Bunch of superstitious nonsense if you ask me. The shifters claim its a method for diving the future for the coming year, to see where the game is, when the big storms are coming, what the best time to go collecting fruit and honey is, things like that. They make this crude, man-shaped thing out of a silly bundle of sticks, kind of like a scarecrow and nail it to a tree. Then they light a bonfire in front of it, gather round, and chant for several hours. They claim it comes alive, imbued with the spirit of the king of the forest, or some such, and..."The gnome stops speaking, his gaze fixed on the last written page of the diary. "Hmm... that's odd. It says some old man told the Dauntonians to stick close to the river bank. But, everyone on the mainland knows that stretch of the Python's Tail that flows through the foothills of Turtlespine Mountain is crocodile country. I wonder who gave them such misguided advice?""Well that depends on which ruins you're looking for. Here, come take a look at this <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=44407&stc=1&d=1277393313" target="_blank">map</a>."Fizzenden leads you over to the table that bears the large, unrolled map of the island, and, as he mutters a few arcane words, the flat paper image suddenly seems to warp, bend, and infuse with color, taking on an illusory reseblence to a miniaturized version of the entire island, complete with running rivers, tall mountains, and a dark shadow that bisects the northern half of the island."See, I'd bet my spectacles that this is where you and the Dauntonians ran afoul of the crocodiles. It's just above the first falls at the base of the foothills. Here, and here are the human camps you've visited, and Snarl's people live over here, just east of Moonshadow Lake. Of course Eladrin ruins are scattered all over the edge of the Shadowrift," he says, pointing to the large, dark cloud. "But there are only five major Eladrin sites I know of that remain somewhat intact. They are: Ellansir, Liranth, Dinaeth, Shaelun, and the catacombs at Baerdun," Fizzenden explains pointing to each site in turn. You can just barely make out the points of towers reaching above the trees at each site he points to on the illusory, living map."Not knowing which ruins you are seeking, I'm afraid I won't be able to guide you to the source of the trouble," he says to Cyr apologetically.</blockquote>
