Gulls and terns fly above the main dock to the west, their harsh cries mingling with the shouts of bosuns and captains ready to set sail.

Blue-grey dolphins frolic among sea-green waves as gentle merfolk herd schools of fish into nets of woven kelp.  To the east, the Staho Pivo'hrr'schu'Mus leads into the city proper.</description>

    <description>The narrow passage to the south opens out into a large echoing cavern, with icy walls soaring into darkness.  The soft brushing sound is that of falling particles of frozen mist -- it whispers as it touches the floor, the chunks of fallen rock, or your face.</description>

    <description>The leaf-covered slope is broken at one point by rocks where the soil has worn away.  A single slate beneath it is wet with the splash of spring water that spills from the rocky ground.  The patter of water counterpoints the shivering rowan and aspen trees that continue into the distant forest.</description>

Boards placed over trestles form a long table down the center of the room, and similar planks line the walls to form bunks for bedding.  A fire at one end of the hall burns brightly and warms a pot of stew.  At the opposite end, a huge rack of antlers hangs over the doorway.</description>

Black sand embraces the water's edge in sun baked warmth, its heat quenched in the cool caress of the ocean as it glides its foamy, green fingers softly over the shore.  Each wave thrusting lightly over the beach steals a precious cargo of sand, yet deposits its own seeds of marine life upon the warm, receptive land.</description>

  <node id="306" name="Denison's Pub, Back Hallway">
    <description>The narrow passage runs in a straight line along the back of the pub, a smaller hallway branching off in the middle.  A pair of small grimy windows high in the east wall allow the barest bit of light to illuminate the refuse-scattered way.  The back stair is littered with cast off clothing, broken plates, and spilled food and drink, contributing a memorable scent to the location.</description>

    <description>Thick red velvet curtains hang from a wooden beam, shrouding a makeshift bed of heaped cushions and furs in near darkness.  A burning wick floating in a bowl of lamp oil provides meager illumination from its perch on a low table opposite the bed.  Woven mats cover the floor and prove to be remarkably comfortable.</description>

    <description>Three thin windows covered in grease paper cast a dim glow over the room.  Variously sized tables and chairs crowd the close chamber, creating a veritable obstacle course.  A badly torn fishing net covers one whole wall, gathering dust even as it slowly rots away.  Herds of dust bunnies stampede across the bare wood floor when the door opens and stirs the thick air.</description>

    <description>A wide hearth occupies the south wall with its stone hulk.  Scattered about the room are pairs, trios, and larger groups of chairs arranged for comfortable dialog, intimate discussions, or group arguments.  A colorful Therengian carpet covers the floor, underlying several fine tables which stand available to hold drinks and food.  Shiny brass lamps burn at regular intervals around the walls, providing a sweet scent and little smoke.</description>

    <description>A long oak table, the finest piece of furniture in the pub, demands most of the space in the room.  A slew of mismatched chairs encircle the table, eating up the remaining space.  Two rusty iron lamps spread their glow from atop the table.</description>

    <description>The deteriorating floorboards are mostly covered with an elaborate patchwork of threadbare throw rugs.  A frame of curved rattan supports a thick mattress clothed with linen sheets which may have once been white.  Pushed into a dim corner of the room is a roomy circular chair, also of rattan.  Above a tarnished brass lamp is a black triangle of soot, dirtying the fading white wash.</description>

    <description>The cellar is packed with beer barrels, wine casks, tuns, and crates of staples and foodstuffs.  Narrow aisles pass between the high stacks.  A rack supports several tapped barrels and kegs for the lesser ordered beverages carried by the pub.  Bags of flour, sugar, and other dry ingredients are piled on shelves and atop tuns to prevent the damp floor from damaging them.  It is a wonder Denison or his staff can find anything in the clutter.</description>

    <description>Crates of furs and piles of tightly wrapped spinnerets are stacked in the room, many of them tagged with the names of far away places -- the destinations where the furs are bound.  A spindly male elf, Willowbee himself, is often seen bustling around the shop and preparing orders while keeping an eye on the door for hunters, trappers, and traders to bring him business.</description>

There is hardly room to turn around, much less closely examine anything, but the merchant is delighted to see any potential customer and eagerly awaits an order.</description>

    <description>Like a great melting pot of chaos and order, the Exchange is constantly filled with traders and dock workers, hauling in imports and trying to strike up profitable deals with other merchants.  Numbers are tossed through the air, handshakes are made, and crates are bought and sold -- all for the neverending, energizing grind of trying to seize the perfect bargain.</description>

    <description>Shadowed by the decks above and hanging over the deep, rolling ocean, the lower deck provides a delightful view of the sea.  Every now and then the tumbling waves crash against the dock and spray the deck with water, leaving it constantly damp and glistening.  Deck chairs have been lined up between the doors on the south side of the guildhall, keeping them fairly dry for those wishing to relax and enjoy the salty air.</description>

Footsteps can often be heard from above and below, along with the occasional squeaking of the rope-service.

Long-eared and camel-faced, the kregkeirels peek over their pens with bored interest, using their long necks to get a good view of the hay-filled surroundings.  Along one wall is a row of panniers, large woven baskets shaped to fit comfortably on the back of the beasts.  Stablehands come and go as they see to their work, sometimes stopping to offer the beasts an affectionate pat.</description>
