[QUOTE="dave_o, post: 1079298, member: 2933"] Day slowly creeps upon the city of Jewel. The sun reflects dully off the roofs of the surrounding structures, and a gentle mist rises from the ground, dissapating into the blue skies above. Distantly, the lapping of the [I]docks[/I] can be heard. The triplet of Zinovii, Christian, and Carrie make their way to those very docks. The morning traffic is surprisingly light, with only a few ships docking in port - [I]His Royal Bannister[/I], [I]The Triad[/I], and [I]Alustair's Livelihood[/I]. The area is populated mostly with scruffy dock workers, but here and there a wiry elf can be seen climbing a rigging, or adjusting a sail. The smell is quite pungent - the salty sea mixed with all those unwashed bodies. A few structures dot the docks. Namely, the Port Authority, and several smaller warehouses. Surprisingly enough, Jewel doesn't seem to be too terribly adjusted to shipping. [B][COLOR=skyblue]***[/COLOR][/B] "BUY! DELWINIAN BOWS! PETS FROM THE GREAT FOREST! TREASURES FROM THE PHOENIX!"
