I was wandering around Cysaegir and I saw a couple places I would love to see our citizenry get a chance to flesh out.

[Cysaegir, Brook]
A quaint bungalow rests quietly alongside a bubbling brook teeming with an assortment of fish and other aquatic life, creating a picture perfect scene. Fiddlehead ferns surround the brook on all sides, and the light of the sun brightly illuminates clusters of glossy-leafed holly trees. You also see a white pebble pathway following a bubbling brook.

This seems like a lovely fishing spot, but all you can do is wave your fishing pole around, or pretend to fish.


[Cysaegir, Vista Knoll]
Cresting the top of the hill provides an ideal vantage point of the snow-capped mountains that tower in the distance and the town common spreading out below. The glowing ball of the sun peeks out from the perpetual mists that surround two of the largest mountaintops. Off to the side, a small clearing is host to some ancient ruins and abandoned buildings. You also see the Archales disk and a meandering trail.
Obvious paths: southeast, west, northwest
Your misty grey scorpion followed.
>look ruins
Once a woodsy retreat from the city growing north of here, all that remains of what was called Glimae'den are these ancient ruins. Toppled stones and bits of timbered facade lay about in small piles, the various flora attempting to reclaim them.

This has always been one of my favorite spots in town, and I think it might be neat for the ruins to have some small bit of lore tied to them, maybe using the sense command to allow bards to sense its lore in the area and maybe loresing at it, like the statue in the center of the temple nelemar? maybe a town contest to design the best loresing?


Similarly, I think this would be a great location to add some lore as I'd love to know more about the items in the displays and where they came from and were carried here from the aelotian home world. Also for purely selfish reasons I would love it if the ladder in here actually could slide, and/or was climbable, and if you really wanted to make my day an shut me up, add a comfy chair or sofa for readers to relax upon while they enjoy the library. Maybe have a readable book about the aelotians or zydris trees, or both or more than one book! all of those choices would please me.


[Naerine Hostelry, Library]
Tall mahogany shelves house numerous texts and tomes, the highest of which can only be accessed by a sliding ladder. Situated around the library are several glass display cases, housing a few tokens of remembrance from the Aelotoi homeworld. Cozy, ruby-hued armchairs and lacquered reading tables have been arranged near the windows along the far wall, looking out over the inn's indoor garden. You also see a pair of white glass-inlaid doors.
Obvious exits: none

You see several glass display cases. Looking at the cases, you see a rusty pick display, a broken doll display and a dark beaded necklace display.
>look at display
Within the confines of a glass display case lies a rusty pick. The slender haft is splintered in several places, with a jagged crack running its length. Rusted almost to the point of uselessness, the pick has obviously seen better days.

>look at display
Within the confines of a glass display case lies a broken doll. The left arm is missing from this ragged doll crafted from scraps of burlap. Its right button eye dangles from a thread, while a mess of straw serves as hair.

>look at display
Within the confines of a glass display case lies a dark beaded necklace. The beads appear to have been crafted from some unknown gemstone that sparkles with flecks of crimson and silver. Though the beads are in good condition, the string holding the necklace together is visibly dirty and frayed.

Also secret passageway would be perfect in here or the indoor garden... just saying.


Just my random stream of consciousness,
Archales

[Cysaegir, Cave]
Stalagmites create natural pillars in this cyclopean chamber that leads toward a lopsided wooden door. A milky iridescent substance coats the walls and floors, giving off a bluish color that seems to glow as it illuminates this section of the cave.
Obvious exits: up, down

Look door

Even if the badly warped and splintered door were replaced, the crooked frame would still cause it to be lopsided. A shiny new lock and chain keeps intruders from exploring what lies behind the ruined door.

I am dying to know what's behind the door.
