the apprentice priest~
An apprentice priest is here practicing his healing skills.
~
This is a student of Tahkien, all knowing yet a man who still has much to
learn about life and death.  His healing powers are great, and so too,
probably, are his powers of destruction.  It is a wise thing to keep on the
good side of one of Tahkien's priests, both experienced and not.

Center Chambers~
The walls of this chamber are lined with gold, and it is a truely
spectacular sight.  A huge statue of the mighty god Tahkien dominates
the room, and something about the aura here makes you feel happy and
safe.  The ground is soft and padded, ideal for regeneration.  Indeed,
it was here that Tahkien's followers lived when he was in his deathbed,
as it was he that their lives were for.  The comfortable conditions
here is unmatched in even the best Inns spread about the countryside.

permiates from somewhere you can't see.  This glow is part of the caring
light of Tahkien and his followers, but somehow it isn't magical.

You are in the forest outside of the Shrine of Tahkien, and the smell of
burned, rotted wood under your feet fills your nostrils.  This was once a
place of many battles, after Tahkien died they ceased.  Now the people who
follow Tahkien keep the place up, but centuries of repairs have still done
nothing.  Looking down, you see a pillar in one of the many ditches in the
forest.  To the east and north the forest path continues, and to the west

rebuilt most of it, but as the years pass, only small bits of progress are
made.  To the east and south the forest continues, and to the west what

from infinite dimensions.  It is truely a spectacular moment, especially

are the most powerfull in the shrine.  Although not a large structure, it
serves its purpose as protector of the believers and a place to worship
Tahkien.  This particular section is no different, you can feel the love of
Tahkien emanating upon you as you wander.  Perhaps true peace is yet to be in
your soul.

yields to the edge of the forest, which hasn't expanded much in this section
for the centuries that it has had a chance.  To the west you see the center

Forest Path~
You are standing just to the east of the half-ruined shrine of Tahkien, one
of the most important centers of worship for the great god above.  During
the great wars when his children were trying to reclaim Midgaard, this was
one of the places they attacked with all their might.  The temple withstood
however, but not without heavy casualties.  Over the years, it has been
rebuilt slightly, but much progress is yet to be made, and the task would be
virtually impossible, due to the ammount that the forest has grown back
already.  Still, if there is a will there is a way.  To the west you can
enter the shrine and to the north and east you will continue through the
forest.
