A river flows through the forest. At the high point, an old wood and rope bridge is cut and disconnected. Further down, a fallen tree provides a make shift bridge.

A pond in the forest that radiates with magic energy. There is a platform with a statue in the center. Coins and plants have been left as an offering at the base of the statue.

An overview of a village on both sides of a river bank, with a stone bridge connecting them.  There are large fields of crops growing on the north and east sides.

A winding mine. Cart tracks follow several tunnels and break off into multiple directions. Large chucks are glowing moonstone stick out of the walls. There are several tents with firepits set up just outside the mine entrance.

A brightly colored wagon has made camp on the side of a forest road at night. Supplies are out, a fire is going, and a tent is sent up.  Two horses eat beside the wagon.

There is a pumpkin patch. North is a scarecrow. The trees have yellow and orange leaves. Southeast there are apple trees, ready for picking.

A forest map with three levels of elevation. On the bottom, a river is flowing into a lake, with an old tree as a makeshift bridge. A latter against the rock face allows for climbing on to the second level. Its a mostly open clearing with an old statue carved into the north rock face. A second latter leads to the third level. It has a small clearing, and many small colorful bushes below the trees.

A large river of molten lava. There is a chain bridge with wood planks that allow passage. On both sides, the ground is cracking and the glow of lava is seen just below the surface. There are broken ruins from an old building destroyed long ago.

A road cuts through a dream like, foggy forest. There is a short clearing with colorful plants and some dangerous spiked vines. The ground glows in several places.

A boat is on the beach of an island. Past the sand is a jungle environment with a sandy road. Two caves are visible, one off the beach and one in the forest.

A long winding road through the woods. The trees boarder the edge of the road, allowing several good places for an ambush.

A country cottage built in the wild deep of the forest.  The home of a druid? an alchemist? Perhaps a kind old witch?  The cottage is build in a massive hollowed out tree.  Its one large room with a table in the center. There are herb growing, potions brewing, and cauldrons bubbling. A goat eats from a food trough, and a raven watches the door.

The old forest road runs past a small waterfall. The water falls from the multi-tier high ground. The trees are thick with make a small clearing as the road needs a pool at the bottom of the falls. The ground shifts down below the pool and the river carries on.
