desk is here along with two sofas and a coffee table covered in magazines.
The plush carpeting under your feet is a nice change from the rugged paths

The Dancing Daemon Inn~
A huge circling wet-bar takes up most of the east end of the Daemon. An
old mage reclines against the mirror behind the bar absentmindedly pouring
several drinks at once with his refined telekinesis. The Lokettes, a local
band, are playing their usual gig on the stage. The large booths along the
all are filled with people drinking and having a grand time. You feel like
partying here.
The only obvious exit is to the north.

as you gaze into this corner of the market. The vegetable stand seems
quiet enough so you have to assume the noise comes from the Butchery.
You have to think for a while before you muster the will to enter this
shop. The market continues to the south and west.

Walking along the cobblestone path you feel secure with the walls of
the city towering over you. You hear the scraping sounds of metal on
stone and look up to see a large, strong guard looking out to the north.
To the east lies the intersection on Guildsman's Row and the northern
gate is a short walk to the west.

This is the room where the Sultan keeps the beautiful women of his
Palace. There are ten girls here lying about the room dressed in silks
you can almost see through. In the western end of the room stands a
large mound of pillows and a beautiful young maiden sits perched atop.
It is unfortunate for you that only the Sultan is allowed in here.

The Headwaters Of The Dark River~
A large natural spring issues forth from the heart of the mountain
and flows west down the mountain. It looks like there was a terrible
earthquake here not too long ago, and a path that leads eastwards
through the mountains is covered with rocks, making passage difficult.

On A Small Ledge~
You clamber out of the water up onto this narrow ledge to see if
it leads deeper into the mountain. Unfortunately, the ledge is only
wide enough to rest upon for a while and there does not appear to be
any other exits other than rejoining the underground river.

Sea cannot be far away. To the east you can see the faint outline

The River Delta~
This is where the river empties out into the Dragon Sea. The backrush
of water has kicked up a lot of sand and the blue sea is stained where
the river empties. Looking west all you can see is water... all the way
to the horizon. North of here is a small dock you think you should be
able to reach with out too much trouble. The river stretches off to the
west back towards New Thalos.

On A Road~
The people of New Thalos take great pride in the services their
city may provide. One of these services is the construction crews
the go to great lengths to keep all the roads in order. Although
the taxes in New Thalos are higher then other cities in the realm
most of the money is used for the good of the people.

You walk along a well used road with beautiful scenery. To the north
tall pine trees form a wall that goes on for miles. Between the road
and the trees lies a great expanse of grassy plains. South of here,
beyond the river, lies the Great Eastern Desert. The road continues
east and west.

time but is still sturdy. A small ladder has been built on the eastern
end to allow easy access to and from ships.
