Inside The Eastern Gates of Winterhaven
   This room lies directly within the large Eastern gates
of Winterhaven. The gates themselves are built from a sturdy
and thick oak and have been reinforced with a cold steel
skeleton. The road that leads through the gates is in very
good condition. The obsidian pavers are immaculately cared
for, and are constantly being polished and inspected for
faults. Large banners hang from the top of the gates, flapping
gently in the cool breeze.

A Large Intersection at Merchant's Way
   This is the main road of travel in to and out of the the city. Thousands of
people traverse this massive causeway on a daily basis. The ground is paved
in massive ten foot slabs of exotic white granite. A thin median neatly parts
the roads in two halves. The median is blanketed with plants of lavender and
mint, filling the air with sweet smells that soothe the nerves and encourage
a hungry stomach. Dozens of vendors have taken the opportunity to offer a
variety of smoked and cured meats and cheeses as an quick snack for the busy
merchants hurrying towards the Celestial Bazaar towards the West. To the East,
you see lush green pastures and rolling hills just beyond the city gates.

The Grand Intersection of Merchant's Way and the Prancing Fawn
   This intersection sits squarely at the heart of this great city, and with
good reason. The main avenues of travel, the Prancing Fawn and Merchant's
Way, collide into this square with a flurry of activity. These two massive
roads are eased into one another through the use of an extremely large
roundabout. The traffic of thousands of visitors and citizens flows in a
circle, delivering produce and goods from far away lands to the hands of
shopkeepers and their customers in the city's fabled Celestial Bazaar. A
massive statue of flowing blue-green water stands at the center, suspended
in its current shape by the magical chants of numerous white-clad Monks.
To the East, North and South, the massives roads lead to the city's main
gates. To the West, the enormous Celestial Bazaar makes a grand appearance.

The Celestial Bazaar
   This Bazaar is the largest gathering place for the inhabitants of Duris
in the known world. Hundreds of people crowd the streets, offering their goods
and services to passersby. The ground is paved in cobblestones of alternating
black and white colors. The Bazaar itself is more than one thousand feet wide,
with an elegant statue or fountain no more than a hundred feet apart. Towards
the center of the Bazaar you can see what has to be the largest fountain ever
created, sending the occasional blast of water hundreds of feet into the air.
Close to the fountain, you see an enormous guillotine, stained with recently
spilled blood. One can only imagine how strict the Justice of this city need
be to control so many inhabitants. On the Western side of the Bazaar, is the
the famous Bronze Griffon Inn and Tavern. To the East, you can see the city
square and the roads that take explorers on adventures throughout these lands.

The Fountain of the Celestial Bazaar
   A magnificent fountain of both size and granduer dominates this central
point within a rather improptu glade set within the center of the city.  Lush
plants grow with a strange vigor, as if the area were enchanted somehow.  The
throngs of people that pass through the bazaar stop to meditate and relax
within the confines of the park-like glade. Shops selling every type of
equipment, adventurer's tool and magical items can be seen all around the bazaar,
providing goods and services for the collected people's of the surface world.
As this is a gathering spot for many citizen's of the world, it is not unusual
to see groups of adventurer's meeting up and leaving from this heralded location.
Benevolent spellcasters often pass through the area looking to bestow some
small amount of power upon the average citizen, wishing them good luck as they
move along upon their chosen path.  The rather dubiously named Bronze Griffon
Inn and Tavern lies not far to the west of this location.
A soothing aura fills the area.

   This Bazaar is the largest gathering place for the inhabitants of Duris
in the known world. Hundreds of people crowd the streets, offering their goods
and services to passersby. The ground is paved in cobblestones of alternating
black and white colors. The Bazaar itself is more than one thousand feet wide,
with an elegant statue or fountain no more than a hundred feet apart. Towards
the center of the Bazaar you can see what has to be the largest fountain ever
created, sending the occasional blast of water hundreds of feet into the air.
Close to the fountain, you see an enormous guillotine, stained with recently
spilled blood. One can only imagine how strict the Justice of this city need
be to control so many inhabitants. On the Western side of the Bazaar, is the
the famous Bronze Griffon Inn and Tavern. To the East, you can see the city
square and the roads that take explorers on adventures throughout these lands.

The Grand Intersection of Merchant's Way and the Prancing Fawn
   This intersection sits squarely at the heart of this great city, and with
good reason. The main avenues of travel, the Prancing Fawn and Merchant's
Way, collide into this square with a flurry of activity. These two massive
roads are eased into one another through the use of an extremely large
roundabout. The traffic of thousands of visitors and citizens flows in a
circle, delivering produce and goods from far away lands to the hands of
shopkeepers and their customers in the city's fabled Celestial Bazaar. A
massive statue of flowing blue-green water stands at the center, suspended
in its current shape by the magical chants of numerous white-clad Monks.
To the East, North and South, the massives roads lead to the city's main
gates. To the West, the enormous Celestial Bazaar makes a grand appearance.

Along Merchant's Way
   This is the main road of travel in to and out of the the city. Thousands of
people traverse this massive causeway on a daily basis. The ground is paved
in massive ten foot slabs of exotic white granite. A thin median neatly parts
the roads in two halves. The median is blanketed with plants of lavender and
mint, filling the air with sweet smells that soothe the nerves and encourage
a hungry stomach. Dozens of vendors have taken the opportunity to offer a
variety of smoked and cured meats and cheeses as an quick snack for the busy
merchants hurrying towards the Celestial Bazaar towards the West. To the East,
you see lush green pastures and rolling hills just beyond the city gates.
