(Exits: south)
Hours of careful study and exploration could not possibly allow you to fully
discover all that can be revealed in this wonderful place. This chamber is
considerable, yet somehow intimate and cozy; made of thick wooden timbers,
each as stout as a dwarf, it is crafted in the style of a druid's cottage.
Herbs and plants of nearly every variety hang in fragrant bundles from the
rafters above, and one entire wall is covered from floor to ceiling in maps,
charts, and careful notes of the Realm. A fireplace of gray river stones
adds warmth and comfort to this sanctuary, and upon the hearth an ample
iron cauldron of fragrant stew bubbles gently. It is plain that care has
been taken to craft an environment of welcome and learning, a place of
family and instruction, a true home for FoLK of all kinds. 

'''Holy Symbol: a travelworn leather journal with quill pen''' 
Long desc: This travelworn journal and quill have recorded many secrets and wonders. 

'''look north''': 
Tall, thick-paned windows allow natural light to flood into the cottage, yet
their sturdy construction would not permit a single draft or loss of warmth.
Each has a different shape and height, and they somehow seem to move on their
own accord, each capturing the light of moon or sun perfectly, following its
travel through the heavens. Each window appears to reveal a different part of
the varied and wonderful Realm. 

'''look east:''' 
Neat rows of benches line wide tables along this side of the chamber. Easily
dozens could work, eat, or rest here in one of the comfortable chairs that are
scattered in and among the tables. Gentle illumination is provided by softly
glowing balls of light, candelabra, and smokeless oil lamps, their colored
glass chimneys bringing a lovely glow to the area. A neat pile of blank
parchments, quill pens and bottles of ink wait on one end table, and a small
gnome glances your way as he tidies the study, humming as he works. 

'''look south:''' 
The passageway out of this special place is an arched door painted to resemble
a beautiful elfweave drape, luxurious to the curious touch and pleasing to the
eye. The handle has a heart-shape, much like the lockets made in Loth-Llorien.
To either side of the portal, plain but well-made sconces of some pale metal
bear candles that cast a clear, steady light but no smoke. 
The door is open. 

'''look west:''' 
The enormous beams of this massive cottage still bear bark upon their surface.
It appears that several different types of trees were used in the construction,
from ancient pines to maples to Cillidellian aspen. Here and there, a bug can
be seen creeping along. Suddenly a bird flies out of what appeared to be a
whorl in the wood, but is actually a hole in the trunk of what must somehow be
a living - not harvested - tree! How this building could have been formed from
actual growing trees is quite beyond any comprehension, but the gods do have
their magics... At the center of the wall, a blackboard has been hung, upon
which is written an important message. 

'''Look Down:''' 
The floor underfoot is as changeable as the southern seasons. Here and
there, it appears to be lush, soft summer grass, nearly ankle height
and dotted with wildflowers of every hue imaginable. A short distance
away, the thick pile and geometric design of a hand-crafted Hovelton
carpet covers a polished hardwood floor. To the left, flagstones gleam,
carefully swept by the gnome caretaker. Up ahead, symbols have been
drawn into the hard packed earth. 

'''Look Up:''' 
The flutter of wings catches the eye, as above, dozens of birds flit
amongst the beams of the cottage. Nests can be seen, the grasses of
their making plucked from all over the world. Only one cobweb is
visible, tucked in the easternmost corner. A small, shiny black spider
rests at its heart, strangely left alone by the hungry birds.. 

'''Look Blackboard message writing:''' 
To my FoLK and curious others: 
Some of you will wonder how I define and shape the actions of those
who would be one of us, in such a changing world. This is what I
believe our alignment to be: Those who are Neutral Good believe
that laws can either protect or oppress, and should be written in
such a way that they protect the weak without taking away any more
freedom than necessary. Oppressive laws should be challenged within
the legal system when possible, and through protest or even revolution
in extreme cases. 
(look message2 to continue) 

'''Look Message2''' 
To continue: In my eyes, a Neutral Good will... 
- Always keeps his or her sworn word or promise 
- Is VERY unlikely to lie, except perhaps to an evil person 
- Never attack or kill the helpless (Linkdead, sleeping, etc.) 
- Never harm an innocent 
- Never tortures for any reason 
- Never kill for pleasure or passion, only out of duty 
- Always tries to help others 
- Works well in groups 
- Never knowingly take corpse-tainted money or items 
- Never betray a friend

'''Look Message3''' 
What are our Goals: 
The Seekers of the Fellowship of Lore & Knowledge (FoLK) pursue 
personal and group growth through adventuring; through exploring 
and mapping; through helping newbies, allies, and each other, and 
even through rebirth. 
How to Join Us: 
Entry Quests are based upon the ability and level of the applicant. 
Possible tasks might include finding specific places, learning of 
indicated events or persons, etc. 

'''Look window1:''' 
This oval window of deep blue glass appears to look into a chapel carved
lovingly from stone. The walls are inlaid with obsidian and sparkle
darkly in the faint light from the luminescent moss on the high ceiling.
The front of the chapel is covered with shrines to various new and old
gods. An arched opening leads out into the cavern hallway to the east.
A sense of peace pervades the chapel, and you can almost make out the
still figure of a woman praying. 

'''Look window2:''' 
This tall cathedral window looks out over a seething pool and is misted with
spray from a massive waterfall that comes roaring down hundreds of feet to
culminate in a majestic spray on the rocks just above the pool. The river,
ice cold and swiftly flowing, runs down a narrow channel to the north. In the
spray, you can almost make out the figure of a couple holding hands while
sitting upon the rocks by the pool. 

'''Look window3:''' 
This wide bay window is barred with elegant wrought iron, and seemingly
gazes into ruins. A peculiar darkness fills the area, and a thick
crawling vine has nearly overtaken the temple and is slowly pulling down
the walls. Branches of neighboring trees scrape against the ancient
stones. Despite the desolation, there is an unusual peace here,
something which wells from the distant past. You can just barely make
out the laughter of mortals who once stood here in another time. A
bittersweet regret fills you for what this place must have once been,
and almost in sad verbalization of your thought, you hear the soft
yowl of an unseen, prowling cat. 

'''Look window4:''' 
This narrow window is tucked into the wall within a small nook,
providing a perfect place to perch and gaze outside. The window stands
partially open, allowing the clean, pure scent of the grassy fields
beyond to flow into the temple. All the cares of the world seem to slip
away, as if you have been transported to that distant plain. All that
surrounds you is the azure sky above, and the flowing grass, like a sea
of green. The scent reminds you vividly of your happiest memories. This
is what life is all about... 

'''Look window5:''' 
This round stained glass window is shrouded by a heavy curtain of black
velvet. Daringly, you peep beyond, to see a massive bedchamber, lost to
the mists of time, a joyous couple entwined in the dance of passion upon
their wedding night. 

'''Look window6:''' 
A moonlit garden is revealed by this odd, spider-web shaped window, the
scene split into sections by the silvery partitions between the panes. A
Lady stands breathlessly still, as a dark and shadowy form flows between
She and one of her beloved folk. A woman, wracked with grief, chooses
the abyss... the shadows close around her... and a cascade of crimson
liquid conceals whatever else this window might have revealed. 

'''Look Locket heart-shape''' 
The door handle is formed like one of the famous heart shaped lockets
sold in the elven city. Examining it closer, initials are visible:
