The city itself is located upon an Š island in the estuary of the River Khorda and is Š linked to the mainland by two great stone bridges. Š You admire these wondrous spans from afar as the ship Š takes its place in a line of vessels that are waiting Š to dock at the crowded quayside. The magnificent Š harbour is full of people who have come here from the Š four corners of Magnamund to trade their wares. Š Travellers, merchants, farmers, priests, and slaves Š are just a few of the people you observe when finally Š the ιDesert Jewelι is allowed to dock at the harbour Š wall. Kol's trading partners are already waiting on the Š quayside to meet the ship. They are anxious to do Š business with him, but the battered state of the ship Š following yesterday's storm does little to inspire Š their confidence. The moment the gangplank is Š lowered, they come rushing aboard to inspect the Š timber in the hold. Kol bids you a hurried farewell Š as he and he and his crew thank you once more for Š saving their lives and their livelihoods. You Š disembark and push your way through the busy harbour Š square and enter a broad avenue which leads to the Š heart of this teeming city. At a place called Š Dhanamet Square you happen upon an evening bazaar. Š You are mindful of your need to find lodging for the Š night and some means by which you will be able to Š continue your journey to Elzian. As you stop to look Š at the market and the fa‡ades of the shops and Š taverns which border upon it, your eye is caught by Š the gaily-decorated merchant's stalls and the exotic Š wares displayed upon them.
