People swarm the area as they attempt to squeeze through the gates. 
Before you lies the complex road system of New Kolvir, and as you peer
intently, you cannot quite seem to distinguish which is the starting point
and which is the end.  Guard posts are erected to both sides of the gates
and you notice some of the guards handing out passes to merchants.  You
wonder what those passes are.  It is said that within the dark corners of
the roads and buildings, marauding creatures lurk and await a chance to kill
the unsuspecting adventurer.  This guard post is perhaps the safest place in
the whole of New Kolvir.  Somewhere, amidst the intersecting buildings you
see the castle where the ruler of New Kolvir resides.
