   This is a pleasant place. Tinkerers are a traveling group of people that
travel to many distant lands and see many different creatures. If anyone in
this entire city could answer a question concerning other places or things,
they could. The desert seems to amplify in intensity to the northeast,
becoming an open dune. It seems the tinkerers have setup camp outside this
dune, for what reason? Maybe they are deciding whether they wish to traverse
this great dune toward the infamous mountains of pain. The mountains of pain
is a twin of the mountain of peril, both great mountains with completely
different atmospheres, however, they both bear the names synonymous with
evil intent or death. A large caravan has beem setup around a circle of
caravans, it is a shoppe, a shoppe of a tinkerer, which is bound to be worth
visiting. There is an old saying, 'Shop till'ya drop'.

A Desert Dune
   The sun beats down from the sky above during the daytime hours. It's
simply madness to try to cross these dunes when the sun is up. The desert
heat could kill a man as sure as a soldier brandishing a sword. Only during
the night time could some large party traverse this desert. There aren't many
animals that could sustain themselves within these dunes, for there is little
water and food. A few of the smaller rodents have no trouble finding food.
However, larger reptiles and animals prey upon them. The winding dunes seem
to stretch a great distance, which disheartens anyone trying to cross it.

A Narrow Cobblestone Road
   Cobblestones make up this road. The Sultan made this road out of this
easily obtainable stone because it's easy to maintain and it's very cheap.
Caravans and travelers can walk a little more easily then if the Sultan had
not thrown this cobblestone onto the desert. These stone allow for simple and
easy travelling. There are tents on either side of the narrow road. Nomads have
set up their tents in one of the most vacant parts of the city, and appreciate
their solitude more than most, they simply do not want to be disturbed. The
night air is especially cold in this region of the city, for it is the lowest
part. The cold night air settles all too readily here, the situation of the
cliffs sees to that. There are no posts, there are no lanterns, so the night
must be real dark, with only the moonlight to keep one company.

Before the Gates of House Lo'Ushuur
   Two huge rusted iron gates are here. They are the entrance to the house of
Lo'Ushuur, the most powerful house within the desert city. It is controlled
by the powerful count Vernadad Lo'Ushuur. Vernadad isn't a native of this
land, it is rumored that he came from lands to the east, with a much
different climate, however, in all climates money stays the same. It is said
that his family had vast sums of money. Just how they earned there money is
left open for iterpretation. Vernadad came to this city some years ago and
built a powerful house, a house powerful enough to overthrow the sultan some
say. Vernadad's resources extend great distances and his influence can be
felt all through the city.

A Lightly Pebbled Gravel Road
   This lightly pebbled road cuts along the northern cliff of the desert city,
winding its way along the cold stone like a vicious desert snake. Sand blows
in small patches along the walkway, but most is kept from the city by the
walls and special barricades that line its perimeter. Squat huts and clay
houses of a varying size have been built along the road, taking up every
available space and leaving little room for alleys and yards. The occasional
hardy shrub grows up from the dry ground, but for the most part this region
is barren of plant and animal life. Only the tiniest pebble stirs here, as the
wind gently blows it along the winding desert city tracks. During the daytime,
this is the most blistering part of the city, and during the night it could be
mistaken for a barren wasteland, truly the most vacant section of the city.

Near an Oasis
   This desert city has one great weakness, despite the Sultan's greatest
efforts to strengthen his city, water. Living in a desert habitat makes one
watch what he wastes. The desert surrounds the city structures in this area,
and this is one of the most heavily populated areas of the city. One reason
for this being, an oasis lays nearby. This oasis isn't the major source of
water for the city, however, whomever has enough money can allocate a spot to
supply himself with water from this oasis. One cannot freely walk up to this
precious supplier of water undaunted, for there are guards to protect it's
overuse. The sultan has been known on occasion to post bounties on those who
steal his precious water, without paying. The stones that make up the wrong
are packed into the desert sand. During the night, travelers need light,
therefore, the sultan built an array of poles about twenty feet apart, each
with a lantern on top.

An Oasis
   The fresh water looks inviting. Thousands of gallons of fresh drinking
water sits softly in the sun for all who can afford it. The Sultan has a huge
supply problem, the intake of water into the city is far less than the
consumption. If the sultan is to maintain a prosperous city, he is going to
have to buy water from outside sources, very expensive. If there were someway
for him to buy water very cheap, he'd do it, otherwise he'll exhaust other
methods first. Nothing is impossible for a sultan, for sultans are the owners
of the land, and accumulate vast wealth from those living on it. The hot
desert heat scorches the flesh during the day, and it is best only to expose
oneself to it briefly. Desert nomads who wander into the city often do so
during the night, for traveling in the desert is only possible by it. A few
palm trees encircle the oasis, stripped bear by camels. This oasis is also
relaxing. Resting here would be a great idea if one was tired or wounded.
A soothing aura fills the area.

Before the Sultan's Palace
   Above, guards can be seen pacing about the parapets, watching and trying to
stay alert. The walls are made of wood and brick, it would set ablaze easily
if a well placed torch found its way to it. But the marksmanship of the elite
patrols are unmatched, hitting a bull's eye from a hundred yards out wouldn't
trouble them. The road takes a turn to the right, obviously, toward the highly
valued Oasis of the city. It has none of the problems the slums face, however,
the walls aren't crumbling, no refuse of any type is visible among the street.
Ladders lead toward the parapets above. The ladders are placed on either side
of the castle gate, which is just to the west. A portion of the walls are left
open to the sun, allowing the guards a good view of incoming visitors, and
would allow a strict advantage point if the gate happened to fall, they would
have a staggering amount of weapons at their disposal to vanquish the enemy.

The Soldiers' Barracks
   A set of iron door leads into the massive building which houses half of
castle's royal guard. The gray stone floor is perfectly clean, most likely
scrubbed clean daily by the rigid soldiers going under training within these
halls. Tapestries decorate the wall, some displaying acts of great courage in
all of the sultan's most grand of military operations. The art was obviously
commissioned by skilled craftsmen, with details going down to the facial
expressions of the soldiers as they throw themselves against the enemy in a
countless assortment of battle scenes. These barracks have seen better days,
it's obvious that those who live here care not whether they sleep in a bottle
of filth or in satin. There are no windows, so only a handful of lanterns must
keep this barracks lit during the night and during the day.

Before the Sultan's Palace
   Above, guards can be seen pacing about the parapets, watching and trying to
stay alert. The walls are made of wood and brick, it would set ablaze easily
if a well placed torch found its way to it. But the marksmanship of the elite
patrols are unmatched, hitting a bull's eye from a hundred yards out wouldn't
trouble them. The road takes a turn to the right, obviously, toward the highly
valued Oasis of the city. It has none of the problems the slums face, however,
the walls aren't crumbling, no refuse of any type is visible among the street.
Ladders lead toward the parapets above. The ladders are placed on either side
of the castle gate, which is just to the west. A portion of the walls are left
open to the sun, allowing the guards a good view of incoming visitors, and
would allow a strict advantage point if the gate happened to fall, they would
have a staggering amount of weapons at their disposal to vanquish the enemy.
Boiling grease among them, the grease could cover the entire area, burning
flesh and disintegrating armor.

The Soldiers' Barracks
   A set of iron door leads into the massive building which houses half of
castle's royal guard. The gray stone floor is perfectly clean, most likely
scrubbed clean daily by the rigid soldiers going under training within these
halls. Tapestries decorate the wall, some displaying acts of great courage in
all of the sultan's most grand of military operations. The art was obviously
commissioned by skilled craftsmen, with details going down to the facial
expressions of the soldiers as they throw themselves against the enemy in a
countless assortment of battle scenes. These barracks have seen better days,
it's obvious that those who live here care not whether they sleep in a bottle
of filth or in satin. There are no windows, so only a handful of lanterns must
keep this barracks lit during the night and during the day.

An Oasis
   The fresh water looks inviting. Thousands of gallons of fresh drinking
water sits softly in the sun for all who can afford it. The Sultan has a huge
supply problem, the intake of water into the city is far less than the
consumption. If the sultan is to maintain a prosperous city, he is going to
have to buy water from outside sources, very expensive. If there were someway
for him to buy water very cheap, he'd do it, otherwise he'll exhaust other
methods first. Nothing is impossible for a sultan, for sultans are the owners
of the land, and accumulate vast wealth from those living on it. The hot
desert heat scorches the flesh during the day, and it is best only to expose
oneself to it briefly. Desert nomads who wander into the city often do so
during the night, for traveling in the desert is only possible by it. A few
palm trees encircle the oasis, stripped bear by camels. This oasis is also
relaxing. Resting here would be a great idea if one was tired or wounded.
A soothing aura fills the area.

A Castle Courtyard
   A cobblestone path leads off from the street to the northeast, coming across
a barricade of tall iron fencing. Shaped like barbed spears, each post is
razor sharp, and could easily cut anyone who brushed against their edges in the
wrong fashion. The fence opens up onto a circular courtyard, complete with
thick emerald foliage and an array of flowering plants. Two marble griffons
guard the cobblestone path, as it cuts through the lush courtyard and leads up
towards the castle's main doubled iron-clad doors. The castle itself is quite
elegant, crafted from thick stone blocks in a picture of a rose. Ivy clings
its way up the sides, covering up most of the glass windows.

A Palace Foyer
   This gigantic welcoming chamber is suited for grand entrances. The wide
arch of the double doors to the north is wide enough to fit ten men abreast,
and taller than five men combined. The intricate designs on the masonry is
also a wonder, who could have carved such beautiful figurines in such strong
stone? Perhaps, by magic, or by dwarven hands was part of this castle built
with. The cold speckled marble tiles cast reflections easily, and are often
polished as much as six times a day. The ceiling above casts a great
reflection on the floor, with its many murals and paintings facing down,
looming overhead. The whitewashed walls are smooth to the touch. A grand
staircase opens up to the west, while hallways run west and south.
