A Dusty, Foot-worn Road                                -      N      - 
(-------------------------------------------------)     - <---(M)---> E
                                                        -      S      -

This dusty road is rutted and worn from constant usage by pedestrians and
the rolling press of wagon wheels.  A yellowing strip of grass lines the
center, adding a splash of color to an otherwise dreary brown.  There are
seldom more than one or two people about.  Most of the noise in the area
seems to consist of dogs barking and random shouted conversations.  To the
west rises the hastily constructed, and rather meager outer wall.  A small
side street branches off to the east.  
A ball of white feathers clucks loudly at all present.
A scruffy looking stray dog sniffs at a bit of garbage.
