    <description>Gauzy blue sunshades far above reach out from building eaves on either side of the way, shifting in slight desert breezes and shading the daytime strollers below.  An inn to one side has seen better days, but still seems to do a brisk business with all the traffic.  The constant crowd of the street makes it difficult going for merchant caravans on their way to the Great Gate to the southeast.</description>
    <description>The sound of fabric flapping in the night breezes comes down to the street from somewhere overhead, beyond the range of sight.  An inn to one side has seen better days, but still looks well off with what customers it manages to attract.  The crowds of the day have dissipated, leaving only the occasional patron stepping into the inn for the night.</description>

    <description>Whitewashed walls seem to pull the light down into the street, throwing small but sharp shadows away from people and objects.  Ignoring the traffic of everyday life passing upon the way, a cat naps upon the front step of a building.  A wall topped with slate blue tiles separates the Carousel Square from the staho, but no gate blocks the wide archway leading through the wall to the square.</description>

Here the soft stone shows its age, with hairline cracks running across the occasional wall or storefront, some extending from the ground below to the crest of the structure several stories overhead.</description>
    <description>Deep darkness engulfs the southern sector of this pathway, shadows from the tall (and often mismatched) buildings made unforgiving by the cloak of night.  All is silent, a rare lack of sound in the normally bustling city, as the structures that normally provide forgiving shade now swallow both sound and light.</description>

Although space is at a premium, several storefronts manage to crowd their way toward the narrow path, looming high overhead.  A fine, powdery dust, the byproduct of the stonemasons working here, hangs perpetually in the air.</description>
    <description>The soft, occasional ring of metal on stone is the only sound to be heard on this narrow walk.  Tall, shadowed piles of stone, gathered in supply stacks for the masons, crowd the street, making the darkness seem even more confining.</description>

    <description>Darkness hangs heavily in the stillness that drapes this sector of the Street of Stoneworkers, muffling what small nighttime sounds might otherwise be heard.  The daytime bustle has retreated to the residential districts of the city, and all is quiet.</description>

On the ground, bits of confetti swirl against the paving stones, occasionally lofting high into the air to perform a sprightly dance with an errant breeze.  The wind is fickle, however, quickly casting its partner aside to fall in colorful puddles of paper upon the ground, scuffed by passing feet until a streetsweeper's broom gathers it into oblivion.</description>

    <description>Discordant sounds roll out of an upper level window down to the street, shattering the quiet of night.

    <description>The southmost end of the Street of Instrument Makers, leading further southeast to the Street of Alchemists and east to Gate Square, sharply contrasts the two adjacent atmospheres with its air of constant musical movement.  A rhythmic beat that pulses with the heart keeps a constant undertone to travelers' shifting feet.</description>
    <description>The silence of night seems unnatural in this quarter of the Instrument Makers' domain, for its usual thrumming drum beat is not so much heard as felt by day.  Now the street seems to strain at its yoke of darkness, relieved only by the light in Laniloti's window.  It seems the old drummer never rests for long.</description>

While a certain amount of noise filters down from the nearby Street of Instrument Makers, the tasteful gardens and spacious architecture contend that this remains one of the most sophisticated places in the city.</description>

A chiseled rail of white stone parallels it, as if trying to ward off the property it guards from the surrounding city.</description>
    <description>A passing breeze occasionally stirs the heavy curtains bordering a long veranda here, bravely lifting and parting the hem of the heavy silk.

    <description>As if in defiance to the ever-present music flowing along this street by day, the night keeps an iron reign here, muffling all but the occasional soothing note of a single low-pitched shaku.

    <description>Each performer that passes reaches up to touch the outstretched carved hand of a magnificent statue that dominates the street.  Having paid homage to the noble S'Kra depicted, they continue on their way, returning their attentions to the crowds that gather to watch the never-ending sideshows.  A display of paintings are sheltered under the awning of a nearby building.  The budding artist hovers protectively in front of the oils as he hawks his greatest works.</description>

The featureless stones leave no cover for any intruder that might have breached the gate of the old fort, giving the arrow slits high up on the walls an ominous character.

A white four-poster bed draped with a delicate rose coverlet lies in one corner of the room, opposite a matching vanity set with an oval mirror where guests may check their appearance before descending to the tavern.</description>

    <description>Thick, choking clouds of smoke swirl about your head from the smelly cigars favored by the regular occupants of this tiny gaming room.  A collection of wooden card tables and flimsy chairs are scattered about the cramped space, hastily pushed together or shoved aside as the gamblers change games and fortunes with each card drawn.  An occasional curse rings through the air to drown out the whirr of cards and the clink of coins changing hands.</description>

On the opposite side stand the double deobar doors that lead into the main hall.</description>

    <description>Passing between low, thick greenery and beds ablaze with colorful flowers, the crushed coral road follows a great curve between the gate and the palace, both visible in the distance.  Delicate scents drift across the quiet way from the purple, red and white blooms amid the plantings.  A grove of trees planted before the grand palace offers a shady counterpoint to the harsh desert air that slips in over the walls of the palace grounds.</description>

The tall entry facade belonging to Shorka's Palace stretches between a pair of slender, carved stone minarets faced with spiraling bands of polychrome tile.  Tall double doors lead into the great building, set back within a niche in the grand facade.  Opposite the doors is a grove of trees placed to cast shade over the road.</description>

    <description>About halfway up one of the massive arms of a huge, star-shaped dune, the landscape of the desert becomes slightly more apparent.  Stretching out in all directions further than the eye can see, great sandy mountains are the only decoration on an endless canvas of blowing amber grains, shifting about on a generational timescale.  Many of the peaks rise not much higher than this vantage point, though several lift daringly into the sky, as if challenging the desert wind to obliterate them.</description>
    <description>This low valley surrounded on all sides by immense, star-shaped dunes is just one of many locations within the expansive Velaka Desert that a hapless wanderer could be forgotten for eternity.  No sign of the horizon can be found from the bottom of this basin, edged in on all sides by almost insurmountable walls of loose sand, shifting in the slightest breeze yet refusing to give way.  The broad swath of sky overhead only reinforces the image of a hopelessly deep trough in an ocean of sand.</description>
    <description>Nearing the midsection of this massive arm which radiates outward from the center of an enormous star-shaped dune, the Velaka Desert stands solemnly desolate under the cover of night.  Though the sandy mountain is one in a sea of similar shapes stretching as far as the eye can see, cast in the shadow of darkness it manages to retain a solitary appearance.  Still, several peaks rise yet higher into the air, as if challenging the wind to obliterate them before morning.</description>
    <description>Dark and oppressive shapes loom on all sides, the shadowy nocturnal visages of the towering star-shaped dunes which dominate this portion of the Velaka Desert, stoic and silent.  The horizon in every direction is blocked by the hulking mountains of sand, making navigation by landmark an impossibility, the dunes themselves changing shape in the passing wind.  Overhead, visible only over the peaks of the darkened hills, the sky serves as a reminder of the depth of the valley.</description>
    <description>The entirety of Velaka spreads out below this colossus of sand, the tremendous height of the mountain towering over all others within sight.  From here the famous star-shaped patterns of the dune field are immediately apparent, looking much like an army of immense starfish crawling toward the mountains on the horizon out of a great ocean, leagues away.  Unlike many of the other regions of the desert, no telltale signs of life persist here, proving this as the most untouched corner of this barren land.</description>

Unlike the more heavily traveled trade roads that cross the desert, this trail allows for a leisurely pace while partially sheltered from the sand-laden winds by the wall of Shorka's Palace itself.</description>

Low walls of clay-rich soil divide the irregularly shaped pools of water, fed by a system of tiny canals and moveable wooden chutes that carry salt water from the nearby Lake Ratamipak.  The ponds around the end of the road here are furthest from the lake, giving them the least access to water and going through fewer production cycles, making them marginal investments.</description>

    <description>There's a marked difference between the normal sands outside this pit and the sands within.  The sands of the pit have a dry, loose texture and they swirl about like the rapids of a river, consuming those foolish enough to tread within them.  More than merely eating away at the skin, though, the sands create the sensation that there's something more alive burrowing within the body.</description>

To the left of the door hangs a framed painting, and to the right is a small porthole.</description>

    <description>S'Kra Mur clerks toil away inside a cramped room, made to seem far smaller thanks to mounted wall racks loaded with yellowed vellum scrolls, stacks of parchment sheaves piled in the corners, and decoratively carved oak desks -- ornamentation strikingly unusual in bureaucratic offices.  A door, sealed by an iron bar, leads deeper into the building, perhaps for additional paper storage.  On the opposite side of the room, an archway leads back to the streets outside.</description>
