A soft white light illuminates this area including the landscape of ocean floor beneath. Sea flora and fauna swim and dart about this immensely relaxing aquatic environment.

Sanctum Sanctorum

This largish space appears to be some sort of meditation chamber. The walls are decorated with expensive tapestries, and the room abounds with priceless objets d'art. The floor is cluttered with comfortable pillows and cushions. The owner obviously has a taste for the finer things in life. You notice a large, colorful painting on the south wall. It appears to be done in very lifelike colors. An oval obsidian portal is set in the east wall.

Dark Path

As you tread down this path, you notice animal sounds less and less. You begin to feel the weight of the trees around you press down hard. You feel almost as if you were being watched from beyond the trees. To the south the path breaks into the open, to the north, it leads further into darkness.

Dark Path

The path appears less travelled than that found south of here. To the north, it appears even less so. To the east, you see that the bushes have been crushed, and movement in that direction is possible. To the west, you see another, smaller opening in the underbrush.

In the Underbrush

As you crawl through the dense bushes, you come to a small opening. This appears to be some sort of animal's home. You note the broken branches and scraps of flesh and shudder to think at what might occupy this den. You feel very uneasy about this place.

A Dark Clearing

This clearing appears to have been used recently as a campsite. This is obvious by the burnt cinders of wood lying in the dirt and the footprints leading off into the brush. You wonder who they were and where they went.

Dark Path

The path here seems more uneven and you have to watch where you step. Far to the north, you see a huge looming structure, and a gate before it. To the south, the path lightens a bit. You get a distinct feeling of dread from the north. The southern path looks much more friendly.

Approaching Cemetery

The path you are on continues north and south from here. To the south, you see the path trail off in the distance. To the north, it appears to lead to and end at a large gate. Beyond the gate you can make out a structure of some sort.

Inside Cemetery Gate

You stand on a dark path. To the south, is a rusted gate and a long path beyond it. To the northeast you can see a large graveyard. You can hear strange sounds emanating from there. To the north, you see a huge stone mausoleum. It looks very foreboding.

Overgrown Clearing

This large clearing has been overgrown by weeds and large vines so that even the ground is completely obscured by vegetation. This area appears to have been used for ceremonies of some sort, but fallen into disuse. To the east a path leading to a large mausoleum. To the west, you see a forgotten burial site.

Unmarked Grave

You stand before a small, unmarked grave site. It appears whoever was was best left forgotten. The coffin sits in the open grave, uncovered by soil, yet hidden from the rays of the sun by the overhanging branches. To the east is a large clearing.

Among the Tombstones

You have entered a large graveyard. The tombstones stretch out before you to the east and north. To the west is a fairly discernible path. Before you is a large, unused open grave. It appears to have been dug long ago, and never put to use.

Southeast Corner of Graveyard

You have reached a corner of the cemetery. It is bounded on the west and south by a large stone and wrought iron wall. Progress to the north is impossible due to several fallen trees. The rest of the graveyard lies to the west.

An Open Grave

You stand in an open grave. To your surprise, a passage leads off to the north, into the darkness. Apparently whoever was supposed to be buried here needed a way out!

A Dark Tunnel

You stand in a small, rough-hewn passage under the cemetery. To the south, it leads to a large, open grave. To the north, the passage continues off into the darkness. You hear the sound of running water in the distance.

A Small Cavern

The passage under the graveyard turns here. It heads off to the east and south. To the east, you can distinctly hear the sounds of splashing water. To the south, the tunnel seems to get lighter.

A Dark Pool

The tunnel from the west ends abruptly here, at a small underwater pool. There is no apparent source here, but you can hear the sound of running water off in the distance. You can see nothing in the water except an occasional flash as a blind cave-fish swims close to the surface.

A Water-Filled Cavern

Empty

Path to Mausoleum

You stand midway between a large, rusty gate to the south and an ancient mausoleum looming to the north. To the east and south-east a large cemetery fills your view. To the far north-east, you can make out some sort of a standing monument or statue.

Among the Tombstones

You stand among several hundred ancient grave sites. They stretch out to the south from here. Directly north, you can see a large monument of some sort. To the west, is a paved path. Movement to the east is blocked by several large fallen trees. You hear rustling sounds from beyond one of the headstones. You think you see something moving there.

Empty

Outside Mausoleum

You stand at the end of a well used path. Before you, to the north, is a large stone structure. At its entrance is a large iron door. To the east you can see a statue or monument of some sort. To the west the path continues, apparently around this building.

Crumbling Obelisk

You stand before a tall, obsidian obelisk. It appears to be quite old and is showing quite a lot of wear. To the south, the path leads to a graveyard. To the north, the path passes along the side of the mausoleum, and to the west it approaches its front.

Next to Mausoleum

The path here passes along the east wall of the mausoleum. From what you can observe, this is a rather large structure. The path leads north into a marshy area and south back along the east wall, towards the front of the building.

Marshy Path

You stand at a sort of crossroads. The path you are on leads off to the west around the back of the mausoleum and to the south, along its east wall. A path also leads north from here, off into the swamp. You hear strange noises coming from there that lead you to believe that something is watching you.

Behind Mausoleum

You are on a path around the back of the mausoleum. The path seems less worn by wear here. You do however see some markings on the ground that would indicate that something has been here recently. You are not sure, however that that something was human.

Path Behind Mausoleum

The trail here heads south along the west wall of the mausoleum, and east around the rear of the structure. Progress north and west is obstructed by a huge stand of trees that seem to inch closer each time you look away.

Along Mausoleum Wall

The path runs along the west wall of the mausoleum. To the south, you can see it turn towards the front of the structure. To the north, you see the trees to your west seem to cover the trail.

Path Around Mausoleum

The path continues here and goes east and north. To the east, you can see the entrance to this structure. To the north, the path continues along its west wall. The path is bounded to the west by a large stand of strangely evil looking trees. You get the feeling you are being watched.

In the Marsh

You stand on what appears to be a path through the swamp. It heads north and south from here. To the east, a small side path drops off into the swamp. To the north-east, you see the shadow of a huge structure of some sort.

Swampy Path

The trail through the swamp seems to end here quite abruptly. Whoever made it appears to have changed their mind and headed home. You think that this might have been a good idea. The air is thick and heavy with the scent of decay and rotting flesh. It seems to get stronger to the east.

Deepening Bog

The side path off the main trail just drops off into the swamp. Progress is only possible to the north. You note a stench of decay from that there. A large tree appears to have fallen over, and is surrounded by feathers and shards of bone.

Fallen Tree

You stand at the base of a huge fallen tree. It looks as if some great force snapped the great trunk long ago. The base is surrounded by scraps of cloth, bits of rotted flesh and shards of bone. You feel uneasy as you glance up the length of the trunk.

Crumbling Nest

You ascend the trunk and climb into what appears to be a gigantic bird's nest of some sort. The rotting corpses and skeletons strewn around lead you to believe that the occupant is not a vegetarian.
