This is a cobblestoned street. It is dimly lit by guttering lanterns

hung from tall posts. The city wall is to the north, towering over

twenty feet above you. River street is fairly quiet, but is well-used

as it intersects many main streets. You can hear an unsettling

groaning noise coming from the west, and you can see a freely swinging

gate off in that direction. River street continues to the east and

west.
