A Balcony(n and e)

As you climb onto this broad-based balcony, you are blown away as you see the forest spread out before you. Many different trees populate the region around you, but all are small compared to the one you are currently standing on. Off to the west and south, the true beauty of these mighty woods can be seen in its full splendor. Although the sight is peaceful, there are still many signs of war. Periodically an elf walks by, looking carefully out over the canopy, checking for anything out of place. A glint of metal can occasionally be seen among the trees, but the forest as a whole seems remarkably quiet.
The only obvious exits are north and east.
