Editing The Glade

There are 4 Glades linked to [[Walorin]]'s House and thus to [[Ygdrassil]]: Winter, Spring, Summer & Autumn


== Summer ==

- 'Summer' has maple and elder surrounding it and a fast flowing brook, as well as ancient oak nearby.
- Linked 'home' of the Gem of Natural Wonder

''The dappled light of the early summer sun broke through the bright-green young leaves of the maple and elder, surrounding the glade, and sparkled in reflection off the surface of the fast flowing brook which tumbled over and around lichen-covered rock.  Fawn’s eyes were drawn to the rock-strewn, grassy bank where an elf sat, singing gently whilst watching the bubbles swirl and dance in the brook. His music at first competed with and then complimented the sound of the water as it broke, eddied and whirled in its hectic course downstream. As if washing the land, the detritus from autumns past and the freshly deceased issue of the recent spring was carried swiftly away. His song was angelic – pure, innocent and carefree. He sang in a tongue long forgotten, only recognised by the ancient oak and the young rock freshly turned in the rapid water. His garments reflected his surroundings: rabbit fur, deer skin and flax linen. Ageless, his features betrayed naught but concentration in his effort to recall and form the words of his song. Cross legged he sat on the river bank...''  - From Fawn's Vision BW XXXII

== Autumn ==

- 'Autumn' - ????


== Winter ==

- 'Winter' is on a slope rising from East to West. It has willow herb, dandelions, & primrose 'in abundance' in the relevant Season. A burbling brook flows across. Black oaks are abundant in 'this part' of the Efforendil. There should be a 10' drop into a clear pool that is 15' diam. This glade was trashed by Orcus and is the first one visited by the 'new' party.

== Spring ==

- 'Spring' - ???


== Other info ==

The Gem of Natural Wonder was hidden in the Summer Glade by an elf who did not dare take it with him to an outer plane

- One has an entrance 'near' the River Cloof; Another has a small shrine and is also 'near a river' (possibly the Cloof so may be the same), and it is here that a Sohei finds and removes a shard but not, I don't think, the Gem of Natural Wonder that we are interested in.

The waterfall is suggestive of Spring, when water levels are traditionally highest, but that is by no means conclusive!

The reference to Spring flowers in the Winter glade is quite confusing!

The Winter Glade is to the north of the Spring Glade

Do they follow a compass:?

- North = Winter  (no sun)

- East = Spring (RISING sun)

- South = Summer (maximum sun)

- West = Autumn (SETTING sun)
