Polished to a brilliant sheen his ebon head is almost like a mirror, the two garrish diamond studs he wears seem to add to the shimmering look this dark-elf seems to be going for.He walks with the grace of a predator, one used to stalking it prey for long periods of time and one not in any particular rush to commit to anything unless it suits him. There are tell tale marks of trauma all over this dark-elf's body, healed scars that look as if once upon a time his entire body was disabused for extended periods of time. Mgizu, a male dark-elf, is gushing blood.

The large barricade appears poorly constructed, comprised of large sharpened tree trunks cast together with thick rope. Upon the gate, a large cattle skull decorated with feathers and a torn crimson war banner rests, serving as the standard for a brutal tribe of warriors behind these decaying gates. You can see an eerie haze of fog rising from behind the structure, along with the harsh sounds of village life. Carved along the face of a timber which serves as part of this construct are small words written in an odd language. The tall wooden palisade stretches further to the north and south while the trodden path continues eastward through the gates. [Exits: north east south west] (WANTED) Mgizu is here. A rock and moss-colored ogre slumps here, murmuring. An orcish guard leans lazily against the gates.
