Leaving Verbobonc - Waterday 5/4/600 (day/month/year)
You gather in the next morning in the dining hall of the inn. After a lovely breakfast you pack and leave the free city of Verbobonc. The road to the Kron hills is the “Low road” and it begins in the South-way (Low) Gate. The ‘Low Road’ continues southwest from this gate. All traffic bound to/from the Iron Wood, or the Kingdom of Veluna travel through this gate. It is moderately traveled, since most visitors from Veluna travel from the river Velverdyva.
Lucky for you, you do not need to travel through the Iron wood, but traveling his south-east border is not something to be proud off either. Tales say that the woods are hunted and travelers avoid them during night time.
Village of Rhynehurst Starday 8/4/600
After two and half days along the “Low Road” you reach to the small village of Rhynehurst. It is a nice stop with a pleasant community of farmers and woodmen.
Gathering some information, you find out that to reach Hagthar, you need to take the dirt path to the south. The path leads to the Kron hills, along a local stream. The first part of the voyage is to Castle Estival – 5 hours by foot. It is the last check point of humans before the Kron hills. Afterwards the trail continues along the stream and lies on the east border of the towering yarpik and ipp trees of the Ironwood.
It will take you 1.5 days to reach Loren’s ford. It is a ranger’s tower post, up on the Kron hills and is guarded by Gnome rangers. From there the road splits. You need to take the chasm and underground of Nurell.
[sblock=Lenuran Knowledge]
The name comes from a past and now ruined temple that was 7 miles to the south, where the hills meets the forest.
It was dedicated to the god Urdlen. Urdlen is the gnome deity of greed and blood. It was destroyed by clerics of Garl Glittergold and the paladins of Gaerdal Ironhand (gnome deity of protection, vigilance, and combat). The name Nurell is the name of the high priest of Urdlen that was slew over there during the combat.

The underground passage is 15 miles approximately and emerges from a large cave to the road that leads back to Veluna and the town of Hagthar. The underground passage is not guarded, some say that the underground river is evil and it feeds the southern portions of the Ironwood, the roots of the trees are said to be so deep that they drink the river and feeds the evil of the woods ... or maybe it was the temple. Who knows...
ooc - if you want to buy food/survival equipment/ climbing equipment it is the place.
