Through the Š open gates you can see the mighty bridge which spans Š the lower fork of the River Khorda. Beyond lie the Š Bavari hills shimmering in a heat haze, and towards Š the horizon are the Great Masourn mountains which Š appear like a jagged purple frieze appended to the Š sky. Standing in line before the south gates is a caravan Š of wagons drawn by sturdy douggas, the sand horses of Š the Dry Main. Many wagons are piled high with Š merchant's goods destined for Bavari - a rich cargo Š watched over by a dozen armed outriders in the pay of Š the caravan's owners. You approach a line of trestle Š tables set up near the leading wagons where Š passengers may purchase a seat aboard the caravan for Š the 3-day journey to Bavari. Chalked upon a slate is Š the price of the fare: 7 Gold Crowns. If you possess 7 Gold Crowns, turn to â253â If you do not possess 7 Gold Crowns, turn to â164â
