Interlude: Three Views from the High Road Inn
North, Towards Civilization

The river in the first valley is called The Vixen. It winds back and forth between these hills, eventually flowing past the city of Featherstone. Several small villages can be found on the river and among the hills between here and there.

South, Towards the Elfin Wild

The left peak, partially obscured by clouds is known as Haydur's Horn (and several more vulgar variants). The near peak just right of center is called The Cutlass. Out of view to the right can be seen the twin peaks that frame Ferrill's Pass.

West, Towards the Featherstone Scarp

Colloquially known as Grim's Collar. This line of cliffs begins here and runs south for about ten miles. Just out of the picture, to the left, the High Road winds up a difficult switchback somehow carved into the rock by an ancient civilization. Now partially blocked by rock slides, it is a difficult ascent for a wagon train. It's worth it, though, for the top of the ridge is quite flat and it carries a caravan right to the foot of Ferrill's Pass.
