    <description>Flurries of chilling wind sweep down almost constantly from the snow-packed peaks, their icy fingers seeming to search for warmth to destroy.  To the north are the majestic Himineldar -- rocky giants laced with ribbons of green trees that grow sparse and then fade away at the uppermost reaches.  A dense mist hangs around the heights, giving the mountains a hazy, dreamlike aura from this distance.  Among the wind-gnarled pines of the foothills, the road continues along its winding path.</description>

    <description>Heat radiates steadily from a firepit just behind the potter's tent.  River stones have been piled up above the hot coals, and a planked pine framework placed over them with a second fire burning on top -- the whole creating an inferno from which the distinctive Horse Clan pottery is born.  Nearby, large baskets of cedar kindling and dried horse manure stand ready to replenish the hungry flames.</description>

    <description>As the open roadway clings to the massive flank of the mountain, the forest seems to glower angrily, its branches clawing for complete dominion of the valley.  Only the crushing passage of enormous beasts has kept the mikkhalbamar at bay.  A tangled deadfall stretches deep into the trees while a massive crag to the south opens into a narrow canyon walled by sheer cliffs.</description>

Silent evidence of battle litters the ground riven siege towers, wrecked onagers and shattered scorpions have been trodden nearly to splinters by time and the footfalls of great beasts.</description>

    <description>The peak of Wyvern Mountain rises to pierce the sky, offering an unbroken view that spans multiple provinces.  Raven's Point nestles in the mountains of Forfedhdar, while Corik's Wall steadfastly guards the Blackthorn Canyon.  Shard's bridges and towers grace the many converging rivers to the east, while past the Dragonspine mountains, the Sana'ati Dyaus tree of Leth Deriel is in full bloom, just before the city of Crossing at the horizon.  Snow covers much of the land, Elanthia frozen in lonely grey as it sleeps in winter's grasp.</description>
    <description>The peak of Wyvern Mountain rises to pierce the night sky, offering a clear view of both the heavens and the darkened land.  The lights of Raven's Point shine in the mountains of Forfedhdar, while the southern lands lie dark under the cloak of night.  Shard's glow plays off the the many converging rivers to the east, while past the dark fingers of the Dragonspine mountains, the city of Crossing illuminates the horizon.  Darkness settles over the land, quieting the view from the lonely mountain peak.</description>

    <description>Falling like a curtain from the canopy, a wall of vines has interwoven itself so tightly that it blocks further passage in some directions.  Game trails twist their way through the rest of the trees, joining and parting like a meandering stream.</description>

    <description>Broad branches provide a safe place to escape the crowded forest floor with its dangerous creatures and cloying vegetation.  Unfortunately, further progress up the tree is blocked by a heavy growth of vines and creepers that has so intermingled that it is like a living wall.</description>
