  The gray stones are varied in size and shape, but fit together perfectly to

the western edge, where the blocks are replaced by hard dirt as the path leads
into the Market Square.  The powerful smell of soot and the clangs of hammer
against metal rise from the south while a small fruit stand can be seen along
the northern edge of the road.  There is a high concentration of people this

Before you is a crouching feline figure, standing at around five feet in
height. A greasy coat of sleek black fur covers his predatory physique, and
is only marred by the occasional scarred patch of skin. He has a stoic and
jagged face, with two narrowed yellow eyes that give you a stern stare. His
long razor claws flex instinctively around the wooden shaft of his spear, and
his long, lanky tail lazily sways to and fro above the ground. His black,
lightweight armor makes his movements both quiet and unseen as he moves in
and out of the shadows.

Over all, you see that
Sote, a male felar, is in perfect health.
