Ngoya
The smell gave Ngoya her first impression of Blackmoor. Human and animal waste, dumped just outside the eastern wall of the city and left there to turn into a disturbing semblance of a swamp. 15 foot walls surround the city, the most recent of 5 sets of walls, the city outgrowing each over the years. The most recent outer walls are strange to behold - metallic and formed by magic rather than human hands. The north and south gates to the city host a steady line of wagons, riders on horseback, and those on foot. The noble in the line was readily obvious, carried in a levitating chair, surrounded by guards armed with what Ngoya's tribe used to call lightning staffs, strange weapons of technology that fired arrows seemingly made of energy.
Guards armed with similar weapons patrolled the top of the walls and manned the checkpoints in to the city. Ngoya noted that the guards allowed travelers who gave them gold to pass, while those who had no gold to give had their wagons and saddlebags and everything else inspected and rummaged through. One guard at the south gate seemed fond of the word "contraband" and kept everything identified as such. His collection of "contraband" included quite a few valuable looking items.
