After the solitude of the night the rush of the wind on your face and the beat of Pallenten's hooves on the grassland brings a clear focus to your journey. This great horse will reach the foothills within the hour, leaving the remainder of the day to find the entrance to Stoneholme, and to prepare for your descent into its depths. Whether you can find the entrance to the fabled fortress easily remains to be seen, but you have a general idea where it might lay, and no matter where you meet the edge of the mountain you should be able to follow its base and find the fortress.
Very soon the open plains give way to scattered copses of trees and large areas of low brush. This in its turn makes way for the forest that surrounds the south-western edge of the Devkraager Tor. In this part of Kalborea the forest is an unusual mixture of large, impressively tall trees with vast overhanging canopies, and a dense vegetation that carpets the ground in between. Thick and tangled in complex webs of vine and low brush, you cannot make any headway through the trees, instead you must follow the many wagon and animal trails that cut through the undergrowth towards the west. One of these trails appears to have been recently travelled, and as it leads directly towards the mountain you decide to use it. The trail is wide and makes its way between the large trees of the forest. Although mostly straight it does take a number of bends and as you are rounding one of these you come upon an abandoned wagon.

Do you wish to have a closer look at the wagon? If you do turn to section 318. If you would rather leave it and continue on, turn to section 358.
