The three crossed the city, as it was only a few extra levels down to the bottom of the massive pit that is Fallon. The city streets were winding and confusing for the three, but despite several wrong turns they were able to navigate by gauging their progress against the position of the towering walls of the pit. Soon, they crossed the city and started climbing a staircase on the other side. After several stops to rest, they emerged above the city and turned for a brief glimpse before leaving. The sight was staggering, as the gigantic waterfall to their left poured into the city's harbor. As if on cue, a towering blast of water rose from the harbor, climbing up, up to the the height of the lake above, taking a vessel with it. They gaped at the spectacle of the ship "sailing" off the geyser and into the lake, safely navigating away from the waterfall that would surely carry the frail craft to it's doom.
An ornate gate appeared ahead, carved with figures whose meaning eluded the three, but were likely key individuals from the city's past. Beyond lay a road like any other, stretching off to the east. Passers-by of every description passed through the gate: farmers with fresh produce, peasants lugging recently purchased goods, a caravan loaded with some sort of indistinct bundles.
The road lay before them, awaiting only their footsteps.
