The following is a rough draft of what will eventually be a continuously updated listing of all major resting locations throughout Elanthia. Formatting of said information is still being fine tuned to present the data as clearly, and as legibly as is possible. It will be my goal to adjust the information for each room listed, as well as adding or removing rooms as decided by what manner of player feedback is provided. For now, please send any data that you are SURE of to GS4Evarin@Gmail.com and I will eventually update accordingly.

WEHNIMER'S LANDING

[Town Square, Small Park]

A small, shaded park fills an old vacant lot behind a row of buildings, the bright lamplight from the square filtering through the passage to the north to illuminate the area with a soft glow. A weatherworn grey marble statue of a stocky human in pioneer's clothing overlooks the park, his stone hat encrusted by the gifts of decades of passing birds and his right hand half-upraised as if it once held some now-missing object. You also see some ornate wrought-iron benches.

[Wehnimer's, Cul-de-Sac]

Broken bottles, discarded rubbish, and uneasy feelings pervade this dank, ill-lit dead end. Several unsavory-looking citizens seem to be lurking here and there in the shadows for want of anything better to do, and the scratching of rats can be heard from within the nearby walls. A pile of old crates is stacked against the back wall of the alley. You also see an empty wooden crate.

Features:


[Town Square Central]

This is the heart of the main square of Wehnimer's Landing. The impromptu shops of the bazaar are clustered around this central gathering place, where townsfolk, travellers, and adventurers meet to talk, conspire or raise expeditions to the far-flung reaches of Elanith. At the north end, an old well, with moss-covered stones and a craggy roof, is shaded from the moonlight by a strong, robust tree. The oak is tall and straight, and it is apparent that the roots run deep. You also see some stone benches with some stuff on it.

[Wayside Inn, Garret]

Quiet laughter and subdued conversation punctuate the otherwise peaceful atmosphere of this little room tucked beneath the garret of the inn.

Sanctuary? No

Features:


[Wayside Inn, Chamber]

Tables and chairs of all shapes, sizes and states of disrepair fill this large, undecorated chamber. Seated at many of the tables are groups intent on serious card games.

Features:


[Hearthstone, Courtyard]

Before you stands a grand old manor, framed by huge willows to the east and west. The elegant trees sway gently in the moonlight, dappling the cobblestone courtyard with ever-shifting patterns of light and dark. Snippets of conversation drift away from the long porch stretching along the full width of the great old house, as several guests enjoy the hospitality and ambience of this fine hideaway.

Obvious paths: south

Sanctuary? No

Features:


[Hearthstone, Front Porch]

Airy and open, the porch is enclosed by smooth, freshly painted white modwir up to a height of about four feet. As you ponder the sky-blue color of the ceiling and a lacework of deep green ivy that crisscrosses the open space between posts, the hubbub of the world beyond quickly fades away. Rocking chairs of various sizes are an inviting sight, and an elegant green marble arch provides a tantalizing view of the splendors inside the old manor. You also see a wheeled brass serving cart with some stuff on it, the porch steps, a doorman and a long oak sideboard with some stuff on it.

Sanctuary? No

Features:


[Courtyard]

A well maintained and healthy garden occupies the entirety of the courtyard. The air here is cool and crisp, but the bulk of the monastery shelters you from wind and makes the air bracing instead of chilling. In the center of the garden is a natural spring bubbling up several inches above the surface of the encircling pool of crystal clear water. A large stone and iron gate blocks the entrance to the monastery flanked by a statue of a woman carrying a crystal staff and a set of crystalline keys facing a second statue of a kneeling young man bedecked in battle-worn black chain armor. You also see a polished marble bench and a large fel tree.

[Graveyard, Crypt]

The entry foyer to this enormous granite crypt is stark, adorned only with grisly friezes sculpted in low relief into the walls. Bands of bluish-green ahnver are inlaid into the stone in thin strips just below the ceiling throughout the entire structure, bathing the rooms in a subtle light. A shadowy arch curves overhead and leads deeper into the inner sanctum of the sepulcher. You also see a cracked urn.

Obvious exits: out

Sanctuary? No

Services: Healing, resurrection, lockpicking

Features:


ICEMULE TRACE

[Icemule Trace, Town Center]

The bustling town comes together in this square. Halflings dressed in varying fashions stand about, some chattering happily, others reclining on cloaks laid on the ground. One ancient halfling leans against the base of the large ice statue of a mule, snoring blissfully. A feeling of community pervades the area, putting you immediately at ease. You also see a blanket of snow and a carved ice bench.

[Tavern Burrow, Ale Street] - No Sanctuary, Locksmithing

Stucco seems the preferred building material of the Tavern Burrow residents. The street has been newly cobbled, and the rough edges cause several people to nearly trip as they hurry along. A stucco well attracts a group of children, who drop stones into it, then hoot with glee at the muffled splash. You also see a blanket of snow and an old beer barrel.

Obvious paths: north, south, northwest

Sanctuary? No

Services: Locksmithing

Features:


SOLHAVEN

[Solhaven, North Market]

The crush of the crowd is almost overwhelming here in the center of the market. Peddlers wheeling small carts push their way through, shouting loudly. Nearby, a group of dwarves argue heatedly with a local merchant. You also see a wooden bench with some stuff on it, the Muffinsmith's stall with a large hand-written sign on it, the Small Blades stand, the Belts booth, an old barrel and a squalid canvas pavilion.

[Vornavis, Broken Tower]

Inside the tower, the floor is still sturdy and strong. The walls have cracked and crumbled, but still stand nearly two stories high in some places. To the west, a large doorway leads outward to a cobblestone road. The width of the ring of remains indicates that the tower was once very tall, possibly a watchtower capable of viewing the countryside for miles around. You also see a breach in the ruined tower wall, a large granite block and a dark crevice.

TA'ILLISTIM

[Ta'Illistim, BriarStone Court]

This corner of the court is dominated by a round marble fountain.

[Ta'Illistim, BriarStone Court]

A mordant odor descends from the smoking chimney of a sturdy little building on the east side of the court.

[Seethe Naedal, Beneath the Pine]

KHARAM DZU

[Dragonspine and Krodera]

Sanctuary? No

[Ghorsa Isle, Under The Bridge]

It is cool and dark under the bridge, and the rushing river drowns out the sounds of the city above. Something twitches in the darkness, where the bare earth meets the stone. Off to one side, a small group of grimy, shabbily-dressed dwarves sits in a circle, mumbling quietly at one another.

Obvious paths: up

Sanctuary? No

Features:


[Ghorsa Isle, Tower]

The view from the tower is spectacular. The city is spread out before you, huddled in a valley beneath the great mountain Stormbrow.

[Lunatic Asylum]

A single, flickering lantern provides a gloomy light that dances off the rusty iron cell-doors lining the dark stone walls. The air is warm, and uncomfortably moist in this cramped chamber. A fetid stink of rotting garbage, unwashed bodies and worse assaults you like a slap in the face. Rustlings, babblings, gibberings, groans and the occasional hysterical scream come from inside the darkened cells. You also see a dusty sign, a large wheel and a trapdoor.

RIVER'S REST

[River's Rest, Town Commons]

Fresh green grass, green as the greenest emerald, is soft underfoot and a pleasing foreground for a weathered wooden bench resting in the shade of a graceful willow tree. Chirping crickets fill the air and mingle with the voices of folk who stroll through the commons, and on occasion stop to exchange a tale or two with friends they meet along their way. A dusty path to the south and a riverstone walkway to the north are joined by a tall evergreen hedge which borders the edges of the lawn. You also see a large wooden barrel.

ZUL LOGOTH

[Zul Logoth, Crystalline Cavern]

A huge monument dominates the center of this donut-shaped confluence of avenues. Several dwarven warriors, rendered in gleaming white marble, battle a dozen orcs, depicted in black obsidian. Several stone benches rest around the monument, facing outward in a circular pattern, while other benches sit on the outer edges of the circle, facing the monument.
