    <description>Yells and shouts fill the surroundings as dock workers communicate in the only way that is fitting for this noisy, hectic environment.  A couple young boys watch the work anxiously, planning their future and their torment.</description>
    <description>Though night turns the sea to black and turns the majority of Rathan citizens inside, work on the dock never seems to cease entirely as workers continue to ply their trade.</description>

    <description>Wooden crates are stacked several high along the rutted road.  Ratha's busy port is the lifeblood of this community, keeping the townsfolk busy all throughout the day and night.  The warehouse district to the north is full of goods and perishables, either making their way to Ratha, or being exported to other islands in the area.</description>

    <description>Vendors of meat pies, tarts, and flavored ices stroll the crowded walk, calling out their wares in a sing-song rhythm that sticks in the memory.  Their cries blend with the splash of oars and the voice of the ocean wind to make a melody that identifies Ratha as clearly as a map or the high rock that juts from the harbor to the west.</description>
    <description>A flickering torch high on a post gives a bit of light to the walk.  A giant and misshapen shadow cast on the warehouse wall mimics the infrequent visitor to the docks at this time of night, and footsteps echo as if the shadow walked alongside.</description>

    <description>An abandoned looking warehouse is liberally stained with streaks of white, most likely the work of the several dozen gulls resting on the rooftop.  Shattered and discarded seashells litter the street in front of the warehouse, testament that the gulls find this area of the city to be the height of fine dining.  Passersby cast wary glances in the gulls' direction, hoping to avoid any sudden gifts from above.</description>

Elegantly clad men and women jostle for position among dock workers and common tradesmen in a vain attempt to speed their progress.  A trio of hawkers face off in a contest of lung power to lure in prospective clientele.  They seem blissfully unaware that they drive off far more potential business than they draw in.</description>

This would seem to be true as the rich and powerful mingle with the poor and unwashed where two busy roads intersect just south of the great lifts to the uppermost tier.  Few would gainsay that this nexus of roads comprises a cross-section of every strata of Rathan society.  Those with polished scales and jewelled tail bands predominate, but many a denizen has seen better days, with missing scutes and tattered clothing.</description>

    <description>A red and gold runner covers the dark oak floorboards of the hallway, the colors vivid against the polished wood.  The gilded frames of the paintings which hang on the whitewashed walls gleam dully in the light.  Each painting depicts a ship on which Captain Josiah Tarr had served before his unfortunate death at sea.  A trapdoor in the ceiling leads up to the widow's walk on the top of the inn.</description>

    <description>A painting of Magda Tarr, the wife of Captain Josiah Tarr, hangs above a narrow table at the southern end of the hallway.  A sour-faced Halfling woman, the painter has captured her expression perfectly, frozen in a perpetual glare at her husband's picture to the north.  Rumor has it that one of the incentives behind Captain Jack's many sea voyages was the lengthy time it gave him away from his wife.</description>

    <description>The smell of refuse and molding linen clings to the still air in this loft.  Scattered piles of composting cloth are nested about the room, giving the impression that the space was once inhabitable.  Tattered grey curtains dangle from the west side of the ceiling, ending just above a shoddy ladder leading to the living quarters down below.  The south wall of the loft has collapsed, leaving an opening to the desolate street below.  A collection of rotting wood figurines lies jumbled in a corner.</description>

    <description>A wide, sweeping stair of gleaming white alabaster carries the eye from the grandeur of the Palace grounds to the equally imposing portico.  Giant guards flank the doors, immobile as if cast from stone.  The portico itself spreads across the front of the palace offering cool shade from the heat of the day.  Several fountains spout from bronze grotesques set into the wall, their streams running down into stone basins where the traveler may quench a thirst or lave dusty feet.</description>

    <description>A walk through this shady garden can be a rewarding side trip.  Stately trees form green walls along winding gravel paths that bisect the gardens from large expanses of manicured green lawns.  At the crossroads is a white gazebo surrounded by three symmetrical reflecting pools.  Standing on a small moss covered mound, the little structure seems to blush in the sunlight.  Stepping stones create a path through the clear pools to the small marble structure.</description>

A featureless statue, somewhat feminine in nature but with a hint of masculinity, stands next to a gnarled doorway.  The feeling of death hangs in the air, but is one of a more peaceful, natural death.  The walls themselves are etched with memorials of those who have died and may be buried here.</description>

    <description>Originally a natural cavern, this chamber now serves as the center for Ratha's dominant criminal element.  Benches hewn from the walls serve the weary cutpurse.  Air vented in from the surface reeks of sewage and stagnant water.  A ladder carved into the stone of one wall leads up to a shallow niche that looks out over the whole hall.</description>

The discarded hull of a dingy has been shaped into a counter for the Dwarven attendant, where he busies himself with the task of repairing tools and tending to the stored goods on the shelves behind him.</description>
