Caprineki's Clan

If you're looking for the credit for my signature I drew it myself, if you're interested in something similar please message me :)

You find yourself on the northeastern coast of the Sunbeam ruins...
The coast rises to a point, when you look over you can see over densely forested area for miles. made up largely of pine and evergreen trees but not without large deciduous trees sprinkled throughout. At a distance they seem unremarkable, but when you begin to wander through you see they are massive and twisted. As you pass through sometimes you feel watched, or see the glint of eyes or even a face from a tree but when you turn to look it's merely a trick of the mind played on some of the more misshapen trunks of the trees. The ground is covered with patches of thick brambles and rocky outcroppings and whenever you tread carelessly they make sure you regret it. You pass through ravines and over hills when you follow the thinning light through the trees to what appears to be a path. The path is lined with softly glowing pebbles and among them coil small vines with red and pale yellow flowers on them. You follow it. After a short time the path becomes overgrown and you fear following it was a mistake. It's getting darker and anxiety buds in your chest. You hasten your step as the path begins to slope upward gradually. Just as the path becomes too deeply overgrown and you are ready to turn back the thick brush vanishes and you feel a tingling like a blustery breeze flow over you and warm you to the bone, though you were feeling a chill moments ago. Before you the path is neatly tended and hard packed, aged stone walls line along the edge of it, woven with more vines and flowers. several yards ahead layers of rock make a natural set of stairs up as the area ahead steeply plateaus. You climb the stairs to find there are fewer than it appeared from below and again you feel the warm breeze trickle over you, the stairs are worn but sturdy and impressive. Reaching the top you are surprised by a large flat clearing filled with the repurposed ruins of a dragon clan.
The setting sun casts light over the expanse and you see what looks like what had once been decorative gardens now repurposed as areas for growing actual crops. The gardens are interspersed with crumbling fountains and statues and you realize that all the vines of flowers come from this one central garden and from a small greenhouse of stacked rocks and clear sheets of glass. beyond them there are wide fields with other structures, possibly homes or silos or the like. Beyond that still the edge of the expanse gives way to what you assume is the drop of a cliff face and beyond that the ocean glittering in the setting sun. Copses of thick trees are scattered around the edges of the ruins and you see the occasional hatchling or small animal dashing from tree to tree. Along the right hugging the treeline is a fence made of stacked rocks and beyond it a row of what appear to be tombstones and a cave that dips underground. a short distance from there a hut made from young trees woven together as they aged. To the left along the treeline is a large structure made of destitute columns and logs built into a framework with the word INN carved into a panel in front of it. A short distance from it stands the most impressive and massive structure which nearly blots out the sunset. It appears to be made up of massive blocks of stone too massive even for even a team of dragons to move, and columns hewn together either by magic or fire. Beneath the main structure the ground dips and its foundation appears to be a singular shelf of stone with several cave entrances, a few of which are blocked off with doors or woven tapestries. The stairs leading up into the impressive keep are wide and curved up to the entrance of what you assume is some sort of castle or stronghold. Finally you finish taking in the sights of the place and are surprised to find a cluster of large stones a few feet in front of you with a large slab of polished blue sandstone that you had completely overlooked. The the words on it are inlaid with what appears to be silver. Talk about ritzy. Written in a large but simple script on the sign, just barely legible in the fading light, "Welcome to Capriscen"
