Lemur's Ring is located in a clearing, not far into the jungle off the Pathway To Adventure. Whenever hero training occurs and Nate is a volunteer trainer, Heroes are led from the castle courtyard to the Ring via a series of red rags tied to landmarks and trees.
The clearing is round, large enough for Heroes and Warriors to practice sparring in, but the real draw of Lemur's Ring is the climbing and obstacle training course which Nate has spent a few months of hard work on.
Stretching out through the surrounding trees for approximately 2-3 acresm, it has routes of varying degrees of difficulty. The platforms, rope bridges, climbing nets, and other structures were built from felled trees, boats wrecked beyond repair which were recovered from the Bayou and the site of the Jungle Cruise, cast-off pallets and crates from the Bazaar, and brand new, reinforced ropes and nets from the Emporium. Anyone from the tiniest princess to the burliest Hero type can find their way through the course, and Nate marks the obstacles by degree of difficulty with stripes of paint on the hand and footholds.
White: Total Novice
Yellow: Beginner
Orange: Intermediate
Red: Hard
Black: Ridiculously Hard, aka Nathan Drake Did This Just To Prove He Could
There is a small supply shed off to the side with extra ropes, climbing harnesses, and some gear commissioned from the blacksmith. The carabiners and pitons are the only things which require logging in and out, because he had to have them made specially for the course. Anything else is easily replaced, so if an apprentice accidentally walks home with a rope or something, no big deal. He checks the course every week to see if anything needs any of the 3 Rs: Reinforcement, Replacement, or Repair. It is FREE for all Apprentices to use, and therefore not a business, but he would not mind a volunteer to help keep the course in shape if anyone wants!
If you want a canon example of what Black level parkour looks like ... knock yourself out.
