An Intersection of Paths                               NW     #     NE

The grass is dying here where the ground has been trodden heavily.  Paths
intersect here, so traffic is especially high.  Paths intersect from the
northeast, southeast, and northwest.  Doors to shops reside to each side of the
paths, bright banners hanging from them.  The road continues northeast and
northwest.  A thick muddy path leaves southeast.
