Before the Gates of Narak~
You are before a large gate of solid sandstone inset into a massive wall

of granite.  The top of the wall is lined with small slots for bowmen to

shoot out from, but the guards, if any are present, are not visible.  An

opposing force would face many losses if they assaulted this massive gate

of stone.  To the west an arch of gold frames a doorway to the desert

over a road of hard rock.

West Gate of Narak~
You are standing just inside the main gate of the city, a huge sandstone

slab which stretches many feet overhead.  Small portcullises mark

entrances into the walls themselves to the north and south.  What appears

to be the main street of Narak leads east, the Way of Kol Amroth, and to

the west a rock road leads away from the city.  A large @elever@n on the

side of the gate appears to be the mechanism for raising and lowering its

massive weight.

The walls of Narak~
These walls, abandoned by the cityguard, have fallen into neglect. 

Cobwebs litter every corner and cranny, and the scent of death permeates

the air.  It is definitely more chill here between the stone walls than

the desert air outside.  There is a small @blever@n on the south wall

near a portcullis.

~
[Finius] spelled definitely, no 'a'.

The Walls of Narak~
No living thing inhabits these walls, of that there is not much

uncertainty.  The sounds of rats normally thought present in the cool,

damp places uninhabited by humans are absent.  The dust on the walls

appears thick and undisturbed.  The guards gave up on occupying the walls

several years ago.

~

suggest that these walls were once watched by the cityguards, but have

now been abandoned.  Cobwebs hang thick from the corners where the damp

grey stones meet.  The hallway between the walls heads north and south.

You are standing below a winding stone staircase leading up into the

enemies or the palpable creeping hand of death in the air that drove the

guards from the walls, the fact remains that the bravest of the cityguard

dare not step foot within these lifeless walls.

it should be Walls not walls of Narak

this is Northeast Tower.

The walls of Narak~
You are standing below a winding stone staircase leading up into the

southeast guard tower of Narak.  Whether it was the lack of any nearby

enemies or the palpable creeping hand of death in the air that drove the

guards from the walls, the fact remains that the bravest of the cityguard

dare not step foot within these lifeless walls.  The hallways lead

between the walls to the north and west.

Before a Dark, Mysterious Pool~
You stand before the smooth, mirrorlike surface of a dark pool.  Its

depths hidden, the glow of white light shimmers deep beneath its surface

like a false moon.  About 100 meters in circumference, anything from a

black dragon to a sunken ship could be below the surface.  Or nothing at

all.  A passage leads west away from the pool.

The stillness of the air seems suffocating, as if nothing substantial

suggest that these walls were once watched by the cityguards, but have

now been abandoned.  Cobwebs hang thick from the corners where the damp

One of the oldest and most revered buildings in Narak, the Wyvern Inn,

stands mightily to the north.  Far from disrepair, the building is in the

same condition of perfect craftsmanship as it has always been.  To the

west, Main Street passes an arch leading to the city square, and to the

an exremely out-of-place oak tree.

Outside the Sultan's Palace~
To the east rises a marvelously constructed palace of domes and towers,

the home of the Sultan of Narak.  North and south runs Palace Street, and

to the west the shops of Main Street can be seen, with scores of merchants

The Palace of the Sultan~
The sand-colored streets of Narak give way to the white marble of the

interior of the sultan's palace.  A spiraling stair leads upward to the

throne room, and to the north you see an open oakenwood door leading

toward the sultan's private chambers.  The palace gates to the west are

much too massive to be pushed open, but a large crank mounted in the wall

beside it might have something to do with its operation.  A strange

statue of a quite rotund gnome stands in the southwest corner next to a

potted plant.

~

[Merior] i presume no one can get into bedroom since it isnt done...

[Phule] bedroom is just a teaser - never meant to be done.

[Finius] good guard description.

[Finius] why do you just get to go in and see the sultan?

[Finius] not sure what code is available to make you wait, or have guards check you over first...but they should.

This statue depicts the commercial genius of the first Sultan of Narak,

rebuilt Narak and transformed it from a dying desert village to a

In a simple clay pot, this fern is very leafy and moist and is obviously

the bustle of the city, as no shops line the city streets.

Despite the looming form of the sultan's palace to the northeast, the

stone support a massive marble roof which encloses a graceful temple.  To

the west, the sandstone wall of a building rises up into the desert air, a

staircase leading up its edge toward a small shop above.  The merchants

and servants running to and fro along the street move more slowly and

quietly here, as if respecting the peace of the temple.

leading up the side of it to a small shop above.  To the north, Palace

Intersection of Palace and Khotrad~
The streets of Palace and Khotrad come to a bustling intersection here,

with merchants coming and going along Palace Street to the north and

Khotrad to the west.  To the east stands a small brightly-coloured tent

with a sign above its flap, a strange spicy odor coming from the tent's

interior.  A small table and a few chairs have been placed here by the

cityguard to act as a quiet place to talk, as this corner of the city,

while busy, does not boast the commercial traffic of other parts of the

city.  A small wooden ladder runs up the wall to the south to a trapdoor. 

The trapdoor leads into a house which hangs from the wall.

~
[Merior] is cityguard one or two words?

The tent is poorly lit, as only a few candles on a small wooden table in

Large carts pulled by horses haul loads to and from the ramp below.

reach or disembark from a ship at the docks.  To the west an entrance to

voices and the sound of glasses clinking together.  Aghrin Street runs

north and south, a long line of worn sandstone.  The smell of camels

wafts in from the north.

~

Aghrin Street~
Aghrin Street runs north and south, traversing the western side of the

city.  The sound of laughter and merry-making seems to ring from all

directions, filling the air with a degree of light-heartedness that makes

the day or night seem somewhat brighter.  A putrid smell comes from an

open doorway to the west.

~

Aghrin Street~
The fine sandstone of Aghrin Street stretches north toward more shops,

and south it crosses Narak's Main Street.  Above the open door to the

east hangs a silver-engraved sign depicting a curved sword crossed with

an axe, while to the west a finely-tooled wooden sign depicting a

crescent moon encircled by a coiling dragon overhangs another open

doorway.  Bright-robed merchants cavort up and down this street, yet none

seem to be looking your way.  A sturdy wooden stair leads up and over the

smithy's doorway to a balcony overhead.

The working is intricate and the sign seems recently polished.  The

curving sword must be the sword of the desert, the scimitar, and the

large battle-axe depicted is reminiscent of dwarven masterwork.  The sign

must belong to a smithy.

Aghrin Street~
Smiling citizens come strolling out of the doorway to the west after a

session in Brahle's Masseuse.  The heavy, blisteringly hot sandstone of

Aghrin Street leads north and south toward more shops.  A set of sturdy

wooden stairs lead up the walls on each side of the street.  The stairway

to the east climbs above an open doorway, and the stairway to the west

climbs to a shop above the street level.  The shops in this area do not

hang bright signs, but seem to be well-visited despite the lack of show.

through an open door to the west, and the streets of Aghrin and Truskin

lead south and east.  A small wooden ladder runs up the wall to the north

to a trapdoor below a house which hangs from the wall.

Leather armors hang from every inch of wall space, and yet unfinished

pieces litter a small workspace in the northeast corner promising yet

more leathers in the works.  A small wooden chair sits facing a desk

littered with carving and staining tools.  This shop is simple, as if the

leathersmith has been settled comfortably down into the shop for many

years.

Noisy merchants walk hurridly past you from a bank to the east, and to

Truskin, and to the south, you can see the walls of the Sultan's palace. 

The intersection to the north seems dark, an area which most of the

This small room is the entrance to the Tower of Assassins.  Small holes,

which could hide prying eyes or poison-tipped darts, line the walls and

winding heights.  A small handprint-shaped pressure plate on the wall

looks to the the mechanism by which the door is opened.

forth, chilling your very blood.

This watchtower adorns the northwest corner of the city of Narak, and is

lit by an eerie green glow.  Shelves of books adorn the walls, most

likely a new addition as the cityguard is mostly illiterate.  Rich

tapestries adorn the walls as well, extravagant for a watchtower.  A

winding stone staircase descends into darkness below.  The view out of

the west window overlooks a land devoid of life.  A small lever rests

The Salty Passage~
In this large damp chamber that smells of the sea, one can buy passage to

different ports of the realms, for a price.  Workers take cargo to and

from the underground warehouse to the north, carrying it both up the ramp

into the city and down the tunnel to the west.  Another large tunnel

enters the city from the east, tunnelling beneath the city walls and out

into the deserts east of the city.

~

[Finius] wow, if you could book passage to a city...

The Aviary and Kennel~
Dogs bark loudly at your intrusion and several large birds screech loudly

in your direction.  The birds are confined tightly in their cages, while

each dog has a small penned off area to call their own.

Jackal's Ferocious Felines and Serpents Galore~
The roars and hisses of large cats intermix with the nearly-silent

slithering of serpents in their cages to hit your ears with a cacaphony

of sound.  All of them seem to be staring at you, and all of them appear

to be hungry.

The Dock Tunnel~
This is the eastern end of the massive tunnel connecting the docks to the

interior of the city.  This tunnel is dug beneath the cliff itself,

thousands of tons of dirt overhead.  The tunnel stretches east and west,

heavy stone blocks paving the ground.

The Docks of Narak~
Ships flying flags of all descriptions lie docked here at the massive and

vast docks of Narak.  Several men are in the process of unloading some

cargo and carting it through the tunnel and into the city.  To the east

the dock tunnel disappears into the large cliff beneath the city of Narak. 

A wooden walkway climbs around the cliff and up to the hard rock above.

A mysterious tunnel~
Everything about this tunnel is out of place in the desert world of Narak. 

The tunnel is damp and cool, almost chill, and the neutrality of the city

above has been replaced by a dark, foreboding emptyness ahead.  No

comforting breeze blows; the air is still and heavy, like a tomb, but

from somewhere, the smell of incense and spice wafts its way to your

nostrils.  The tunnel almost seems alien, with the only familiar sight

being a small gray lever on the south wall.

On the east edge of a large sandstone building, a stairway descends down

to the streets below.  To the south, the southern half of Narak spreads

out before you, but the high walls of the city prevent any view of the

west, and to the north another of these small rooftop shops can be seen.

A Balcony on a Sandstone Wall~
On the east edge of a large sandstone building, a stairway descends down

to the streets below.  To the north, the northern half of Narak spreads

out before you, most notably the high-sloping gold domes of the palace

and the black turrets of the assassins tower to the northeast, and the

Wyvern Inn to the northwest.  Soft music lulls out of an open doorway to

the west, and to the south another of the small rooftop shops can be seen.

~
nomob

[Merior] music lulls?

[Phule] yup. music lulls.

[Finius] should be notably

[Phule] fixed, thanks

The Desert Song~
The western half of this small shop is dominated by a small stage, upon

which a few musicians play their lutes to the beautiful sound of a young

human female singing.  The other walls are adorned by hanging instruments

and posters of famous bards.  The smell of a coffee shop wafts in through

a set of swinging doors to the south.  To the east, the shop is exited

through an open doorway onto a sandstone balcony.

~
nomob

make liam a bard trainer (when bards come in)

[Phule] heh i can't believe i actually wrote above rbug

[Merior] are instruments currently useable for anything?

[Phule] don't think so

musicians~
Two lutists play a sorrowful melody and harmony while a dextrous harpist

plays a chilling countermelody of arpeggios and chords in a haunting

minor key.  The singer's lilting voice tells the story of Ossen, the

gnomish knight, and his fateful encounter with an evil dragon.

The M.T. Cup~
This quiet little coffee shop is quaint and has a cozy, friendly

atmosphere.  The sounds of "The Desert Song", the room to the north where

bards and minstrels play at most hours of the day, come wafting through

the swinging doors to the north and combine with the low din of happy

conversation of the shop's relaxed patrons.  The sights and smells of

coffees, soups, breads, and spices give the place a pleasant aroma to

match the pleasant mood.  A small sign is tacked up next to the counter,

and a small dartboard hangs on the wall.

~
nomob

[Merior] sounds of song come from the room?

[Phule] yes

[Merior] awful alot of pleasantness in one sentence...

[Phule] ain't it pleasant :)

The pot is made from steel and is heated by a small fuelless flame

Balcony Above Main Street~
This balcony overhangs the sandstone surface of Main Street, where

bustling merchants run about in a milling frenzy.  A sturdy wooden stair

leads down to the street's surface, and an open arch in the sandstone to

the north leads toward the smell of spices and seafood.  A wooden walkway

leads east from this balcony to another.

Shop - Authentic Western Food~
This shop is plainly adorned, as its name suggests, but its food bears

spices and seasonings beyond numbering.  From coconut shell glasses to

row upon row of various seafood dishes to several large pots of soup,

this shop is sure to have at least a few surprises.  Archways in the

sandstone lead to wooden balconies to the south and west.

The Laughing Lobster~
This shop, half on the roof of a much larger sandstone building and half

on a wooden balcony, is filled with the sounds and smells of boiling

lobster.  A hideous wooden sign depicting a lobster with a horrifically

large smile is hung in poor taste over the shop, above a table surrounded

by a few chairs.  A sturdy wooden staircase leads down to Aghrin Street,

and a wooden walkway leads across the street to another balcony opposite

this one.

Balcony above Aghrin Street~
No rooftop shop graces this wooden balcony over a score of feet above the

sandstone streets of Narak.  Instead the balcony takes advantage of its

marvelous view of the Sea of Light, the massive, endless ocean whose

waves are visible above the ciy gates to the west.  The scenic vista is

complete with a bench upon which you may rest your weary bones and an

overhanging tent flap to keep the sun from beating down upon you.  Small

wooden walkways to the west and south seem to lead to other balconies.

Narak - Underlevel~
The underlevel of Narak, while not as crowded and bustling as the

merchant city itself, is far from deserted.  The inhabitants seem to

value their quiet, however, as not much commotion is heard from any

direction save a faint din from above.  Small streets head to the north

and east into strangely cooler air, and a steel-runged ladder leads up a

vertical shaft toward the city proper, and down even further into

near-total darkness.  The underlevel is lit by hanging chandeliers of

glowing moss, attached firmly to the ceiling nearly 25 feet overhead.

Astral Chamber~
@b@WTransparent flitters of glimpsed images float past in a sea of insane

tranquility in this place with seemingly no up or down, east or west, or

horizon.  The only firmament in sight is the strange floating island of

hardwood floor you stand upon.  A nearly translucent staircase descends

from this high perch amidst nothingness to a jade-glowing chamber far

below.@n

Cityguard Barracks~
Hundreds of cots line the walls of this room, the sleeping-place for the

city's many loyal guardsmen.  An imposing-looking black iron gate stands

to the west, leading to the streets of Narak.

Salab's House of Samite~
Bright lanterns burn in brilliant, colored glass around the walls,

throwing radiant, multicolored light through this room.  Along the walls

are beautiful garments of samite - robes, sleeves, dresses, all

glimmering in the light as it dances through the folds of silk.  A low,

simple door leads to a dim room to the west, or a staircase leads up.  A

sign is pinned proudly to the wall.

The Dock Tunnel~
The massive tunnel leads north and south beneath the cliffs west of

Narak, connecting the docks with the city.  Twenty feet wide and twenty

feet deep, the tunnel is lit by flickering torches.  The sound of

crashing waves echos down the tunnel's length.

while to the south, it heads deeper into the city.

The Dock Tunnel~
The tunnel makes a massive turn here, as a few hundred tons of heavy

stone blocks are used to construct a massive intersection.  Half of the

tunnel leads north, toward the docks, while the other half leads east,

tunneling beneath the walls of Narak and toward the city's underground

entrance.

Torches, set about ten feet apart on alternating sides of the tunnel,

light the passage with their flickering light.  Shadows mark the grooves

separating the colossal stone blocks of the tunnel's foundation, massive

pieces of rock which pave the tunnel as it connects the docks to the west

to the city proper to the east.

The Dock Tunnel~
The heavy stone blocks used in the construction of this tunnel have been

cut to precision.  Fit side by side and one on top of each other, the

ten-foot cubic blocks form the massive frame for the passage.  To the

east, the tunnel leads toward the underground entrance of Narak, while to

the west, the passage leads under the city walls and out to the docks.

The heavy stonework of the tunnel is very evident here, as the

smell of salt touches the air, and a cool sea breeze blows in from the

west.

the west a ramp leads up into the city, while to the east the tunnel

A Large Tunnel Beneath the City Walls~
The heavy stonemasonry of the tunnels is evident in both the stone floor,

which serves as a road, and the massive walls and ceiling of the tunnel. 

Cubic blocks of heavy stone, ten feet to a side, stand shoulder to

shoulder, holding back the tons of earth which threaten to crush the

passage.  The tunnel leads north, out of the city, and west, toward the

undrgound entrance to Narak.
