Following along the road, the street begins to slope downward, and on your left you see an area where the Deepwood has broken through to swallow the homes and buildings. Strangely, the incursion has not reached very far into the city beyond the initial breach. In any other city, such an intrusion would have seen the city completely overgrown by the tainted roots in a matter of months. However, here it has barely spread beyond the first few rows of homes. Something seems to be halting its advance.

Continuing on, you spot an enormous tree rising above the fog in the distance, straight ahead and to its right you can see the Spire, much closer now than ever before.
