    <description>The whitewashed building before you is stark and functional.  A sign mounted on it is hand painted and carved with cunning skill.  White-robed figures and all manner of injured and infirm people stream in and out of a double door, leaving thin trails of blood on the spotless pavement.</description>

    <description>Not far off you spot the town walls, which meet at a right angle in this northeast corner of town.  This road is kept busy by the traffic to and from the popular haunts crowded into this sector - the Barbarians' Guild, the Champions' Arena, the Empaths' Guild, Martyr Saedelthorp's Healing Hospital, and the convivial Gaethrend's Court Inn.  In addition, the Paladins' Guild farther north, and the gate leading out of town to the Warrior Mages' Guild and the wilds all are accessed through this street.</description>

    <description>This bustling junction presents a cross section of the world's inhabitants in various states of health and disrepair.  Bloodied adventurers, impaired healers, overextended spellsingers, and other members of the walking wounded lurch their way towards the Healing Hospital to the west.  Litters, carts and horses carry those too badly hurt to move under their own power.  In striking contrast are the strapping barbarians who swagger by, towards the Arena and Barbarians' Guild southwest.</description>

    <description>You stand at the southeast corner of the Champions' Arena, its thick, solid walls and dome rising above you.  You can barely make out on its surface scrawled inscriptions and graffiti with names and titles of barbarians of yore.  Some of the engravings have dates and numbers next to them.  A gust of wind blows the scent of incense offered in the flames on the Temple towers to mix with the odors of sweated bodies.</description>

Scrawled inscriptions and graffiti with names and titles of barbarians of yore are barely visible on the wall's surface.  Some of the engravings have dates and numbers next to them.  Jutting up over the top of the wall in the distance to the east is a thin spire that appears to be shrouded in mist.</description>

    <description>The cries of scalpers and touts from the street mix with those from within the thick-walled, domed structure here -- shouts calling for blood and demanding that honor be satisfied, as well as less shrill exhortations to local favorites or up-and-coming gladiators and knights.  Several daunting-looking centurions clad in full ceremonial armor scrutinize you stoically from under the scarlet canopy that shades the entrance to the Champions' Arena.</description>

Vines cling gratefully to the walls, their tendrils seeking ever-tighter grips around the crosspieces of the trellises.  Ivy, morning glory, honeysuckle, jasmine and leafy green creepers all compete in the upward race for light and moisture, making the facade of the shop look more like an ancient ruin than the thriving and busy trade it is.</description>

They also tend to dress differently - fully equipped, even in the midst of the city - in leathers, hide and armor, weapons drawn or at the ready over shoulders or at their sides.  Carefully you make your way through the throng, since something tells you this would not be a good spot to step on anyone's toes.</description>

Its granite pavement has been well-worn, since it forms the north-south connection between the major artery of the Crossing, Clanthew Boulevard, and Lorethew Street.  Several stone benches, roughly hewn out of the same material as the pavement, form a semi-circle around a polychrome plaster statue in a quiet corner of the square.</description>

This is the point where anyone and everyone who passes through the Northeast Gate either leaving town or arriving must cross paths.  You quickly conclude this is no spot to stop and admire the scenery of the regions of the Eastern Tier beyond, nor to study the local architecture around you, since the momentum of the crowd carries you along, almost without your realizing it.</description>

    <description>Oralana Ramble runs along the east wall of town, leading between the Northeast and the Eastern Gates.  Somehow, it is relatively calm compared to those roads that lead to the Town Green, Town Hall, the Bank and the other nerve centers of the Crossing.  The three towers guarding the temple thrust into the sky to the southwest, their flames a beacon for miles.  A bluejay lands on a ledge atop the wall, chasing a pair of mudwrens from their comfy perch into a clump of weeds along the side of the path.</description>

The only light seems to come from the mother-of-pearl screen that serves as the far wall.  A table, with a brass balance scale and small envelopes, vials and cloth pouches, is crammed between the chests.  It is here that Herilo prepares his charms, powders, potions and artifacts, as he holds forth on their various virtues, uses and cautions.</description>

Tembeg, being a humble sort, has laid down a few planks leading into his establishment to serve as a walkway.

Lace curtains shroud the windows at the front of the home, and a third window, etched and frosted, is mounted into the polished wooden door.</description>
    <description>A path of white gravel winds through the darkness to the steps of a moderately sized cottage.  Dark shapes hunch on either side of the steps, outlined dimly by the lantern shining through white lace in one window.  The white porch rails and pillars are muted by the night, the porch furniture crouched like slumbering beasts.  A greyish oval glows from the center of the door.</description>

    <description>The austere granite walls of this immense great hall tower upward to the full height of the building.  A banner hangs from the ceiling far above.  Intricately woven carpets soften the polished mahogany floor and provide traction in the event of a fight.  Even in his home, a Barbarian remains ever-vigilant and ready for battle.  An enormous jeweled steel greatsword glints above a raised podium at the far end of the hall, from which the Barbarian Guild Leader performs his duties.</description>

    <description>Framed by four colossal statues that serve to bear the weight of the ceiling, this area houses artifacts of the guild.  Preserved for eternity, pelts of vanquished creatures alternate with beastial trophy heads, framing a large steel sheet embossed with the maker's marks of guild weaponsmiths.  On one wall, portraits of leading guild members hang beneath mounted weapons.  A round padded leather bench provides a place to sit while examining the exhibits.</description>

Their dim glow flickers and dances along the lengths of wood and steel, a destructive arsenal of weaponry that has been amassed over many ages into the guild Armory.  Row upon row of devastating armaments crowds the area, evoking images of brutal conflicts and violent battles of the past.</description>

Narrow shafts of light from the well-lit arena pierce through the steel prongs of a massive portcullis, fracturing the gloom like glowing spears.  Through the foreboding gate, the imposing battle arena takes shape, beckoning all who dare.</description>

In the center of the courtyard, a small fountain, filled with the darting forms of tiny fish, babbles to itself.  Several elaborately-carved cedar benches are placed at one edge of the garden, directly across from a cushioned swing hanging from the arbor by wrought iron chains.  A riot of seasonal plants compete for the attention of those who pass here, and a whispering willow tree looms overhead as if creating a protective mantle.</description>

A decanter of ruby port sits atop a mahogany liquor cabinet, numerous bottles of various colors and sizes visible behind the closed glass doors.

Merchants heavy with coin bustle quickly towards the bank, while more leisurely shoppers wander across the gilded walkway, pausing sometimes to admire the view of Crossing -- the spherical shape of the Temple majestically rising above the city proper.</description>

    <description>A smattering of applause greets you when you enter the cottage.  Several seated youths are listening attentively to an Elothean lad at a podium who is addressing them.  He speaks animatedly with eloquent gestures, and his audience leans forward in their seats, captivated by his speech.  A Halfling instructress studies him carefully, occasionally jotting down a notation in her book.</description>

A small stone guardhouse is set snugly against the outer battlement wall, offering those warriors not on watch a place to shelter from the elements.  Some whimsical soul has set a flowerpot and a doormat proclaiming Go Away! by the guardhouse door.</description>

The chisel marks in the wall's stones are still fresh and raw, as if the rocks were set into place just recently.  From here, the most notable landmark is the Paladin guild and the homes near it.  On the inner side of the walkway, a low wooden barrier prevents anyone from stumbling backwards and dropping to the ground below.</description>

However, their light shines on the trees and grasses that surround pathway and cause long shadows to dance on the dirt surface with even the slightest breeze.  Occasionally, a lone rabbit ventures out of its leafy home, braving the darkness for one last meal.</description>
    <description>Shaggy green grass and broad-leafed plants have mostly supplanted the marram stalks of the beach's sandy dunes.  Several young trees have gaethzen globes affixed to their braches, causing them to bend over the footpath and create a spacious, leafy arch large enough to permit even the tallest of Gor'Togs to easily pass under.  Woodland rabbits making their home in the foliage dart to and fro while searching for particular vegetarian delights.</description>

From a high archway to the east waft the sounds of good company and the smells of even better ale and victuals, and through some stout double doors to the south are heard roars of encouragement.</description>

    <description>Skalliweg Barrelthumper, proud proprietor of The Half Pint, perches alertly on a high stool behind the sleek, polished bar, shouting at serving wenches, cooks and customers alike.  Patrons dine, drink, dispute and dream on, in spite of the constant hum, draped over comfortable rush-seated chairs or hunched over well-worn tables.  Faces flicker and eyes glimmer in the dim light of the wrought-iron chandelier and candle stubs sputtering in crocks on the tables.</description>

The room itself has no tables and chairs, but rather a recessed wooden seating pit with overstuffed cushions scattered about the floor.  At the far end is a raised platform with a lectern, a low ottoman and a music stand.</description>

Several square tables bear cards, tokens, game pieces, and painted wooden boards with various runes and numbers on them.

    <description>Though quiet elegance may be the watchword in the salesroom, mayhem comes closer to describing these surroundings. Clerks, their arms piled high with exquisite garments, hats, canes, and scarves, scurry back and forth, whistling happily over their work. Near a large window in the back of the room, a new shipment is arriving, the burly delivery men looking coarse and rough compared to the smaller, softer appearance of the salespeople.</description>

    <description>Long rods suspended from the low ceiling display a mind-boggling variety of clothing.  Capes lined with silk, fine ceremonial tunics, and elegant frock coates nudge up against leather jerkins and other more protective garments, all awaiting the touch of a master tailor to define them more perfectly for their new owners. Bolts of fabric, march like small sentinels along sturdy shelves along the edges of the room, protecting the modesty of some of the more bashful patrons.</description>

    <description>In a dark, fetid alley, hard behind the Viper's Nest Inn, you happen upon a small shrine.  Kicking away what appears to be rubbish from around it, you reveal a sculpted granite image of the serpent god Ushnish.  Seeing that, you realize with a shudder that it is not rubbish you just pushed aside, but offerings of dead rats, uncured, fresh skins and other offal left by devotees of the viper-headed deity.</description>

    <description>Cracked flagstones pave the grim courtyard of the Viper's Nest Inn, making you stumble as you feel your way along.  A scabrous-looking, dense deobar tree blocks off any light.  Trails of mud, dust, sweat and blood streak the pavement, as if heavy burdens of all ilk had been dragged through here.  In a corner of the patio is a broken clay urn filled with water, the only place where guests and carousers can wash, or dunk themselves to shake off the haze of their intoxicants of choice.</description>

A constant dripping sound and the scurrying of creatures unseen about your feet makes you utter a quick prayer that there are no impending squalls out over Segoltha Bay.  Leaking casks of sour ale, maggot-ridden hogsheads of flour, and dark-stained, shapeless burlap bundles can barely be discerned in the half-murk.</description>

The premises are often frequented by spies, conspirators, thieves, smugglers, rogue adventurers and crooked traders.  Folks congregate around long, rough-hewn tables, hunched forward listening, gesturing or speaking in harsh, sibilant whispers.  The ale is warm, the viands are inedible, nonetheless the Pit is jammed.  You notice a large proportion of S'Kra Mur and Gor'Togs in the mix.</description>

A filthy mattress with discolored ticking is thrown haphazardly in a corner.  Your feet adhere to the planks and, wondering why, you glance down to see reddish-brown spots that trail out the door.  A lone oil lamp provides dim light.  The harsh chatter of the crowd downstairs, and the scuffles from the courtyard insure that sleep here will be fitful at best.</description>

Off to the side, a comfortable looking chair is placed adjacent to a bookcase and a small table.  A large desk sits directly opposite the fireplace and fills out the room's meager, but functional, furnishings.</description>

An open door floods the area with light that sparkles off several dozen ivory candles supported on tall golden stands.  Servants and other staff filter up and down the winding staircase and through the arch.  A chaise, its watered-silk cushions a deep shade of blue, provides patrons with a place to enjoy the surrounds.</description>
    <description>Echoing the quiet night streets outside, the tranquil nature of this office offers shelter from the night air.  Mounted in tall, golden stands, ivory candles cast flickering shadows over the wooden floor, their sweet wax scenting the air.  Muffled rustlings of paper can be heard from the room's corner as night clerks shuffle through documents filed on a large desk next to an ornate arch.  Servants and other staff filter up and down the winding staircase.</description>

Sets of round tables and red velvet chairs cluster in the southern corners of the room, giving respite to the patrons.</description>

    <description>Trinkets, toys, bags, and tools of all sorts appear strewn onto every available space.  The visual assault of colorful containers along racks, counters, bins, and shelves does nothing to improve the dusty and cob-web ridden state of the shop.  Nearly every inch of the floor space is taken up by sale surfaces, leaving walking room at a minimum.</description>

    <description>Soft robin's egg blue paper covers the walls of this large room, patterned with delicate arabesques in an even lighter shade of powder blue.  Several gaily-colored painted landscapes complement the rich hue of the paper, their heavy gilt frames resembling windows into perfect summer days.  The vibrant golden oak of the floor is muffled by a sumptuous woolen ivory rug with a deep, luxurious pile.  Several cheerful golden sconces provide bright -- but not harsh -- light, the oil they burn perfuming the air with a fresh citrus scent.</description>

An ornate marble bench rests in the far corner whilst a neatly ordered rock garden frames the entryway.  A series of manicured lawns provide space for a peaceful stroll punctuated by the occasional flowerbed.  Interspersed amongst the flowerbeds, an array of thirty nine diminutive pale marble statues present an interesting distraction from the natural beauty of the gardens.</description>

    <description>This private office is a welcome contrast to the front room of the Cormyn's pawnshop.  It appears to be a luxuriously appointed retreat for someone of great wealth and prominence.  Due to its quiet, tasteful decor, you are sure it must be someone other than Cormyn.  An ebony desk and a high-backed leather chair show signs of frequent use.  In the corner, a ceiling-high safe holds secrets to which you are not privy.</description>

A practice mat, complete with a display that holds an impressive-sized shield, provides space for training defensive maneuvers and healing while in the thick of combat.

Broken bottles sit haphazardly upon the shelves, and a utilitarian unlonchai bucket has been fastened to the floor.  In a tiny skylight, a Wayerd pyramid has been installed for drying herbs and other supplies.  No attempt has been made to add decoration to the room, yet the workaday tools of the practicing alchemist have a certain charm.</description>

A series of grunts and shouts sound out over the gathering while groups of cloaked figures shy away from the commotion and cluster together at mismatched sets of well-crafted tables and chairs that are carelessly arranged around the perimeter.  Occasionally, a figure draped in a feathered cloak moves through the dim flickering light in the room to stand near a nondescript box at the jagged entrance.</description>

Its high arches help to subdue the clangor, letting sounds rise and echo in the space overhead.  The flickering of flames and sounds of metal clanging against metal are more muted here, and the pace is less frantic.  Well-dressed tradesmen come and go as they place orders for large quantities of goods and supplies.</description>

A small end table pushed against the far wall displays an array of books in various stages of use, some closed, others opened, their assorted pages earmarked to denote several passages of interest.  At the center of the room, a large desk consumes most of the available space with its hulking form, scattered with crumpled slips of paper around two half-empty coffee mugs too long neglected to give off any steam.</description>
