YOu press on forward and slowly walk up the old dusty stairs. As you make it to ground level, you find yourself in an old house, with most of the windows barred shut with wood planks, though many of them been ripped off or broken over the time. You see the light shining through the windows and you head toward the door, noticing that the large bulky chains normally holding it closed has been broken.
You step outside and you find yourself into the desolated street. You remember this place well. It was once a busy road filled with merchants selling their goods, citizens walking by in crowds. But now, its all dust and a long gone memory. The sky is darkened by old fumes and smoke, with some shy sun rays peeking through. The air is hot and dry and the occasional wind burst lift the dusts and sand to your level. Definately a nice day by today's standards
As you remember it, you are in the southern part of the city, not too far from the Old Pelor temple, the core of the city.
