You are standing at the southeast end of the courtyard of the Runic
Castle.  Directly to the east you can see and hear the bawdy patrons of The
MoonMist Tavern, the only tavern in the marketplace.  From the terrible
singing, it seems that the patrons are enjoying a bit too much ale, as
usual.  The courtyard proper is to the north and west.
