and bent beyond recognition.  Great portions of foliage and woodland growth
have penetrated the walls, allowing for the woods to begin growing, drowning
what was once a civilization of giants.  Based on the blood and crimson
stains that are set in these stones, you are quite sure these streets are
aptly named.

You flicker and blur into the shape of a golden eagle.
You maintain your speed as you shapeshift.
You maintain your levitation as you shapeshift.
You maintain your phase as you shapeshift.
You maintain your phase as you shapeshift.
You are filled with the spirit of the thunderhawk.
Your bones creak and snap under the strain of your trauma as you shapeshift.
Your head clears, and you feel able to wake yourself.
Your shapeshifting scratches you.

You flap your wings and soar up above.
Far Above the Ruins of Ostalagiah
  The air rushing under your wings is cold and crisp.  You slow
the flapping of your wings and glide for a moment, to marvel 
once again at the view.  No matter how many times you see it, 
the view from above the clouds still invokes a childlike 
reverence in you.  It is as if the clouds themselves form a 
whole new tier of land high above Thera, of rolling white 
hills with a few dark thunderheads scattered among them.
Approaching a break in the clouds, you look down at the world
below you.  The Shadow Peaks in the west give way here to an 
expanse of forest.  Situated near the edge of the mountains 
and the forest is an old city, long ago ruined by forces 
unapparent from here.  Although it seems deserted from this 
altitude, something yet draws your gaze to the city's streets.

A Turn Through the Stone Rubble
  You come upon a turn in the rubble here.  Most of the rock has fallen onto
this path, making it difficult and even treacherous to travel about here.
All around you lay the stone blocks that were ripped from the city walls,
most of them strewn about in different directions or simply piled atop one
another, to make a path here.  Obviously, someone has made a home of these
ruins, else this path would not be made.  Dark shadows dance across the white
stone.  Torn banners and crusted blood remains stained upon the rock face, a
reminder of what ravages this ancient city had been through.  You can leave 
toward the gates to the east or continue through this rubble to the north
or south.
