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

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

twenty feet above you. A single large gate breaks the solid expanse of

the wall. This is the well-known entrance to the slums, where few

dare travel as it has been overridden with thugs and creatures of all

types for some time. Even the city guard does not pass through these

gates often, their main duty being to guard the inner city.
