[The Crossing, Town Green Northeast]
The cool, welcome expanse of the Town Green is a pleasant place to gather and exchange news, gossip and adventuring pointers with all the folk and races of Elanthia who are drawn to town. A soft, spongy carpet of well-manicured grass underfoot affords a comfortable cushion for sitting or sprawling out to enjoy a rare moment of rest in the warm sun. An ancient oak tree provides shelter for those so inclined. You also see a rotting deobar trunk, a plain oaken trunk, a plain deobar strongbox, some yelith pulp, a nemoih root, a cleaned troll skin with a few fleas on it, a cleaned troll skin with a few fleas on it, a cleaned troll skin with a few fleas on it, a crossbow bolt, a small cobblestone walkway, a trodden dirt path, a stone water trough, and some carved wooden benches.
