If you're in the center of Leth, every direction but south right now has anywhere from 1-3 tents/caravans/wagons but they are all closed right now.

North:

>l
[Leth Deriel, Oakenheart Circle]
A meandering path off the main road leads to a tiny shack, so covered in vines and dried leaves that it is almost invisible in the half-murk of the woodland interior that is the essence of Leth Deriel. A sweet, elusive scent drifts over from it that tantalizes, inflames and soothes the senses all at once. You also see a pale silk tent and a rainbow silk tent.
Obvious paths: north, southeast, south, southwest.

Northwest:

>nw
[Leth Deriel, Oakenheart Circle]
On the northeast verge of the central clearing, in the shadow of Sana'ati Dyaus, stands a figure shod in rags and cloaked in a tattered green blanket. She huddles over an iron brazier, stirring chestnuts in a pan. The crowd around the tree, which also serves as the town hall, barely notices her cries as she hawks her wares. Nor do they heed those of the infant swaddled in dirty skins that she bends down to comfort every now and again. You also see a raven, a billowing silvery silk tent with a glimmering silver sign on it, and a sign mounted on the street vendor's cart.
Obvious paths: northeast, southeast, south, northwest.

Northeast:

Bergamot and citrus trees, lovingly cultivated in several small copses, ring the intersection here. Their limbs are laden with fruit and bedecked with strips of ethereal gauze, serving as votive offerings to the woodland deities. Oakenheart Circle merges to the northeast into Aldiyaus Square, site of Leth Deriel's main shrine. Looming large and stentorian to the southwest is Sana'ati Dyaus, most sacred of trees. A broad clearing encircles the mammoth trunk. You also see a pool of grey shadows, an elegant slate-blue Elothean tent pitched under overhanging tree branches, and a mahogany caravan adorned with jewel-toned silk.
Obvious paths: northeast, south, southwest, northwest.

Southwest:

A circle of interlocking wooden logs, about waist high, stands off to one side. Over it, broad leafed Zulnatha trees form a sheltering roof. Beads of dew roll off the leaves and into the center of the log circle with a muffled plop. You realize that the structure is some kind of well or reservoir. You also see a polished elm caravan.
Obvious paths: north, northeast, southeast, southwest.

Southeast:

[Leth Deriel, Oakenheart Circle]
You arrive at a busy intersection where Oakenheart Circle merges with Merewala Court to the southeast, and flows into the central clearing to the northwest. At this pivotal junction sits a mean-looking shanty, in and out of which trudge seedy adventurers who appear down on their luck, as well as richly dressed traders. For a single establishment to cater to such an odd mix of clientele strikes you as odd. You also see a large golden tent with a crimson pennant flying atop and a battered and faded sign in front of the shanty.
Obvious paths: north, southeast, southwest, northwest.

West:

The astringent scent of Sufil trees suffuses the air, and you breathe the soothing vapors deeply. Directly under the shade of a huge, overhanging Sana'ati branch that reaches out over its central clearing to this corner, is a small tent of painted bark cloth. Stretched out upon cots and hammocks, with typical reserve, are the ill and wounded, waiting to be tended by the legendary Elven empath within. You also see a dusky rose tent.
Obvious paths: north, east, south, west.

East:

>e
[Leth Deriel, Oakenheart Circle]
The view to the west consists of the clearing surrounding the ancient tree that forms the hub of Leth Deriel, and the tree itself, the fabled Sana'ati Dyaus. Its trunk blocks out anything else you might have been able to see in that direction. Merchants, traders, and other outsiders bent on commerce pass by, some headed to the bank just east, others headed to the trading post, shops and offices clustered in the area. You also see a dark maple caravan, a wooden makeshift wagon, and a wooden door.
Obvious paths: north, east, south, west.
