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.

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.

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

Chaos shield - Last Edited: 2008-05-22 01:56:26 by kyse
=======================================================
* Area of effect: Self
* Aggressive: No
* Cumulative: No
* Duration: Dependent on proficiency of caster
* Type of spell: Protection

This spell creates a shield of chaos around the caster and randomly negates
a percentage of incoming damage.  When it does flare up, the partial magic
it blocks is chaotically transformed into something else.  But be warned,
the new magic although mostly beneficial, does have a chance to cause
ill effects as well.

Road Beneath the Gate Tower
   This moderately sized road runs along the inner edge of the high city walls
here, paved with large flat slabs of granite.  The defensive walls rise up
nearly fifty feet here, and are almost ten feet thick.  When Lord Kaynor had
the city built he made sure it was protected, even though the twin keeps were
built as the last mainstay of defense for the people.  This portion of the
road is enclosed by a tower which rises overhead.  A long steel ladder pokes
out through the ceiling, allowing access to the northern defense tower of the
Tharnadian eastern gates.  To the west a small dwelling sags between its
neighbors.  The road continues north, while the city gates lie to the south.

A Burned-out Home
   This house was destroyed by a large fire from the looks of it, and has yet
to be repaired or renovated.  There isn't anything left inside, just the
cracked and charred floors and walls, with the faint smell of burnt wood
permeating the air.  The northern wall road can be seen through the destroyed
doorway.

A Bend in the Wall Road
   This moderately sized road runs along the inner edge of the high city walls
here, paved with large flat slabs of granite.  When Lord Kaynor had the city
constructed he made sure it was protected, even though the twin keeps were
built as the last mainstay of defense for the people.  The defensive walls
rise up nearly fifty feet here, and are almost ten feet thick.  The city bank
lies to the north, its ornate ivory entrance seems out of place in this part
of the city.  The road continues to the east and to the north.  There is a
burned-out home to the south.

Road Beneath the Gate Tower
   This moderately sized road runs along the inner edge of the high city walls
here, paved with large flat slabs of granite.  The defensive walls rise up
nearly fifty feet here, and are almost ten feet thick.  When Lord Kaynor had
the city built he made sure it was protected, even though the twin keeps were
built as the last mainstay of defense for the people.  This portion of the
road is enclosed by a tower which rises overhead.  A long steel ladder pokes
out through the ceiling, allowing access to the northern defense tower of the
Tharnadian eastern gates.  To the west a small dwelling sags between its
neighbors.  The road continues north, while the city gates lie to the south.

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.

Outside the Eastern City Gates
   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.

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.
