The Great Crossroad
   The Great Crossroads separate the mighty city of Tharnadia from the wilderness
and the dangers of the outside world.  The spires of the city can be seen off in
the distance to the west, while a mighty fortress rises up just to the east of
here.  All newcomers to the Realms are warned about leaving the protection of the
city, and should do so only when they feel confident.  A tall sign points in
every direction here, listing off points of interest and some of the other major
hometowns that lie scattered across this contintent.
A bright light fills this area.

The Road Leading From Tharnadia
   This road leads away from Tharnadia, toward the lands east.  This section
of earth is lower than the areas flanking the Tharnadian countryside, the
result of an earthquake many centuries ago.  Green grasses flank the road, and
a small forest opens to the south and north.  The road continues west toward
the city gates, and east toward a stone ramp.
