Introductions/Welcome

The Sanctuary of Fate
[Exits: north up]
The breathtaking loveliness of a midnight shadowed garden embraces you. The
night sky is filled with stars... no, not stars, but strands of light which
shimmer at the edges of sight. The soft call of unseen birds provides sweet
melody to please the ear and the low hoot of an owl echoes out of the trees.
A thick tangle of web-shrouded briar roses marks the boundaries of the area
and every conceivable variety of flower blooms within, despite the darkness.
Here and there, care has been taken to create gathering places in the glade,
from an intimate nook of soft, thick moss beneath a veiling willow tree, to
a low, gentle dell where a large group could rest in comfort. Each cardinal
point is marked by its own unique archway. Ebon flames beckon within a trio
of them, and the fourth is sealed by an enormous spiderweb. At the heart of
the clearing is a large round seal of orichalcum.
A small weaving loom is barely visible amidst the trees.

Big ogre. Real big. With a pair of yellowed tusks any boar would
be proud to sport. He grins at you, revealing a series of massive
teeth, chipped and stained from a life of eating things few people
would consider edible. And possibly from eating a few people that
most things would not consider edible, either. His dark pea-green
skin has the texture - and odor - of a bubbling swamp, and a black
top-knot sprouts from his head like an unkempt horse's tail. "Now
me can sing for you!" he bellows. "Me sing good!"
