[QUOTE="doghead, post: 6235399, member: 8243"] [B]Day Four, Herr Borne's path, in the Netherworld[/B] [CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]60050._xfImport[/ATTACH][/CENTER] The Netherworld. If you asked someone to draw a picture of the Netherworld, this is what most people would draw - a flat lifeless landscape under a flat featureless sky. Of course, the landscapes of the Netherworld can be as varied as the landscapes of the Reaches. But this is as good as any visual shorthand for the Netherworld. It is a good representation of the landscape usually found between the Great Portals, and they are the most commonly travelled routes. It is nothing much like what lies on the other side of Herr Borne's portal. The party find themselves standing at the entrance to a shallow wide valley. All around are low rocky hills. The ground is rough and broken, mostly rock and hard dirt strewn with loose rocks and boulders. Through the clutter of rocks and stones winds the path, a narrow tenuous animal track that meanders up the centre of the valley. The sky overhead is pale grey, but dark with thick black clouds that seem to crowd the ground below. The air is completely still. With the exception of the small noises made by the party, the place is silent. Small clusters of small scrubby bushes dot the sides of the valley on either side of the path. The nearest is some 100 yards from where the party stands. There is no sign of anything living. There is no sign of the other portal. But that is not unusual. Rarely can one be portal be seen from the other, even if the time taken to travel between them is but a few minutes. Distance, and time, work differently in the Netherworld. [sblock=Knowledge Netherworld DC15]Rocky hills are not unheard of in the Netherworld, nor, of late, are clouds in the sky.[/sblock] [sblock=Knowledge Netherworld DC20]Clouds are a relatively new phenomena in the Netherworld.
