You are in front of an immense black iron gate, beyond which stands the
Runic Castle.  Flanking the gate is an equally immense black iron fence that
extends to the east and west.  A beautiful garden lies to the south, while a
path winds up the slopes of the Runic Mountain to the west.  A trail winds
around the castle fence to the east.  
     There is a weathered wooden hitching post here.
