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.

a small forest opens to the south and north.  The road continues west toward
the city gates, and east toward a stone ramp.
