On the left you will see the Market Hall of Delthuntle, we usually host ic and ooc events here.
Right in front of you is the entrance to the forest and on the right you will see the Raised Island of the Thayan Red Wizards.
The small boat on the other side of the docks can be used to sail around the sim.

We will go up the stairs to Delthuntle.

==========

Delthuntle:
Delthuntle is s small coastal city, populated by traders, survivors and valiant people. During the spell plague, they got isolated from the rest of Aglarond and have been severed from main politics since then. Hard to reach due the traitorous sea, the ever growing Yuirwood and the spreading plague lands, they have crafted their own future, turning into a strategic port for commerce and more questionable activities.

Here you will find the most evil of the Realm. The Thayan Red Wizards, the drow, orcs and all others with evil intent.
Thay is one of the most prominent powers in the Realms. The Red Wizards handled the country with several leaders until the spellplague happened and they got forced to serve under a powerful unique ruler. The arcanists have been attacking Aglarond for a long time, interested in the Yuirwood, the magical resources and the exotic reagents available, for don't mention the slaves, the need to keep their state alive.
Right now, the wizards are in constant battle against the Yuirwood to control the magical nodes on the island and have some minor skirmishes with pirates  and Delthuntle for resources, slaves or lands. They are open to bargain with shadow fey, spread lycanthropy and set dark pacts to earn their goals. The question now is there is anyone able to interfere with such plans.

==========

Yùirwood:
Once a powerful elf kingdom, connected with the mystical fabric of creation, the Yuirwoood is now a mass of ruins and magical vegetation, spreading everywhere on Aglarond, almost aggressively. While most elves left the place centuries ago; druid circles, idealists and wild green elves are still decided to live in the dangerous wilderness, trying to recover their lost legacy. In the island, the forests were slowly devoured by the growing city and settlements, but something stirred and awakened years ago and now, the tide has changed. The vegetation spreads, people is disappearing into the darkness and some elves have left the streets and joined the old ways.
Forest Folk are diverse. The joyful pixies, causing constant problems on the village mix with the seductive nymphs more frequent on the river than ever, or the lustful satyrs. Some of them doesn't care on anything but joy and music, while others hide between the thorns, lurking in shadows, part of dark courts or angered after centuries watching how the forest were consumed and their families were forced to flee.
But Yuirwood, with all its diversity and dangers, with all its shadows and lights, is after all, a spectacle for senses and a beauty beyond imagination, captivating everyone coming in. The old stones are again alive, the trees are speaking and spirits from times before, awake everywhere. The Yuirwood is carrying dreams and warnings, shattering the reality tapestry, making everything that was true, uncertain but... is this a menace or a warning?

Follow the route on the map:
1. Ritual Stone Circle
2. Camp Fire
3. Forest Tavern
4. Yuirwood Castle
5. Main Living Room (walk up the stairs)

of the Palace?
9. Beach

Now try to find your back to where you left the Forest route 'B' . We will not go back through the forest, but walk along the shore line.
WAIT! whats that on the other side of the water???

An Island!

But how to get there? Lets go find a boat!

Follow the Shore line till you find a boat.
Perhaps you noticed the area behind the rocks... but thats a 'secret' area... Just grab the boat and explore the small island and the waters :)
