Sunless Citadel: Overland Map

Oakhurst and surrounds, overland map.
Descent into the Sunless Citadel...



The Old Road

A mile or so after leaving Oakhurst the terrain around the seldom used Old Road changes markedly from bucolic farmland to drier, more barren terrain.  The overgrown Old Road winds through rocky downs, through stands of mournful, withered trees and thorns and past burnt out and abandoned farm shacks.  The Old Road passes by the Withered Heath, an even more desolate blackened expanse.

The Ravine

The Old Road passes to the east of a narrow ravine.  At the road’s closest approach to the cleft, several broken pillars jut from the earth where the ravine widens and opens into something more akin to a deep, but narrow, canyon.  Two pillars stand straight, but most of them lean against the sloped earth.  Others are broken, and several have apparently fallen into the darkness-shrouded depths.  A few similar pillars are visable on the opposite side of the ravine.
