It takes some dedicated effort, but you finally manage to swing the heavy door open with a screech and a deafening clang. Blinking, you step into the sun. You stand at the top of a cliff above the sea, its expanse lost into the horizon to the east. The salty sea air tinges your nose and the booming of the surf resonates in your headular appendage.
A dirt path winds away into a forest to the north, there is a signpost near the path with a wooden sign marked "Lionhe", underneath is scrawled "Beware the dark forest". A grassy path winds it way along the clifftop and down to the beach in the east, and there is an expanse of sun-drenched meadow to the west. The stone building is behind you, to the south, and you are surprised to look up and notice that it is topped with a tall lighthouse. You hear some faint music, but you cannot tell where it is coming from.
Which direction do you want to head in:
The lush green treeline is inviting.
The singing of seabirds and the crashing waves call to you.
The serene sun-drenched expanse looks so soothing.
