    <description>The massive gates of the city of Shard rise up to the north.  The twin doors of steel-braced ironwood give access to the North Bridge across the Lake of Tears.  Somber guards watch on the battlements above.</description>

    <description>Shops and homes rise up on either side of the street, most locked up for the evening.  Cool, glassy cobblestones bubble up along the surface, glinting and reflecting darkly.  In the distance, toward the nexus of the city, a single silver tower blots out the stars, touched to a dull glow by the velvet glove of night.</description>

Elothean children race by, canvas bags filled with books and papers banging against their backs.  In the distance, toward the nexus of the city, the top of a glittering tower of silver brushes up against the clouds.</description>

A glinting flash of water beyond the street on either side catches the reflection of the buildings and two bridges rising gracefully up to the east and west, molded entirely of polished crystal.  The solid structure of the Silver Eye Inn sits scant feet from the eastern bridge, its signboard swinging in a quiet breeze.</description>

The glint of the stars overhead is watered down by the light shed by a tall post that flows up out of the street, the glowing sapphire stone caught in its grasp enough to make it compare to a lesser Xibar.</description>
    <description>The whisper of running water echoes down the street through the curtain of sound created by the push of the crowds and the call of hawkers.  A tall post mounted with a glowing sapphire stone flows up out of the ground beside a supplies shop, the faintest nimbus of light streaming down from it to pool in a blue shadow on the street.</description>

The faint traces of the mark of Elven and Elothean architecture can still be detected by the discriminating eye, the carefully painted vines, flowers, and birds that cover the front and sides of the homes chasing each other as if trying to catch up with something -- or get away from another.</description>
    <description>Charming buildings constructed of seasoned wood painted in shades of white, blue, or beige line the street on either side, some three stories and roofed with silverwood shingles, some squat and flat.

    <description>The imposing presence of a two-story building crouches like a shadowy beast by the side of the street.  The glow of candlelight flickers from the open windows, peering out with feral brilliance.  A banner of grey silk hangs over the doorway, the darkness obscuring its purpose.  Faintly, the drone of chanting or prayer echoes out from an arched window on the top center story.</description>
    <description>The imposing presence of a two-story building dominates the east side of the street.  Built of dark grey, sanded but unpainted wood and topped with a steepled roof supported by two thick beams of uncarved black deobar that look more like trunks than finished pieces of wood, a banner of grey silk snaps over the doorway, the image of a steel dove sewn boldly into it.  The sounds of grunting and the clash of steel echo from what open windows there are to mingle with the bustle of the city.</description>

The street changes as it flows from north to south, its color shifting from bottle green to a dark, lapis blue.  A gate of ebony and steel to the south divides the upper city from the lower, a tangible boundary between castes.</description>

    <description>The homes of the privileged of Shard are muted down to sober grays and blacks, their crystal windows dimmed and their gardens the color of dust.  The chuckle of a fountain splashing on through the night ripples through the streets, and the occasional reflection of candlelight glances over the road's dark blue stones.  A gate of ivory and brass divides the street to the north, its construction not daunting enough to keep the shadows at bay.</description>
    <description>A splash of green from flourishing gardens and the glint of light off crystal windows offers a tantalizing view of the homes of the privileged of Shard.  Houses alternately built with the Elven mind for arches and spindly, steeple-like points take up residence with the Elothean touch of round buildings with faceted domes.  Groups of citizens trod down the lapis-hued street, entering or exiting to the north via an ivory and brass gate that divides the inner city from its outer, more common sister.</description>

An inn built of seasoned wood is the only shop still open here, its windows and doorway bright with the glow of firelight and inviting the attention of those whose work does not end with the loss of sunlight.  A side street leads off into the stableyard of the inn, where the whinnying of horses can be heard.</description>
    <description>Ruby Street cuts through the heart of the only section of Shard that survived the wars with the Dragon Priests, a fact that is readily apparent in the antique appearance of most of the shops here.  One inn built of seasoned wood seems to be the main attraction of this section of the lane, a cherrywood sign painted with a black rose hanging over the door.  Young children of the streetrat persuasion scamper past as they run out of or into a side street that leads to the inn's stableyard.</description>

    <description>Flames from smoky torches mounted on the city's walls flutter in a lakeside breeze and throw a fitful light over the ground, casting shadows on the Eastern Gate.  The shadowy outline of the Tower of Brickwell rises up to the north, the faint sound of snapping cloth coming from the Keep's direction.</description>
    <description>The Eastern Gate is the second most active entrance for the thriving trade of Shard.  The looming presence of the Tower of Brickwell dominates the view to the north, a multitude of pennants emblazoned with the arms of many kingdoms, baronies, and other sovereign states flying from its battlements and marking it indelibly as the staging grounds for the Shard Trader's Guild.</description>

    <description>The promise of thriving life that otherwise lingers in the rest of the city has died here.  Crumbling homes that can no longer support families, businesses that cannot stave off petty thieves or entice customers, and the shells of buildings have been left to rot along the street.  To the northwest, the grandiose beauty of the Great Tower seems to overshadow and demoralize what little dignity the residents here hope to cling to.</description>

    <description>A small shop adorned with hanging baskets outside its door is the only remarkable landmark on the street.  A cold breeze, sweeping up off the lake, clamps chilly fingers around everything with a viselike grip that is only shaken with plenty of coats and blankets.</description>
    <description>A row of Elven women sit outside a small shop, reeds and strips of willow lying across their laps as they work to make baskets and mats.  One small girl sits nearby, watching as her mother works and learning the family's craft through silent observation.  The smells of the city -- a complex mixture of baking bread, yak dung, sweat, and green trees -- weave in and around anything and everything, racing over the people and the structures on a spirited lakeside breeze.</description>

    <description>The street is almost depressingly empty with the onset of night.  From time to time a cloaked and anxious-looking peasant scurries by, exposing themselves only briefly to the darkness before heading into the safety of a home or other establishment.</description>
    <description>A lively and steady stream of civilians, traders, and heroes heading for the hunt passes through the street.  Some chatter incessantly with a seemingly perpetual abundance of energy, while others move quietly -- almost undetected.  Vendors attempt to attract the attention of the richer ones, their voices barking dry and loud through the air.</description>

    <description>Warm and fresh smelling, the conservatory is a mass of thriving foliage.  Among the many trees collected here are shining copperleaf, languid birch and graceful rowan, their branches arching overhead to shade the gravel walkway while brilliant firethorn bush and lush stands of enormous fern grow nearer to the ground.  Exotic flowering plants flourish next to hardier native species in a harmonious whole, their scents mingling in an exhilarating blend of spice, sweet and astringently herbal aromas.</description>

    <description>Hushed and silent save for the constant music of trickling water, the stillness of the night wraps this garden in peace.  Faint starlight through the glass reflects in the dark waters of the pool, lending a silvery sheen to the quivering surface and gleaming on the closed buds of the water lilies.  The trailing branches of the willows rustle softly, sheltering the iris and golden flag beneath its leaves.</description>
    <description>Serene and refreshing, this room is a refuge for those seeking a calm retreat.  The melodic trickle of water over stone provides a soothing background music broken by an occasional splash as one of the goldfish in the shallow pool leaps in a shining arc.  Deep blue iris, tall rushes, narcissus and golden flag are reflected in the shifting waters, and starry white water lilies cover the surface.  Slender willows bend to trail long branches in the pool and over the mossy rock.</description>

The only partially clear space is the surface of the desk in the center of the room and the heavy oak armchair drawn up behind it.</description>

It can't be denied that these noises are often accompanied by an odd odor, but the location of these apartments is prime, and the tenants seem to take such events in stride.  The hall is at least well lit, with a large window at the street end.</description>

The sweet scent of honeysuckle is complimented by the sharper aroma of sandalwood to wreathe the air with the memory of pressed flowers and woods.  The padded backs and seats of the benches offer respite for those who have found the journey of life a wearying one.</description>

Behind the bar are rows of glasses, bottles and decanters stacked on shelves within easy reach of the bartender.  Tables dot the room, ample space is left between them to allow for privacy.  A young couple dances as a bard sitting on a small platform plucks a spritely tune from his mandolin.</description>
    <description>Faint whispers and the sound of clinking glasses circulate through the room.  The bartender gazes impassively at each person entering, allowing a slight smile for repeat customers and a nod for new faces.  The dim candlelight from the center of each table casts a soft glow, making this a favorite place for couples looking for a romantic spot for a nightcap before retiring for the evening.  A bard sits on a small platform coaxing a slow, sultry melody from his lute.</description>

A shipping clerk is huddled at a desk piled with a mountain of invoices, trying to keep warm as all the heat from the room is sucked out of the opening between the doors.</description>

    <description>The grand entrance hall of the Trader's Guild is tastefully decorated in silk rugs and tapestries created by the finest Elven weavers in the province.  Twin columns, carved with images of sailing ships riding the crest of a wave, rise from the marble tiled floor.  A white marble staircase which leads to the upper levels of the tower is hung with the standards of trading companies based in the city of Shard.</description>

    <description>Massive wrought-iron gates mark the only break in the walls of polished marble that enclose this meticulously manicured compound.  Statuesque tiger lilies rise in neat rows from mounds of grey-green foliage to either side of the slate walkway.  Silk pennants line the path, each lit by its own gaethzen orb.  To the northeast, two large stone towers flank a series of small gardens.</description>

    <description>Standing astride platforms of charcoal basalt, a row of solemn bronze statues rings this circular garden.  White chrysanthemums cascade from large stone urns between the figures, and a formal planting in the center of the area pairs irises with a solitary gnarled cherry tree.  To the north, a graceful lacquered footbridge leads across a crescent-shaped pool while an archway leads into the eastern tower.</description>

A hearth, large enough to roast an entire steer, graces the middle of the western wall.  Flanking it on both sides are massive iron stoves.  Chattering cooks and errand boys weave a complex dance around the many cabinets filled with foodstuffs and racks of wine.</description>

The pattern is accented by the tiny, almost translucent, white flowers that grow between each square.  Pale morning glories cling to the balustrade of polished marble that encloses the area.  At its center rises an obelisk surrounded by delicate, pearlescent orchids.</description>
