Valley Overlook~
   This is a point on the southeast edge of a valley in the mountains
which seems perfectly positioned for viewing the whole of the valley.
Most of it is taken up by a small town, with some terraced fields on
the north side. There is a path downward to the north. The valley rim
rises precariously on the west, but can be safely reached by a rugged
path around to the south.

pokes up by the path to the north. To the east is a path that leads

Intersection of Sysphia and Miranda~
   The street layout chief of Anapest pulled off a rather
strange way of avoiding the problem of meshing together the
different brick patterns of the streets here. Instead of trying
to preserve a pattern north-south and one east-west, the pattern
on Miranda to the south turns here and becomes the pattern of
Sysphia to the east. There is a similar turn going from north
to west. A diagonal between the two brick patterns is filled
in with gravel.

   Apparently, the confused person in charge of laying out

she used square bricks to fill out the area, preventing any
possible kind of confusion, though the resulting grid may
be less aesthetic - it WOULD be good for some kind of large
scale chess game, though.

   The center of religious life in Anapest is atop this little

of a particular isolation from the rest of Anapest and a feeling
of closeness to the sun, moon, stars, clouds, and all of nature
itself. The cheerfully imposing Temple of Anapest is a few steps
north of here, while the Spiritual Garden is to the south. Paths
lead down the hill to the west and east.

West Tower Armoury~
   There is no real furniture here, just lots of room to hang,
horde, and stockpile weapons. The security of this room, apparently,
has not always been very tight, and the probability of there being
any significant selection is low.
   A rickity staircase leads toward the top of the tower and there is
a door in the south wall.

discerned. A shaky flight of stairs leads down into the tower.

Palace Gates~
   Anapest has been ruled for centuries by royalty, and
naturally, they need someplace to stay, so it might as
well be opulent and walled off. The gates here are the
only entrance and exit for the palace, at least the only
public ones. This area amounts to a square cut in the
perimeter of the palace grounds, making it easier to
defend against hostile people. A party trying to force
its way in, even if it defeated the guards, would have
to fear forces at the top of the walls, ready to riddle
a body with arrows.

is not wanted himself. The bars of the lockup form the west
