Citizens move swiftly, with an air of purpose throughout the square.
Perfectly engineered buildings surround the square.  A giant fountain
stands in the center of the square, spewing water that changes color
from red, to clear, to black.  Statues of Emperors past line the sides
of the square.

     Water flows from a beautifully carved onyx fountain.

An Archway Entering the Imperial City 
  Large burner braziers have been erected here to light a great black stone
archway that spans the road from the eastern side to the western side.  At
the zenith of the great structure the symbol of the Imperial Codex shines in
the light of the flames.  To the north of the archway the lights of the
Imperial City spreads illuminate a deep valley.  The silhouetted spires of a
great palace glisten in the night sky to the northwest.  The road you stand
on leads to an intersection to the west, while the Imperial Road disappears
into the darkness to the south.  The mountains block any movement to the east
and a soot covered wall blocks your way to the west.

  The trail is currently empty save for a few merchants and travelers
entering and leaving the village to the south.  From your vantage point
you can see that the village is predominantly surrounded by fields of
various crops, no doubt belonging to the local farmers who come to Balator
to trade with villagers and merchants from the rest of Thera.  To the west
lies a path leading through a forest.  A small wooden sign, almost 
completely obscured by foliage, is stuck in the ground just off the path
