Please note this script is being redone so that the starting areas are all in the same room.
Solhaven, Landing, Teras, and Pinefar are finished. All other towns will need to use the old format when starting the
script. This being .travel <shop or hunt>. In these towns hunting area slections starts at the
main gather area, town to town generally start at the main gate, and shops start at the bank.
Yeah, confusing, that is why I am changing it.
Landing is partially complete (no hunting areas yet).
No scripts for River's Rest yet.
Icemule may be buggy with the changes made to the town. I am working on it.
I think all the Town to Town scrips work. Let me know if there are problems especially with EN.
I haven't been to the EN in a long time so I am not sure what changes have been made there.
Email me with questions.

[Pinefar Trading Post, Greatroom]
Shining wood floors and a beamed ceiling distinguish the spacious room. An impressive rock fireplace dominates the back wall, flanked by a wide staircase leading to an upper floor. Before the hearth sits a tawny leather sofa with a variety of armchairs sitting in attendance around it. Rugs scattered across the plank floor add tones of coral, blue and red to the warm ambience. All along the walls, paintings compete with windows offering views of the snow-bound countryside. You also see the halfling Belle, a large pine cupboard, a pair of wide double doors, a pine barrel, a staircase and a basket of sticks.

[Pinefar Trading Post, Porch]
The porch is floored with wide, wooden planks, swept clean of snow and painted a wishful shade of green. All down the length of it, rocking chairs sit in a row, silent in the winter hush. This far north, the snow is a constant presence, transforming the row of pristine, green and white rockers into a wonderful winter folly. Generous, albeit short, double doors lead into the building. You also see a flight of stone steps and a wooden barrel.

A front porch wraps around the entire facade of the building, and a number of stone chimneys stand guard on the roof, each spouting an aromatic plume of smoke.

The trail winds through the pines, the banks of snow covering it marked here and there by animal tracks. Among the black branches of the conifers to either side is the occasional dark bulk of a squirrel nest.

The expanse of towering pines cloaked in clumps of snow is broken by the stark silhouette of a large, wrought-iron gate straddling the trail. It is unattached to a fence of any kind. Across the arched top are the words 'Pinefar Trading Post', crowned by a 'P' enclosed within a circle. Although no buildings can be seen through the gusting snow, a smudge of smoke can be glimpsed curling above the trees. You also see a narrow snow-covered path leading west into the pines and a brightly painted wooden gate decorated with garlands of spring flowers.

An immense arch of ice battles to remain standing against the ravages of the wind. Through the makeshift gateway, the open expanses of the frozen tundra provide little protection from the chilling temperatures. The treacherous slopes of Mount Aenatumgana tower above the flats, the peak of the gigantic mountain invisible through the blowing sleet and snow.

Small steps hacked out of the side of the mountain lead down, providing meager protection from the howling gales on the slopes. High above, cornices hang dangerously low, shuddering with each renewed gust of wind. Packed ice and snow make assaults on the peak slow at best, fatal at worst. Blocks of ice the size of buildings lie in heaps at the bottom of the western slope, a testament to the power of the titanic avalanches that ravage the mountain.

Whirling snow is tinted an incongruous rose color by the low arctic light. Then, a lull in the wind offers a breathtaking vision! Mantled by the storm's flurry, a monument perches on the mountain's top, immense in size and of extraordinary beauty.

Fashioned of solid gold, the bas-relief crown is a magnificent piece of craftsmanship. Its ring is decorated with the images of winged drakes that have been rendered in exquisite detail. Precise etching breathe life into them, adding the texture of scales and subtle lines of tensed muscles. Between each of the the dragons, words have been engraved into the diadem's glittering surface. Starting at the top and continuing clockwise, they read: Honor, Truth, Piety, Humility, Faith, and Courage. Aligned with each of these words, a row of golden spikes extends from the edge of the crown.
