Out far-away now. The Putrid Mire, the unpassable bog-swamp, homeland to mutant insects, tree-frog tribes, dark-sawmp elves,
all manner of strange dark slimy life, water-drakes ~
unusual ferns, and swampflowers -
What is it that passes down here?
watch out, 'this place is booby-trapped'...
watch your step, you might fall, the mosses &
swampbracken is deceptive,
its often watery, swamp-mud...
what is this place?
is this the mushroom-forest?
are we in the paganworld?
is this the lost folorn forest?
they say, the wilderness
is unpassable down there,
we don't know for sure what lurks beyond
these lands...


So... Joyua explored, from her strange rememberence of theirself as a wood elf, ~ she remembered what she had inherited, this forest, this land~ also this peace. Jolena's home, her home not far off - up in the trees, above the higher branches, twisting ferns up ~ Joleena's guardian of the Faydark. - guide of the lost elves:- living her making her home amonst the ivies and water snakes. Zhe was not just a woodelf, jollena was a dryad, ancient tree-spirit of the middle-late forest~~formchanger~~shapechanger at will. she made her home a mirror. a mystery, and plundered the depths....a mermaid or a serpent??? a paradox or a statement? who was she? time might tell us... who you are? time might show you... maybe you are many things, in many times...may you find the answer you seek in your heart.

the Root-tangle dephts, the mushroom valley,the mystical wetlands. Aha! this is the place!
This is the place they were talking of.... the Folorn world of Ultanea & XoUm....
the general foliage masks a stone staircase, leading towards the otherland, the land on the slope, hill-valley,rootswarm the folorn world, quite another place,
just further away, and yet all the time, inescapable.
Would you like to travel up the staircase to the Folorn valley?

The WoodsDevil is here,
this is Constantine, the trickster of the woods,
not because the woodstrickster is
dangerous, nessecarily, but
because they have their own
autonomy.
This is the strange creature who
made all the lights in the woods,
they scurry about, seemingly
unaware of your presence,
these shrines might have
been tended by this creature.

the Uppercity is many hours walk upwards from here, but you'd have to travel through the rootwater depths and shallows, the overgrown orchards and through the fens and then the underdark or the overgrown crypts until you'd reach the bottom of the palace-city; - Eltnen fortress does form a rich-deep-vast network of arcanely connected
city-spires, so you can travel within the Eltnen and reach places in the Gl00mTown,
but this is a last refuge connection before descent into the lesser realms, lower realms of wilderness .The fallen world itself is still deeper, on the lower planetary shelf Here there be beasts..
The Eltnen protects itself with a magic-arcane-bubble shield
the world down there is wild & cold & wet and windy, a stormy fog covers the land yet still...

This Area of the Marsh sites in a Cool Night
~frogs can be heard chirping
*mosquitos Buzz*
Gloom drifts over the Marsh.
such a strange place,
mushrooms grow and sprout and water cascades;
It is Not Far from the Castle
o dark mossy rocks.
Guide a slippery path,
A Swamp-Pond !
