The entrance to Nhang Š harbour is noted for its 80 fearsome stone statues, Š known as 'The Warriors of Nhang', which stand in two Š lines and form a double colonnade out into the sea. Š Their ferocious granite faces glare down at you Š unmercifully as the ιEmbassageι sails between them and Š docks at the quay. Before you disembark, Captain Leonghi warns you to be Š on your guard while you are in the city. The natives Š still harbour loyalties to the memory of Shasarak, Š and recent uprisings have led to the imposition of a Š dawn-to-dusk curfew. He advises you to go directly to Š the city of Tiklu and seek out his cousin Gemulkin. Š He, too, is a merchant captain and he regularly plies Š a trader between Tiklu and the Port of Suhn. Leonghi Š gives you a scroll (record this Special Item on your Š ιAction Chartι as Leonghi's Scroll; you keep it in a Š pocket of your tunic). It is a letter of introduction Š which bears his seal, and in it he asks his cousin to Š take you to Suhn. You thank the Captain for all his help and then Š disembark onto Nhang quay. You leave the port area Š and follow 'The Street of the Full Moon' - the main Š thoroughfare which bisects the city and ends at its Š West Gate. Your first impressions of Nhang are mixed. Š The striking design and construction of its buildings Š amaze you, but the dismal mood of its natives and the Š large number of street beggars leaves you with the Š feeling that the city could erupt at any time. You pass many hundreds of shops and they all appear Š dingy and uninteresting until you happen upon a Š triangular building, created by a fork in the road. Š It has no sign stating its business, but by the Š nature of the various goods displayed in its window Š you judge it to be an emporium.
