The Ogre's Foot Inn
A large counter sits nestled against the east wall here, accompanied by a
huge rack behind it. It appears that this is where tired and worn out
adventurers can come to get a good nights rest before continuing on the next
day. A spiral oak staircase leads downwards to the inn's lounge, where most
of the city's warriors wait for work. Attached to the front of the counter is
a large sign.

The Ogre's Foot Lounge
One-hundred feet square, this lounge makes up the lower floor of the Ogre's
Foot Inn. A slatestone hearth is built into the east wall, to warm the inn on
those frigid nights associated with the northern climates. Four plush leather
couches encircle the fireplace, creating an area where patrons and adventurers
gather to share tales and ale. A small bar runs along the southern wall,
around which some warriors wait looking for work. At the room's center, an
ornate oak staircase spirals in through the ceiling, its wooden steps leading
to the inn upstairs.

The Great Fountain of Tharnadia
An immense fountain, thirty feet in diameter, rests here in a large plaza
near the center of the city of Tharnadia. The fountains pristine waters are
quite inviting, crystal clear and about two feet deep. You can see some grey
fish swimming lazily about the fountain's bottom. The Great Tharnadian Way
runs west of here, while to the east it intersects with Keats street. A tall
two story building rises to the south of here, its sides made of adobe and
wood. An oak shingle in the shape of a foot hangs from its front, proclaiming
the structure as the Ogre's Foot Inn. From here, you can see the high city
walls in all directions off in the distance. There is a large plaque fastened
to one edge of the fountain here with some lines of text printed on it.

The Tharnadia-Keats Intersection
This T intersection connects the Grand Tharnadian Way with Keats street,
forming a small plaza. The crimson cobblestone's of of Tharnadian intermingle
with the sable stones of Keats in an elaborate pattern, forming the city's
sigil. Keats street continues its march north and south, while the Grand
Tharnadian Way heads off to the fountain west of here. To the east lies
the Tharnadian combat arena.

Keats Street
A major road only by convenience, Keats street biscects the city from north
to south. Originally its sable cobblestones were meant to serve as a patrol
path for the city guard. As the cities construction neared its end, Lord
Kaynor revised building plans to extend the city farther to the east. This
is the reason none of the buildings exit onto this street. In the years since
it has been repaved with onyx stones replacing the original sienna-hued cobble
that composed this avenue. The road continues south, while to the north lies
the Tharnadia-Keats intersection.

The Great Bazaar
This huge wide open area, probably five hundred feet square, serves as the
focal point of Tharnadia's trade with the surrounding lands. Laid out in a
giant L and paved with cobblestones, this place easily hold two to three
thousand people at any given time during the trading season. Here merchants
of all kinds could set up temporary shops, or sell out of their carts, the
many goods that flow in and out of the great city. Through an arch to the
west, Keats street can be seen making its north to south bisection of the
city. The bazaar continues to the north, east, and south of here.

The Grand Tharnadian Way
This broad avenue runs through the center of Tharnadia, continuing to the
east of here. There are onyx menhirs standing every five feet along the side
of the road, silent sentinels on its journey through the city. Small crimson
cobblestones make up the roadway, each fitted to its neighbor through a tongue
and groove system. The street looks highly traveled, with buildings flanking
the road as far off as the eye can see. To the west of here, the Great Bazaar,
where visiting merchants peddle their goods, opens up.

Inside the Eastern City Gates
Two huge ironbound gates guard the eastern entrance to Tharnadia here,
standing nearly twenty feet tall. The gates are fastened to huge stone towers
on either side, making this entrance seem very secure and protected. A system
of ropes and pulleys hold the door up, reducing its weight and making it
easily opened and closed by a single operator. The Great Tharnadian Way leads
away to the west into the heart of the city, while the gateway exits out into
a vast grassy plains with mountains in the distance. The wall road leads to
the north and to the south.

city seems quite well protected behind this great display of defensive might,
with arrow slits and defensive measures lining the towers. The city walls

city up to the large cliffs upon which the twin keeps are built. A dirt road

city, and should do so only when they feel confident. A tall sign points in
