[The Shore of Dreams]
Fel and pine trees crowd close to the shore of an almost perfectly clear pool. A low wall crafted from bright blue Liabo marble surrounds the tiny pond, encircling it in a loving embrace. The gleaming surface of the water is disturbed only by concentric rings drifting away from the waterfall lazily spilling down from an outcropping of rocks overhead. Though the shadows are deep here, an occasional beam of light pierces the darkness, illuminating the vivid colors surrounding you. You also see a brown frog who is sitting and a faint path.
Also here: Arderon, Journeyman Meek, Apprentice Grisella who is seated, Lord Caranorn who is kneeling
Obvious paths: none.

[The Shore of Dreams]
Fel and pine trees crowd close to the shore of an almost perfectly clear pool. A low wall crafted from bright blue Liabo marble surrounds the tiny pond, encircling it in a loving embrace. The gleaming surface of the water is disturbed only by concentric rings drifting away from the waterfall lazily spilling down from an outcropping of rocks overhead. Though the shadows are deep here, an occasional beam of light pierces the darkness, illuminating the vivid colors surrounding you. You also see a wreath of Mournblooms, a layered black spidersilk veil, a brown mouse who is sitting, the Rog disk, the Aurla disk, the Cynric disk and a faint path.

"There will be those to replace them,
But they can never be forgotten
For they walked these lands proudly
And let them walk away proudly
With happy and fond memories of them in our hearts"

And if they go for the final time
Let's always remember their names
And sing songs of glory
Of the great adventures we had with them
As we travel these lands."

"If your contribution has been vital
There will always be somebody to pick up where you left off
And that will be your claim to immortality."

And Until We Meet Again
May the gods Hold You In The Palm Of His Hand"

The gleaming surface of the water is disturbed only by concentric rings drifting away from the waterfall lazily spilling down from an outcropping of rocks overhead. Though the shadows are deep here, an occasional beam of light pierces the darkness, illuminating the vivid colors surrounding you.

For love that's growing yet"
