Message: <blockquote data-quote="Carlo-One" data-source="post: 7878137" data-attributes="member: 7015827">A New CityAt dawn on Hammer 2, Veran rose as was his custom and went off to meditate. The others awoke shortly afterward and joined Losifan in contributing food for breakfast. It took several tries to get Janatha up from her slumber, but once awake she was eagerly looking forward to reaching Teziir that day. Losifan mentioned that it was a holiday there, so the party would likely find little open for business. When asked by Brok-Tul about it, Janatha said that the holiday was supposedly in honor of an ancient paladin, whose name (Trigonareth? Trigonarith?) Janatha couldn't quite remember. Legends said that the paladin and his companions had defeated a vampire lord in the Dragon Coast. The paladin had later settled in the area where Teziir was today. The leader of the paladins had been Gen Soleilon, who Janatha thought had gone on to the be the first king of Westgate. Losifan interjected that the first human king of Westgate was actually Saldrinar of the Seven Spells, but that Gen Soleilon did defeat a vampire lord to claim the throne around 1,500 years ago. (It is wise to remember and honor legends of the past, especially ones that are relevant today. --C)After some further discussion and a cordial exchange of farewells, the companions broke camp and moved on, Rahnee calling out to Veran to catch up when ready. Four hours of travel brought them to the eastern outskirts of Teziir, where they rested for a short while before Veran arrived. The companions took Janatha up on her offer to give them a tour of the city before they went to her father's house.As they walked north past the first line of buildings, Janatha pointed out that the city did not have any walls, which had in the past been a point of contention on the ruling Merchant Council. In the Council District, Janatha walked them past the temples of Azuth, Chauntea, Torm, Tyr, and Helm, the last being the biggest in the city. Rahnee asked if there was a temple to Tymora, which Janatha confirmed, apologizing for not having gone by it earlier; Rahnee said she was just curious. Janatha mentioned that the Council encouraged the establishment of temples. Janatha also pointed out the Watch Station, commenting that there was one in most districts, and the wizard's tower, which she knew little about. Jokull took the opportunity to ask Janatha if she had heard of a man called Seriawan. She said, after thinking briefly, that she had not, but perhaps her father would know of him.Janatha led them north through the Seaside District, which she said had little worth seeing, although she did point out that the coastline was very rocky to the east, commenting that was why the city docks were on the western side of the peninsula. The next area - The Point - according to Janatha was not very nice district, with just a flophouse and a tavern for sailors, but she liked it because it had a great view of the sea. The group agreed with her, pausing for a while by the lighthouse on the northern point, where a park with some benches had been set up. Several seagulls kept them company as they gazed out into the Dragonmere.The group then walked south along the coast, passing through the Docks District, which appeared relatively busy. Janatha pointed out the Captain's Rest, a tavern where she had been told only sea captains were allowed in. She then led them through the Bayside District and into Traders District, where her father's house was located. Soon, they were outside a rich-seeming home, where Janatha - after pausing to catch her breath - knocked eagerly on the door and announced herself. She was recognized and let in by a servant, followed by the rest of the party.</blockquote>
