Western Al Abbas
  In the shadow of the Sultan's Grand Palace, the cultivated lawns to 
the north of the road serve as a bold contrast to the pale stone road 
beneath you.  To the south regal buildings housing the nobles, 

diplomats
and heads of state emerge from well-groomed gardens with delicate 

fountains
and shaded gazeboes.  Well-armed guards keep the street traffic from 

passing
through the iron fences that separate the merchants and travelers 

from the
life of pomp and wealth.

The Northwestern Market Square
  This corner of the market is crowded with some of the more well-to

-do
folk of the city: merchants and craftsmen, travelers and sailing 

captains
that are securing their treasures in the bank vaults that lie to the 

north
within a building of tremendous carved stone blocks.  Barkers and 

gypsies
swarm towards these folk but are repelled by the Sultan's guards, who 

would
much rather see that gold end up safely within the city's clutches.  

To the
east the market continues, to the west lies Western Al Abbas Street.

the
fountain to the south, refusing to give way to the surge of 

merchants,
sailors, and mercenaries that bring a wealth of gold and treasures to 

the
Sultan's city.  To the north a wide road leads up towards the city's

Western Al Abbas
  In the shadow of the Sultan's Grand Palace, the cultivated lawns to 
the north of the road serve as a bold contrast to the pale stone road 
beneath you.  To the south regal buildings housing the nobles,

and shaded gazeboes.  Well-armed guards keep the street traffic from 

passing

The Breaching of the Walls of the Ostalagiah Ruins
  You climb atop the pile of rubble and ash which once stood as the
western wall of Ostalagiah.  It served its purpose well, but not well 
enough.  It now stands in ruins, smoldering remains of what was once 

a
mighty city.  After many years of war the united fronts finally 

destroyed
the wall, through which a flood of dwarven, elven and human soldiers 

came. 
After freeing the slaves, ransacking the city and turning the walls 

to
rubble, the united front turned around and headed back to their 

respective
homelands to the north.  While that ancient war is over, the sight of 
distant burning fires and a village settled to the west of here gives 

one
reason to believe that it is not the only war that occurs throughout 

these
ruined buildings.

Before a Fortified Hillock
  A large mound of earth has been pushed up here, forming a 

strategically
planned barrier to the village just beyond. Behind the earthen 

barricade
stand the gates -- heavy, massive, fortified iron gates that glow 

eerily
in the reflected torch-light -- and beyond them in the darkness you 

can
just make out the faces of the village huts. The village, like the 

gate,
is dark and forbidding from this distance, softened not at all by the
occasionally glimpsed lantern or fire. A chill breeze blows from the 

gates
to the west, bringing with it the gruff sound of barbaric voices and 

an
occasional burst of raucous, drunken laughter.
