Probably the forest is playing tricks on their mindsSay the seemingly leader of the group.We spied humans and heard reports of other gnomes about cruel undead that try to prey on the living by seducing them into the woods ... crying for help for the intelligent ones is one way to do it. The woods are hauntedReply another gnomeThe leader nods in agreement and saysYou better stay out of them, and if you need to pass them you better circle the entire forest or travel below it.Admiring the view and scenery, you drink your teas.An hour later, one ofg the guards returns with some fresh apples and berries. The “tea-serving” gnome takes the berries and squeezes them. Taking their juice, he “orders” the magical pot to produce cold water ... then he hands you a fresh berry-water mixed juice.This outpost seems to be small ah ?The “serving tea” gnome chuckles to himselfThere is a large community of gnomes around here ... just not where you expect them to be.[sblock=Lenuran knowledge]Loren’s ford is a large village of gnomes ... underground village. It should lie below the area you currently are. This gigantic tree is part of the village, but one of several “above-ground” places. There is an extensive network of mined tunnels and roads below the surface of the Kron hills. From the capital of Kron that lays in the east through Tulvar, Osnalbrote and finally Loren’s ford. (These are the four gnome settlement, with Kron being the largest city and the capital, and Loren’s ford is the smallest and mark the western part of the gnome kingdom)The land of Kron belongs to a large community of rock gnomes. Thought the majority of the denizens of Loren’s ford is forest gnomes. There is a big community of rock gnomes that live among the dwarves of the Lortmills, originally, they were part of the rock gnomes from the Kron – Leurans is part of them.[/sblock]Questioning about the area and questions about the gnomes’ jobs reveals the following:They are here to guard and observe anything that might be suspicious, but peace and prosperity came upon the land, so not much of a job to the rangers save for small goblin parties and once a month an evil denizen of the forest decide to scourge the area out of his home in the woods. This place serves like a tower and a refugee place for the pure hearted that wander the land.As for the area – Nurell ruins lies not far from here, but they are probably home to wild animals and things that better left in the darkness of the temple’s dungeon.From here, the stream widens to a roaring rocky river with waterfalls. There is an old route that heads west with a rope bridge that crosses the river, but it leads into the woods and to the abandoned hamlet of Valida. Another route goes underground and springs out to the air again 15-20 miles to the west.</blockquote>
