<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/b1/Every1sAHero.png)</div><br/><br/><br/><strong>Outside of Amberdale:</strong><br/><br/>Ringing Amberdale are a number of farms.  Some common crops are wheat, assorted vegetable, grapes (closer to the Forelorn Hills) and gourdes (closer to Shadow Vale).  Typical livestock is cows, goats, sheep, chickens and fish from the local ponds and streams.  Just outside of Amberdale is the Temple of Casta.  Casta is the Goddess of Healing and Pleasure.  The temple was built over a group of hot springs that act as healing baths and places of relaxation for the weary.  It is popular with adventurers as the healing rituals of the priests and priestesses of Casta involve massage, acupuncture and the tantric arts.<br/><br/>Farmland gives way to lightly forested areas yet untouched by loggers.  Hermit shacks, hunters lodges, bandit camps, the occasional wizard tower, wild animals, kobolds, goblins and other creatures can be found in this area.  This central area is surrounded by the wilds.  Only the main roads and game trails are found this far out.  The local mine is located in the Forelorn Hiils and the sparse forest lands thicken into the Oldwall Forest.  As one approaches Shadow Vale the haunted nature of that place begins to show itself.  The trees are a strange grouping of birch and willow. The trees weave a tight canopy making for a perpetual twilight at the best of times.  It is said the dead are restless their and other dark critters sometimes ooze their way into Amberdale.<br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><em><span class="bbc_u">Places of Interest</span></em><br/><br/> </div><br/>Headers<br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatleft][img height=200]&lt; URL for your avatar image, if desired &gt;[/img][/floatleft]<br/>[b]Name :[/b]<br/>[b]Race and Occupation :[/b]<br/>[b]Location &amp; Time :[/b]<br/>[b]Tagging :[/b]<br/></code></pre><br/><br/><hr/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/2/23/Around_the_City.jpg)<br/><hr/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/63/OldWall1.jpg)<br/><hr/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/46/Forelorn_hills.jpg)<br/><hr/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/c/c1/ShadowVale.jpg)<br/>
