[Hearthstone, Front Porch] (397002)
Airy and open, the porch is enclosed by smooth, freshly painted white modwir up to a height of about four feet. As you ponder the sky-blue color of the ceiling and a lacework of deep green ivy that crisscrosses the open space between posts, the hubbub of the world beyond quickly fades away. Rocking chairs of various sizes are an inviting sight, and an elegant green marble arch provides a tantalizing view of the splendors inside the old manor. You also see a majestic snow white wolf, a great white wolf, the enruned Xanthalas disk, the Sirona disk, a yellow-eyed forest wolfhound, the porch steps, a purple modwir bin, a scorched oak sideboard with some stuff on it and a doorman.
Also here: Tyteus, High Lord Dayko, Xanthalas, Sirona, Willow Guardian Lehon, Janarth, Augustinia, Sister-in-Arms Roelaren, Lady Macky

This is the heart of the main square of Wehnimer's Landing. The impromptu shops of the bazaar are clustered around this central gathering place, where townsfolk, travellers, and adventurers meet to talk, conspire or raise expeditions to the far-flung reaches of Elanith. At the north end, an old well, with moss-covered stones and a craggy roof, is shaded from the moonlight by a strong, robust tree. The oak is tall and straight, and it is apparent that the roots run deep. You also see a dark-haired half-elven priestess, the Griktore disk, a frumpy vermilion chemise, the Taelarn disk, a large acorn, a golden breakfast tart, a trail of crimson-tipped ebon roses leading southwest, a trail of aster-wreathed silver hedgehogs leading southwest, a round silver-banded barrel, an herbal remedy donation bin and some wide stone benches with some stuff on it.
Also here: the body of Lord Dumfraus who is lying down, the body of Arclite who is lying down, Tristwane, Liversta, High Lord Thornbein, Lord Asoniar, the body of Dexon who is lying down, Lord Griktore, Lord Morandas who is kneeling, Azaton, Grimsoldier, Taelarn, Minniemae who is lying down, the body of Kothe who is lying down, Alustria, Ashtelaan, Geminischild

Airy and open, the porch is enclosed by smooth, freshly painted white modwir up to a height of about four feet.

Rocking chairs of various sizes are an inviting sight, and an elegant green marble arch provides a tantalizing view of the splendors inside the old manor.
