines march across the rich earth, forming beautifully orderly ranks
over the landscape. Their trunks, like grand towers, spear the skies with
nettle and branch. The ground is carpeted in their fallen needles, which
paints it all in hues of orange, brown and yellow. Because of the thick fleece
of neddles, there is not a shred of shrubbery about, as they make the soil too
caustic for others to grow. The pines extend out to the west, while the Tar

The Tar Valon Road in Braem Woods
The lush and vibrant foliage extending from the nearby forest sweeps into view,
the limbs and leaves painting the scenery in shades of yellow, green, brown and
all hues in between. Amidst all these natural wonders- from ancient trees to
newly sprouted ferns- the roadway underfoot is barely noticeable. The road's
borders are knotted with the roots of the roadside trees and rutted from use by
man. Creepers from the forest have gnawed away the fringes to a vague
definition, but considering its position, the road is in remarkable shape. It
leads north and south; north into a small bend, and south towards Caemlyn.

The Tar Valon Road North of the Braem Wood Entrance
The entrance of Braem Woods lies a short distance to the south, along this
hard-packed roadway. Blackwoods on either side of the roadway mark the
entrance, however the significance of the entrance is more than just two trees,
but the sense of entering wilderness. A clearly defined border extends east
and west of the entrance, for by an almost-sudden thickening of the brush
and trees. The land north of the border is pervaded by a carpet of lush and
dark flora, while south of it is the crop fields which pave the scene for the
capital city of this nation- Caemlyn.

Around a Small Bend
The curve is small and smooth, subtly shifting the course of road-travelers
east and south. Both directions lead into a screen of foliage, both a near
mirror image of one another. The forest surrounding the road is mainly of
pines and alders, though a few taller ironwoods and greenwoods can be found.
The trees are neatly spaced out over the landscape, and as such, travelling off
the road is easy. From the labyrinth of trunk and shrubbery comes the cries of
many, many animals, all of which contribute to the cacophony that rips through
the forest air.

Immense Woods Off the Road
Like elevated fountains spraying out greenery, the surrounding trees are
magnificent sights to behold. Each climb impossibly high into the sky, each
one clearly the product of many patient years. The forest floor is littered
with fallen leaves, which crunch and cackle as they are stepped on. High
overhead, the branches of the trees have meshed together, forming a covering of
green as complete as the carpet spread on the floor. A little way to the west
and south, a broad roadway can be made out, its hard-clay coloring standing out
clearly amidst the greenery of the landscape. Younger, lusher woods continue
from here into the east.

Middle of Andor Road
Houses thin and high, or wide and short made of red brick line the north side

from alleyways. To the north, between the numerous shops and houses, a tunnel
was built into the northern wall and within it stands a stout iron gate.
South, a long wide strip of land is covered with grass, flowers, and trees can
be seen to the sides and behind a wooden building with a sign outside it.

Braem Wood Gate
A tunnel was built through the three span thickness of Caemlyn's northern
walls. The massive white stone walls glitter faintly in the light. At exactly
the center of the tunnel a stout, black iron gate was built into the tunnel
walls and rises four spans up to the roof of the tunnel. Depending on the time
of day and the circumstances, the massive gates are often left open to admit
people in and out of the city.

Before the Braem Woods Gate of Caemlyn
The impressive walls of Caemlyn rise to the south, holding the magnificent
edifices of the city within its pale-stone arms. Towers of hundreds of hues
are visible, in as many designs as colors, all foresting the city with flags
and pendants and proud banners. A few palaces peek over the tower-spaced
walls, adding to the overall awe of the grand city. The largest and most
prominent of them rests in the city's heart, crowning a glorious hill.
Imiately to the south is the Braem Woods Gate, with a broad and heavily worn
path cutting through it.

The pale stone walls of Caemlyn seem to radiate a glowing aura, submerging the
capital with in a brilliance unblemished by darkness. The crowning palaces and
impossibly tall towers held within the walls compliment the city's
magnificence, reflecting the beauty of the surrounding landscape. All around
the city, the forest is held at bay by cultivated patches and grassy fields,
which spread off into all directions like the swells of a ripple. The Tar
Valon Road which meets up with the Braem Woods Gates presses north and south,
north to begin its long journey towards Tar Valon.

The Tar Valon Road In Sight of Caemlyn
Like a shimmering opal set in a rich sea of emerald, the capital city of Andor,
Caemlyn, is visible to the south, at the end of the broad roadway sprawled out
before you. The roadway is several paces wide- enough for two wagons to pass
one another easily- and slashes through the countryside surrounding the city.
The great shadowy forest known as Braem Woods is easily visible to the north, a
blanketing line drawn along the horizon, past the cultivated fields. The fields
off the road quilt the landscape in square of brown, gold, green and yellow.

The Tar Valon Road Passing Farmland
The crop fields surrounding Caemlyn spreads off from the road in all
directions, with painted fences separting properties, and farmhouses striking
up over the levelled landscape. The multicolored squares disappear into the
east and western horizon, while to the north, they stop before a shadowy mass
pulled along the horizon's length. The dark line marks the Braem Woods which
carpets much of northern Andor. The heart of the nation, Caemlyn, lies down
the path to the south. There, held within the city's walls, impossibly tall
towers and grand edifices lace the skies with liquid stone.

The Tar Valon Road Near Cultivated Fields
The orderly crop fields become more sparse to the north as the woods takes over
the landscape. The woods are easily traversable for a good many leagues to the
north, but in the horizon, the darker and more ominous mass known as Braem
Woods indicate that the path through it will be rigorous. The roadway leading
to and from the woods is sprawled out underfoot, a ribbon of rutted earth
slicing across the terrain like a festering scar. Though not visible from this
distance, a human settlement lies not too far to the south, and if the deep and
numerous furrows etched into the sod are any indication, it is a large city.

The Tar Valon Road Passing Thin Woods
Barely deserving of the name, the forest off the road offers scant shelter
against the strong winds which roam freely through northern Andor. There are
no hills or mountains to buffer the winds, and the few trees which sprout up
from the wind-combed landscape are stunted, waving their withered branches
mourningly. The trees grow darker and denser to the north, forming the
dull-green entrance of Braem Woods, while in the opposing direction, the trees
have completely been cleared away, paving way for beautiful patches of crop and
grazing fields. The crop fields set the scene for Caemlyn city beyond, which
is encompassed with gentle landscape.

Tar Valon Road South of the Braem Woods Entrance
ium woods surrounds the road, the trees and shrubbery managing to block out
much of the elements. Only a few patches of light ever enter this huddled
region; the narrow and scarce bars thieving through and striking the
litter-caked floor at angles. The trees knit closer and denser further north,
marking the entrance of Braem Woods, which lies beyond. Braem Woods, though
shadowed and ominous-looking, is filled with the noises of the forest. Calls
from birds and critters fill the air around it like an encompassing bubble,
with the sound of rustling leaves and branches murmuring in the background.
To the south, the trees thin out into thin forest, with crop fields peeking
along the far horizon.

Marked by two great blackwoods standing off the road's border like an archway,
the entrance of Braem Woods greet those entering the dense forest in the north.
The path leading between the two trees is several paces wide, and judging by
the innumerable indentations, it is used quite often, and heavily. It ambles
north, into the shadowy recesses of Braem Woods, and south, on its final leg
towards Caemlyn city. Looking up, the densely woven canopy of leaf and
branches is the dominant feature. Amidst the dark foliage are many, many
animals who fill the air with their incessant chirps, songs and calls.

The Tar Valon Road North of the Braem Wood Entrance
The entrance of Braem Woods lies a short distance to the south, along this
hard-packed roadway. Blackwoods on either side of the roadway mark the
entrance, however the significance of the entrance is more than just two trees,
but the sense of entering wilderness. A clearly defined border extends east
and west of the entrance, for by an almost-sudden thickening of the brush
and trees. The land north of the border is pervaded by a carpet of lush and
dark flora, while south of it is the crop fields which pave the scene for the
capital city of this nation- Caemlyn.

Stout and grim-looking blackgums dominate the scenery. They are all tall,
their branches a dull brown, their leaves large to capture the most amount of
light. Their thick roots writhe across the leaf-covered floor, surfacing in
areas to form a series of swells. The blackgums continue eastwards, growing
thickly as they meet with the Tar Valon Road, which cuts through them, north
and south. Slender pines stand to the north, their orderly ranks a marked

Under the Gaze of Silky Pines
Slender pines march across the rich earth, forming beautifully orderly ranks
over the landscape. Their trunks, like grand towers, spear the skies with
nettle and branch. The ground is carpeted in their fallen needles, which
paints it all in hues of orange, brown and yellow. Because of the thick fleece
of neddles, there is not a shred of shrubbery about, as they make the soil too
caustic for others to grow. The pines extend out to the west, while the Tar
Valon Road lies in the opposing direction. To the north is mixed woods, while to

The Tar Valon Road in Braem Woods
The lush and vibrant foliage extending from the nearby forest sweeps into view,
the limbs and leaves painting the scenery in shades of yellow, green, brown and
all hues in between. Amidst all these natural wonders- from ancient trees to
newly sprouted ferns- the roadway underfoot is barely noticeable. The road's
borders are knotted with the roots of the roadside trees and rutted from use by
man. Creepers from the forest have gnawed away the fringes to a vague
definition, but considering its position, the road is in remarkable shape. It
leads north and south; north into a small bend, and south towards Caemlyn.

The Tar Valon Road North of the Braem Wood Entrance
The entrance of Braem Woods lies a short distance to the south, along this
hard-packed roadway. Blackwoods on either side of the roadway mark the
entrance, however the significance of the entrance is more than just two trees,
but the sense of entering wilderness. A clearly defined border extends east
and west of the entrance, for by an almost-sudden thickening of the brush
and trees. The land north of the border is pervaded by a carpet of lush and
dark flora, while south of it is the crop fields which pave the scene for the
capital city of this nation- Caemlyn.

light. Their thick roots writhe across the leaf-covered floor, surfacing in

thickly as they meet with the Tar Valon Road, which cuts through them, north
and south. Slender pines stand to the north, their orderly ranks a marked
contrast to the stout trees here.

caustic for others to grow. The pines extend out to the west, while the Tar

Tall trees rise up from the ground, their thin branches hanging down toward the

grayish-brown bark, and sway back and forth in even the slightest breeze.
Tall grass grows beneath the trees, with cream-colored tulips and red bells
adding color to the already scenic landscape. Thick briars line the edge of
the forest to the east and south.

Some Silky Pines
Tall pine trees stand next to one another, long silky needles drooping from
their branches. The ground is covered with the fallen needles, turning it a
deep orange as they dry. Nothing else can grow in the acidic soil beneath this
cover, leaving the pines as the sole inhabitants in this part of the woods.
The pines continue to the south, while some large willows grow in the lower
ground to the north. Some blossoming trees are visible in the west.

Around a Small Bend
The curve is small and smooth, subtly shifting the course of road-travelers
east and south. Both directions lead into a screen of foliage, both a near
mirror image of one another. The forest surrounding the road is mainly of
pines and alders, though a few taller ironwoods and greenwoods can be found.
The trees are neatly spaced out over the landscape, and as such, travelling off
the road is easy. From the labyrinth of trunk and shrubbery comes the cries of
many, many animals, all of which contribute to the cacophony that rips through
the forest air.

Immense Woods Off the Road
Like elevated fountains spraying out greenery, the surrounding trees are
magnificent sights to behold. Each climb impossibly high into the sky, each
one clearly the product of many patient years. The forest floor is littered
with fallen leaves, which crunch and cackle as they are stepped on. High
overhead, the branches of the trees have meshed together, forming a covering of
green as complete as the carpet spread on the floor. A little way to the west
and south, a broad roadway can be made out, its hard-clay coloring standing out
clearly amidst the greenery of the landscape. Younger, lusher woods continue
from here into the east.
