    <description>The northwestern corner of the city is curiously barren of both houses and trees, save for a single building set well away from the street.  A peculiar aroma from the building wafts over the crushed shell path, bringing the scent of curing animal hide.  The only entrance is a wooden gate leading to the tanning courtyard.</description>

A crystal windchime tinkles softly whenever the wind stirs it, but the overhanging roof and construction of the building keeps any harsh weather from disturbing the visitor.  A low brazier burns to keep the chill from the air during the cool season.</description>

The walls, once a pale shade of cream, are speckled with various colors from the leatherworker's dyes, while the relatively dust-free state of the floor seems due more to the presence of several cats wandering about than any use of a broom.  Piles of leather and oddly-shaped wooden forms are stacked on shelves along the back wall, while near the window the cordwainer sits on a stool, hunched over his current project.</description>

    <description>Shreds of ancient luxury still cling to the room, giving hints of the grandeur it must once have contained.  A large four-poster bed stands forlornly, missing its mattress and with only shreds of lace-trimmed pink silk to show where the canopy once hung.  The single window looks out not over the cliffs and what would be a spectacular view of the city, but toward the hillside rising up to the south, creating a curiously closed-in feeling.  An iron hook has been sunk into the stone wall next to the window.</description>
