Unfortunately, Ojaveda has been severed from the road, and the road blocked from Hydlaa by the chasm and an invisible wall. The brave (or the foolish, which one am I?) may attempt a crossing of the chasm; it is possible, even easy, but you cannot get far. Even if you were to pass the invisible barrier, the road to Ojaveda is much more dangerous than it was. Sinkholes similar to the one we all know have opened up everywhere, creating steep cliffs. A great darkness has fallen about the land, so that it is difficult to discern where one is treading. The only good thing is that the few monsters, and the rogues, who managed to survive are plain to see, and are unlikely to sneak up upon an unwary adventurer in the dark. But alas, the road goes nowhere; the gateway through the spire is not to be found, and it is an exercise in futility attempting to find any trace of it. Alas, we will have to wait until the Powers That Be lift whatever evil magic has befallen the lands, and restore to us our pathway to Ojaveda.
