LOG: Track - Fade of many talents! Track Joined: Nov 29, 2000 From: Boise, Idaho Posted: 2003-09-17 23:23 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dark Ferns Nestled between the trunks of trees, standing in large colonies or alone, dark green ferns are the dominant life form in this part of the forest. The trees are all large pines, foliage so far above the ground, if not for the needle litter, one could not identify the type of tree. The occasional delicate violet hides between the ferns where the ground is not too obscured nor the sun too bright. [ obvious exits: N E S ] There are some tracks of a ridden mount leaving east.

Smaller trees have already sucumbed to the ivy, providing platform for the sunlight the ivy craves. The one living tree races to the sun in a futile race against the ivy. Long dead trees threaten to topple to the forest floor below under the burden of the heavy plants. [ obvious exits: N E S W ] There are some tracks of a ridden mount leaving west.
