This rancid alleyway is claustrophobic and unsettling. Trash is ankle-

deep on the ground, and occasionally something squishy and wet can be

felt underfoot. Bloodstains are frequent on the crumbling walls,

adding a certain je-ne-sais-quoi to this fine place. The tall stone

barrier surrounding the city stands to the west, and the dark

backside of a building is to the east. The alley stops in a gloomy

dead-end here, filled with piles of debris and refuse.
