A Signpost in the Enchanted Forests

f f-@-f-S| behind a tree before disappearing with a titter. An
| | | | || old but sturdy signpost stands beside a crossing in
f-f f-f *| the paths, which lead in every direction.

A Fae Crossing
f o-o x| The path has taken you to a junction over which hangs
| | || the twisted branches of two Blackthorn trees and an
o-f o-f-x| Elderwood tree. You remember folktales which tell that
| | | | spiteful faeries lurk under the meetings of such trees
f-f @-f-f| to waylay and confound woodland travellers. Feeling a
| | | | || little uncomfortable, you look south, where the forest
f-f-f f-f| seems to darken menacingly. The east trail beckons you
| | | || to the safety of the Emerald Forest.
