You hear noise coming from the cave. Do you dare explore?

You make note to make their acquaintance a little later - once you have oriented yourself. Most assuredly there is plunder to gain in these parts as these soon to be friends demonstrate. ||  || It is hard to say precisely how long this valley may be, for you see trees along the far side of the clearing. Gaps in those trees well could be more paths to... Well, who knows what further adventures may await there? ||

Over to the Festival_Stands... || ||  || Or, are you ready to get away on some Forest Paths? ||
 * Would you take in an event on the Festival Stage?
