The Market
   Many booths and stands surround you, filled with fruits, vegetables,
breads, pastries, and other fine foods.  Vendors walk about shouting out
or showing off their wares.  Sailors and merchants push their way through
busily, while town folk and travellers sort through the market, looking
for something to buy.  Although there is much bustle in the market and the
city in general, a strange sense of uneasiness can be felt.  On closer
inspection, things simply look amiss, especially for one who traveled
through Torrhan only a year ago.  Many of the stands are now empty and
falling apart, the buildings have begun to look unkept and dirty or simply
abandoned.  This same market was once used to catering to triple the number
of merchants, sailors, and visitors.  The great towers of the palace are
visible to the north and the market square lies southwest.

A Smooth Pathway
   The noise and bustle of the city can already be heard from here, the
great, massive gates lie just north, entering onto the great market. Tall
buildings and towers have been erected, visible even when the city gates
are closed - a rare occasion, as all are welcome in this merchant city.
Far ahead, the great towers of the palace can be seen, its tall towers
extending towards the sky.  The gates are north, while the path away from
the city continue south.

The Massive Gates Before The City of Torrhan
   The noise and bustle of the city can already be heard from here, even
when the massive, iron gates are closed.  Tall buildings and towers are
visible over the stone walls and the smell of freshly baked bread and
fresh fruits wafts through here.  Far ahead the great palace of the King
are visible, its tall towers extending towards the sky.  Despite the
greatness of this city, an unsual, uneasy feeling can be felt here, as if
something has been lost here.  The massive gates lead into the main market
of Torrhan, while a smooth stone path leads away from the city.

The Market
   Many booths and stands surround you, filled with fruits, vegetables,
breads, pastries, and other fine foods.  Vendors walk about shouting out
or showing off their wares.  Sailors and merchants push their way through
busily, while town folk and travellers sort through the market, looking
for something to buy.  Although there is much bustle in the market and the
city in general, a strange sense of uneasiness can be felt.  On closer
inspection, things simply look amiss, especially for one who traveled
through Torrhan only a year ago.  Many of the stands are now empty and
falling apart, the buildings have begun to look unkept and dirty or simply
abandoned.  This same market was once used to catering to triple the number
of merchants, sailors, and visitors.  The great towers of the palace are
visible to the north and the market square lies north, while the gates to
the city are south.
