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.

   Two huge ironbound gates mark the eastern entrance to Tharnadia here,
standing twenty feet high, and surrounded by two fifty foot stone towers.  The
city seems quite well protected behind this great display of defensive might,
with arrow slits and defensive measures lining the towers.  The city walls
extend to the north and south for quite a distance, completely surrounding the
city up to the large cliffs upon which the twin keeps are built.  A dirt road
leads away to the east toward a stone ramp and the plains beyond.

Inside the Eastern City Gates
   Two huge ironbound gates guard the eastern entrance to Tharnadia here,
standing nearly twenty feet tall.  The gates are fastened to huge stone towers
on either side, making this entrance seem very secure and protected.  A system
of ropes and pulleys hold the door up, reducing its weight and making it
easily opened and closed by a single operator.  The Great Tharnadian Way leads
away to the west into the heart of the city, while the gateway exits out into
a vast grassy plains with mountains in the distance.  The wall road leads to
the north and to the south.

The Grand Tharnadian Way
   This broad avenue runs through the center of Tharnadia, continuing to the
east of here.  There are onyx menhirs standing every five feet along the side
of the road, silent sentinels on its journey through the city.  Small crimson
cobblestones make up the roadway, each fitted to its neighbor through a tongue
and groove system.  The street looks highly traveled, with buildings flanking
the road as far off as the eye can see. To the west of here, the Great Bazaar,
where visiting merchants peddle their goods, opens up.
Obvious exits: -East -West
You flee westward!

Inside the Eastern City Gates
   Two huge ironbound gates guard the eastern entrance to Tharnadia here,
standing nearly twenty feet tall.  The gates are fastened to huge stone towers
on either side, making this entrance seem very secure and protected.  A system
of ropes and pulleys hold the door up, reducing its weight and making it
easily opened and closed by a single operator.  The Great Tharnadian Way leads
away to the west into the heart of the city, while the gateway exits out into
a vast grassy plains with mountains in the distance.  The wall road leads to
the north and to the south.
Obvious exits: -North -East -South -West
Puddles of fresh blood cover the ground.
