The '''Pinefar Trading Post''' is located in the frozen north of western [[Elanith]]. It contains most of the service shops which a town would have, located within a single large building. It is adjacent to the northeastern portions of the wilds surrounding [[Icemule Trace]], and adventurers often travel between the two to trade services in [[Icemule Trace]] as Pinefar itself is a relatively small settlement. Adventurers continuing on to [[The Rift]] are also frequent visitors. Transportation spells or items used anywhere to the north of (but not in) [[Nightmare Gorge]] will bring you here. You will not be able to communicate with adventurer's in [[Icemule Trace]] unless you climb the rocks on the other side of [[Nightmare Gorge]], which can make rescues of dead bodies sometimes difficult.

The Pinefar Trading Post is located in the frozen north of western Elanith. It contains most of the service shops which a town would have, located within a single large building. It is adjacent to the northeastern portions of the wilds surrounding Icemule Trace, and adventurers often travel between the two to trade services in Icemule Trace as Pinefar itself is a relatively small settlement. Adventurers continuing on to The Rift are also frequent visitors. Transportation spells or items used anywhere to the north of (but not in) Nightmare Gorge will bring you here. You will not be able to communicate with adventurers in Icemule Trace unless you climb the rocks on the other side of Nightmare Gorge, which can make rescues of dead bodies sometimes difficult.

Staying Warm

A large fireplace, with a basket of wooden sticks, exists in the main foyer of trading post. If an adventurer is feeling a bit chilly from the winds located on Aenatumgana and elsewhere, they can pick up a stick, and RUB MY STICK to either start or fuel the fire. A stick, specifically, is needed to start a fire - in various caves and such an adventurer may, however, get several pieces of firewood from a pile before they finally find a stick. Either will do to fuel the fire.

Example (fueling a fire):

>get pile firewood
You just grabbed yourself a piece of firewood.
>rub firewood
You toss the piece of firewood onto the fire and watch the flames rise higher as they feed on the fuel.
