	You climb a steep path which ascends to the clifftop 
Š	park, and when you arrive there you are rewarded by a 
Š	spectacular view of the Gulf of Tentarium and the 
Š	city streets below. The park is empty of people, 
Š	except for a small group of men who are gathered 
Š	around the remains of a stone statue which lies 
Š	broken and overgrown with weeds. A plaque attached to 
Š	the shattered base declares that it was once a 
Š	likeness of Shasarak, the Wytch-King of Shadaki. He 
Š	was an infamous necromancer who inflicted a reign of 
Š	terror upon this land until finally he was defeated 
Š	and his empire destroyed in the year MS 5054.

	As you move nearer you see that the group is 
Š	listening to the rantings of a bald man who is 
Š	attired in grimy, tattered grey robes. His wild eyes 
Š	roll in his cadaverous face as he tries to persuade 
Š	his listeners to join with him in the overthrow of 
Š	the city's ruling council. Between rantings, he 
Š	offers them food from a large wooden bowl.
