Hello all,

Below is the third riddle of the competition. This one is themed more towards the act of journeying rather than general knowledge.

Please check previous posts for the earlier riddles #1 and #2. Answers are still accepted. For prizes, please see the original post for details.

For Riddle 3, you will note that there are labels with numbers from 1 to 5. These labels refer to the locations to visit.

We note that people may have different titles or references for these locations, and so the answers are flexible in terms of logic.


Riddle 3:
---------

Begin where stands New that once was old. (1)
Follow the path south as you are told.
Then, through Summer, you must continue on,
Past mushrooms and shifting trees will you come upon.
Continue past a Great monolith, but with pace increased, (2)
Least they summon and release the beast.
Swivel eastward past rushing waters,
To a tranquil region but beware of marauders. (3)
Avoid any charity, or they may rob,
Such a tricky and heinous mob.
Continue your journey far to the east,
From the great body of water, turn southeast.
Go past the home of once eternal prison, (4)
Hope long lost that was arisen.
Walk along until you find the sign, (5)
Journey within to discover what is shrined.


What are the 5 locations visited or seen on this journey?
