10/6/12 - Gilneas (The Blackwald)

The guild currently resides within the Ruins of Gilneas; a broken island with very little inhabitants. We arrived here by boat - of which was wrecked on a reef! - and were left stranded on the shore. Within Gilneas, the guild is currently in Tal'doren, the large unoccupied tree in North-Eastern Blackwald. It would be obvious to anyone looking for the Jades, as humanoid occupation would have had its impact on the area.

Decription:

Gilneas is under constant barrage from the wind and rain, with low temperatures and a harsh, moist climate, any residing within would need to wrap up warm and wear a hooded cloak to avoid damage to their health. Very few animals roam the area due to the Worgen Curse and most of the locals have picked up and left a long time ago.

The Borderlands Campaign had its impact on this area too and many of the buildings have been detroyed and are in a state of disrepair. The local resources are also in short supply after havign been pillaged to aid the war effort. Anyone roaming Gilneas city would see very few occupants indeed; rarely will one see a building that hasn't been hit hard by the conflict.

The only creatures that do seem to roam the wilds are the feral beasts that attack the Druids on sight. They are ravenous and are hard to tackle, to it is advised that they are avoided. Tal'doren itself is rather cosy and dry, but the Blackwald around moves with life and is difficult to see through. A mist envelopes the area and stops wanderers entering without a serous reason.

As the area is in such as state, it is vital that the Jades find a source of food and other resources or risk starvation.
