Knight's Quest 
You are in a forested, hilly area.  Among the woods you see a waft of smoke.  As you walk toward it, you almost trip over a large steel pipe.  I say almost, because it's actually pretty difficult to trip over something that's eighteen feet in diameter. 

Up on the hill, among the trees, is a large manorial estate.  A gnome is sitting on the front porch, reading a book, Harry Potter and the Principles of Real Estate Foreclosure.  He's humming to himself, and making a big show out of pretending you're not there. 

You head west, toward the visitor center again. 

You head southwest, into a forest vale. 

You head south, toward a lake. 

You head southeast, toward green rolling hills. 

You head east, toward a realm of mysterious monoliths.
