entering and leaving the village.  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

  This place is much more packed then you would have expected from seeing
the size of the rest of the village.  You see local farmers and artisans 
bartering with each other much as you would expect.  Here, too, are
merchants from all across Thera, of almost every race and origin 
imaginable.  Opposing forces coexist peacefully here, for the moment at
least; age-old enemies combat each other with words and prices rather then
blades and magic in this place.

*OH NOES, needless deaths.  Can't help it, that's Gulkra. I'm not going to stop being Gulkra just because
it makes me die or lose con. Easy philosophy "Hit things hard. If you lose, hit it again. If losing continues, hit it harder
until eventually you win".**
**Walking back to the corpse, Lerzion gets summoned to the stables and ganked, just like Gulkra was**

**Empire heads off to raid fort, we get some more Ragers in, and retrieve. I flee a moment too late and scan south to see tons
of centurions added with the normal Empire army. I know there's no way out of this one so...BLOODTHIRST!**

<0hp 0m 0mv 21067tnl (-20.38%)> The Imperial Road
  You stand on a perfectly engineered road as far as you can see to 
the north and south.  Fields of crops dot the hillsides as you 
travel past.  The farms here seem to be well maintained and the 
few people you do see are hard at work tending their crops or 
preparing for the next day.  Far to the west you can make out 
the greenery of a forest or woodlands. Far to the north you see 
a line of snow covered mountains, to the south the road leads 
through the rolling hills.
