You are standing on a small clearing outside the Runic Castle Stables. 
Each morning, the Stable Master and his workers take the animals out for a
brisk morning walk through the grass fields south of here.  This helps keep
the horses limber and healthy.  There is a small stone path to your east
leading away from the Stables.
