1 = "You enter Mernia, a once-busy port town. Fresh lumber was brought here, loaded onto ships, and hauled off to wood-starved parts of the Empire. Alas, golem attacks have all but shut the place down.";
2 = "Whoever owned this shop has abandoned it. Leaving this area does seem like the wiser choice. A sour, medicinal smell hangs in the air. Squatters have been here.";
3 = "Massive piles of lumber have been stacked here, waiting to be loaded onto ships heading north. Everything is covered with sawdust. Since no ships are allowed to go from Valorim to the rest of the Empire, the lumber is just sitting here.";
4 = "You hear the shouts of guards and the sound of swords being drawn. The town must be under attack. You look around to see where the attack is coming from, but nobody is coming through the gates.";
5 = "Then you realize everyone is heading towards the water. You look east and see golems walking out of the sea! The faceless, mindless constructs approached the city from under the water.";
6 = "You reach the town of Greendale, a logging community at the west edge of the dense Monoroe Forest. This town has been hit hard by the golems. Most of the buildings are burned out, and Empire soldiers are the only people in sight.";
7 = "You reach the town of Greendale, a logging community at the west edge of the dense Monoroe Forest. Unfortunately, it has been abandoned by both citizens and soldiers. The golem attacks must have been too much for it.";
8 = "You quickly row away from the destroyed island. It provided a useful and grim reminder that it doesn't take something exotic like a golem or a slime to lay waste to the countryside.";
9 = "You set foot, for the first time, on Maddok Isle. It's a cold, ruined place, and it's clearly been this way since long before the monster plagues began. Some horrible force afflicted this island. Its residents, unable to deal with the problem, fled. ";
10 = "This was once a relatively large town. Then hordes of undead took the place apart, brick by brick and board by board. There are lots of bones scattered about. Not all of the people who lived here were lucky enough to escape.";
11 = "This is yet another ruined city, destroyed years ago and increasingly overgrown. Someone erected a tall, black, basalt wall in the middle of the town. It looks like it was magically summoned and grew up from underground, smashing the buildings above it as it rose.";
12 = "You enter a grim basalt temple, dripping with foul ichor and the residue of dark rituals and foul evilness. The dead walk evilly towards you, hoping to pull you down into their eternal torment. In other words, just an ordinary day.";
13 = "One of the scrolls on the pedestal is still intact! For some reason, none of the undead have touched it. It has a gold ankh embossed in the cover. You pick it up and look at it.";
14 = " It is a prayer book, lovingly and intricately illuminated. Fortunately, you understand the language! Most of the healing rituals are simple and uninteresting, but one is powerful in the extreme. You can now cast Resurrect.";
15 = "It is a prayer book, lovingly and intricately illuminated. Unfortunately, the language is not one you understand. You look at the pictures. Most of them depict various sorts of healing. After a moment, you feel oddly compelled to replace the book.";
16 = "You reach the fortified village of Tevrono. This well-defended town is a model of efficiency, especially compared with the wreck that is the rest of Valorim. Neatly uniformed guards and dervishes are on patrol, keeping a careful watch for golems.";
17 = "You notice the city walls have metal sheets mounted at the top, leaning in over this town. They are heavily pitted and scarred. They must be there to block the fireballs the golems have been lobbing over the walls. Body parts taken from slain golems adorn the walls.";
18 = "You have a very good rest. This is surprising, considering the constant yells and fireball detonations you hear from outside.";

24 = "Body parts from destroyed golems have been thrown here. Some of the components look like they might be worth money.";

26 = "There is great excitement in Tevrono when you approach. You lifted the siege on the town, and your arrival is big news. Guards step aside, clearing the path for you to enter.";
