  99. Welcome to the world of Zalanthas.
  100.  
  101. A Roomy Barracks [N, E, W, Quit, Save]
  102. The thickness of the dull red mud bricks of which this barracks has
  103. been built provides it with a coolness which resists the worst of the
  104. Zalanthan sun. The furnishings are simple: neatly ordered cots sit in rows,
  105. a few with footlockers built into one end, while a large weapons rack hangs
  106. on the wall underneath a wooden frieze depicting the desert, gith, jozhals
  107. and scrabs moving through the dunes. Below the frieze, extending down the
  108. walls and covering the floor, are ceramic tiles composed of all the hues of
  109. the desert: vermilion, bronze, amber, rust, tawny yellow, and ochre. The
  110. tiles are laid in an abstract, undulating pattern reminiscent of rolling
  111. dunes.
  112. A large bag is lying here.
  113. A wooden crate is here, holding several variations of survival supplies.
  114. A worn wooden crutch is leaning against the wall, next to a large pech-grass basket.
  115. A white feather duster is here, hanging from a peg on the wall.
  116. A few pieces of... Bug, sticking out, a leather tool bag lays here limp.
  117. An elongated, heavy trunk made of agafari lies here.
  118. A backpack made of leather lies here, embroidered to depict a bahamet.
  119. The skull of a gargantuan braxat has been mounted on the wall.
  120. Armor and clothing fill a large obsidian bin, next to the two chests.
  121. Water vessels are in a bone sided chest, which also holds packs and bags.
  122. Fletchery and tools are in a bone sided chest.
  123. Armaments of every category are in a large, long weapons rack.
  124. First-aid materials and cures have been put in a large pech-grass basket.
  125. Hanging on the wall here is a scrap of parchment with a map showing all the treaures of the Known.
  126. Next to two others is a large red bag.
  127. A large blue bag is here full of raw goods and materials.
  128. Soldiers and aides mingle noisily around an embroidered broad, white linen gaming mat on the southern side of the room.
  129. Next to the mat is a small pech-grass basket, full of a multitude of games.

  248. A Stonepaved Courtyard [N, E, S]
  249. The stones paving this courtyard are newly cut, rough edges waiting
  250. for the wear that will smooth their grey and black surface. To the east
  251. sits a large barracks, the arms of House Tor carved above them and gleaming
  252. with fresh paint. Along its side is an animal pen, made of wood, which
  253. leans into the shelter of the larger building. Stone walls surround the
  254. courtyard, topped with broken glass to keep away the worst of Allanak's
  255. notorious thieves. A large mural, depicting the siege of the city by
  256. rebel dwarves, their short, squat forms fleeing in terror from Tektolnes'
  257. might in the final stages, has been painted onto the blank stone of one
  258. wall, apparently to serve as inspiration for the troops training here.

  270. A Small Training Yard [S, Save]
  271. This dusty square yard is enclosed by sturdy-looking stone walls topped
  272. with shards of broken glass. The walls appear to be either fairly new or
  273. relatively well maintained, though they bear a number of rough scuff marks
  274. and scratches. The ground is hard-packed and fairly flat, allowing the dust
  275. to tell its tale of combats fought here. To the north, a wooden weapons
  276. rack is set along the wall, and to the south, a small wooden gate opens up
  277. into a courtyard.
  278. A shadow falls over the area, driving off the uncomfortable heat.
  279. An unlit simple torch made of a piece of bone lies here.
  280. Folded neatly and weighed down with white pebbles and a single red flower, a weathered, dust-colored longcloak is laid at the base of the statuette.
  281. Filled with training medical supplies, a shabby basket sits beside a worn stone bench.
  282. A small black statuette of a dragon sits here.
  283. Placed ceremoniously before the small dragon statuette, a smooth obsidian ring lies flat here.
  284. A box made from roughly hewn wood is here.
  285. A large, long weapons rack has been fixed to the eastern wall.
  286. A worn stone bench sits here, against a wall.
  287. A simple wooden chest sits here on the floor.
  288. Sitting on the edge of the bench, a tiny purple-feathered songbird recoils in fear of every human that nears it.

  413. to tell its tale of combats fought here. To the north, a wooden weapons

  547. A Stonepaved Courtyard [N, E, S]
  548. The stones paving this courtyard are newly cut, rough edges waiting
  549. for the wear that will smooth their grey and black surface. To the east
  550. sits a large barracks, the arms of House Tor carved above them and gleaming
  551. with fresh paint. Along its side is an animal pen, made of wood, which
  552. leans into the shelter of the larger building. Stone walls surround the

  554. notorious thieves. A large mural, depicting the siege of the city by
  555. rebel dwarves, their short, squat forms fleeing in terror from Tektolnes'
  556. might in the final stages, has been painted onto the blank stone of one

  2871. A Dimly-Lit, Spacious Entrance [E, W]
  2872. An enormous archway made of jade stretches along the western entrance
  2873. of this immense building. Solid obsidian blocks have formed the sloping
  2874. walls which curve to form the shape of a large dome overhead, the ceiling
  2875. above lost within shadows created by the dim green lighting. A small series
  2876. of steps leads to a walkway of gleaming ebon marble, which has been polished
  2877. to a dull shine through the efforts of slaves and custodians who labor
  2878. tirelessly to keep the elements beyond from tarnishing these sacred grounds.
  2879. Beyond the edges of the jade-lined, marble walkway, the chiseled obsidian
  2880. floors stretch outward into the shadows beyond, its length indeterminable
  2881. within the engulfing darkness. Bordering the marble aisle, dozens of
  2882. banners stretch along the walkway leading to the inner reaches of the
  2883. Temple, each towering ebon-silk banner proudly bearing a jade cross along
  2884. its surface. Small orb-shaped lanterns have been hung in opposing pairs
  2885. along the lower crest of each banner, their design ensuring that the dim
  2886. light of the glow-crystal within is cast in a pattern of small jade-crosses
  2887. along the interior of this darkened chamber.

  2903. form the shape of a large dome overhead, easily surpassing seventy cords at
  2904. its apex. High overhead, streaks of crimson light pour from a large cross
  2905. cut within the keystone of the dome, draping down upon an immense
  2906. obsidian-carved dragon which dominates the majority of this spacious
  2907. chamber. A walkway of gleaming, polished marbled splits here, encircling a
  2908. large raised dais along the center of the room. Identical pathways of
  2909. marble stretch to the northern, southern, and western fringes of the
  2910. intersection, while a gleaming marble staircase ascends to the upper level.
  2911. Two immense legs of obsidian have perched along either edge of the
  2912. dais, expanding to the shape of a colossal dragon which seems to blot
  2913. everything else from view overhead, its wings spanned outward in its
  2914. glorious perch above those beneath. Set out of reach to even the tallest
  2915. of half-giants upon a raised monument of sculpted stone, a jade and
