The Samurai Guild
   The samurai warrior is unique to the far eastern lands. They are masters
of the blade and exceptional hand-to-hand fighters, but their most impressive
attribute would be their mental focus. Each samurai spends as much time in
deep meditation as they do in combat training, believing the mind to be the
most important weapon of all. The room upstairs reflects this, a quiet and
serene meditation room, while here, the lower floor is a dojo where the in-
tense training is done.

The Way of the Emerald Bull
   Yet another bustling city street within Jade, the Emerald Bull is some-
times referred to as the street of guilds, as many have been built here
between the river and the Storm Port District.  The Emerald Bull is also
the primary avenue of travelling to the exceptionally busy harbour so
cargo as well as people frequent this route. Besides all that, the road
is kept in pristine condition, lined with flowerbeds and trees, with the
river to the west. The guild houses are mostly all the same style, bamboo
structures with different coloured awnings and markings, with some rising
five stories off the ground.

The North Bridge
   The north and south bridges are identical in construction and quite a
simple design. A simple wooden arch serves as a walkway across the Jade
river, elevated just enough to allow some of the smaller passenger rafts
to pass underneath.  Cherry trees in large earthenware pots are placed as
decoration along the length of the bridge. The north bridge here connects
the northern beach area to the harbour.

The Corniche
   The Corniche is one of the most amazing locations within the Jade
Empire. The street is tended meticulously, with the tiled walkway cleaned
so thoroughly that one can almost see a reflection. Flower beds and cherry
trees that seem to blossom all year round line the street. The river flows
softly as soothing music to the east and all around one is filled with the
feelings of serenity. Along the west side here the palace rises up the full
five stories, and flower petals float down from the upper balconies like a
heavenly snowfall. The north bridge across the Jade river is east.

   This is the northeastern edge of central Jade city. To the east the river
flows lazily into the ocean, with the coastal beach lying just north. Just
across the river one can see the long dock of the Jade harbour stretching
out into the sea. The palisades surround the palace on three sides to the
west, while the Corniche connects in the south. The bustling streets, fresh
ocean air, and elegant designs of the streets all remains statements to
the overall glory and splendor of Jade.

The Northern Palisades
   The palisades consist of a large plaza and walkway that surround the
palace on three sides, much like a large and busy courtyard. Constructed
much like the plaza, with green-hued tiles and an exhorborant ammount of
plants and flowers it is just another example of the beauty and majesty
of the Jade Empire. Along the northern end of city is a serene walk be-
tween the ocean and the impressive palace. Peddlers usually set up shop
along this area, believing it to be the busiest, and indeed, everyone in
Jade usually walks along this road at least once a day. The sweet frag-
rance of flowers mixes with the coast's salt water spray that seems to
calm the nerves.

   A small market has been set up here, along the northern palisades,

The Western Thoroughfare
   The Western Thoroughfare runs the entire length of the city from the
Grand Plaza to the ocean coastline in the north end. Along the entire
street there is a wall constructed on the western side that separates

not quite as elaborately decorated as other streets in Jade, but still
is well-kept and clean, and extremely busy most of the time. The royal

The Western Thoroughfare
   The Western Thoroughfare runs the entire length of the city from the
Grand Plaza to the ocean coastline in the north end. Along the entire
street there is a wall constructed on the western side that separates
the main city from the rice fields and the wilds. The thoroughfare is
not quite as elaborately decorated as other streets in Jade, but still
is well-kept and clean, and extremely busy most of the time. The royal
palatial palisades lie to the east and to the west is the sole gate
that seperates the city from the wilds.

The Rice Fields
   The rice fields separate the main city of Jade with the wilds off to
the west and act almost as a barrier.  To the western edge of the fields
a three foot high iron fence has been built to keep out any of the many
unwanted creatures that make the swamps their homes. The fields themselves
are borderline marshes, but they are kept clean and free of the many
forms of nasty vegetation that can contaminate the rice.  The farmers
can be seen wandering about, always checking on the growth of their crops.
