Shattered Kingdoms

A circle of stones
 rvv/---/f  Not far from the city of Teron, this small clearing is home
 rv/yyyyff to the renowned portal stones, of which several scatter the
  #--*yyyF realms.  Brave souls have been known to utilize the arcane power
 #rryyyyFf that is bound to the stones, travelling to far lands in the blink
 |yprrrrrf of an eye.  A path leads west through the fields, directly to the
city gate.  It's mostly clear, mild, and very, very windy.

The access road

 vrv/yyyyf here and there by thistles and heather.  Occasionally one can spy
 # #-*?yyy a bird's nest hidden in the fields or a gopher hole.   You are
 y#rryyyyF walking along a tiny worn trail.  It's mostly clear, mild, and
 p|yprrrrr very, very windy.
