[Upper Dragonsclaw, Slopes]
The grass is paler green here, as though the altitude and dearth of sunlight have stunted its growth. Coarse mosses and lichens hug the ground and form powdery, white crusts upon the rocks scattered about. The steepness of the slope makes you breathe heavily under the exertion of negotiating it, and you see your breath condense in vapor clouds in the crisp air.
Obvious paths: north, south.

[Upper Dragonsclaw, Slopes]
The two paths around the towering boulder directly to the north allow you to skirt it, but the boulder itself looks fairly easy to scale. From its top, you might be able to get your bearings and stay out of harm's way for a bit. You also see a hobgoblin, a rapier, some light leather, a rapier, a simple maoral chest, a rotting tree stump and a long dark space under the boulder.
Also here: Murp, Htchati
Obvious paths: south, northeast, northwest.

[Upper Dragonsclaw, Boulder]
The crest of the towering boulder affords a good view of the surrounding countryside. To the north, you see the dense forests of the Lower Dragonsclaw. Looking northeast, the verdant grasslands sprawl down towards the coast. Gazing southward at the slopes, in the distance you see the snow-covered summits of the Dragonsclaw mountain range, shrouded in perpetual mist. You also see a white owl, the Damex disk, an acid-pitted mithril coffer and the Lidius disk.
Also here: Xurian, High Lord Avator, Nimax who is lying down, Omrii who is lying down, Talroth, Zebius, Solice who is lying down, Jokaero, Narckin who is lying down, Damex who is lying down, Seragyn, Lord Tarhen, Lord Jamus who is lying down, Darnell, Cefric who is lying down, Lidius, Perigourd who is lying down, Tijay who is lying down
