A Muddy Trail~
Your feet squish down into the mud, making each step a struggle to pull
your foot free. This trail looks heavily travelled with wagon tracks and
horse hooves turning it into a thick muddy slime. Through the thick
forest to the east you see the western wall of Bellau City. Through a thin
covering of trees to the west you see a massive body of water.

East Lane~
A battlement above the main gate towers over you to the north. You are
on a lane that parallels the eastern wall of this fortress. You can follow
it to the south or enter the courtyard to the west. Out in the courtyard
you see a couple groups of people talking amongst themselves. Maybe they
can give you some answers to what's going on.

Courtyard~
You are standing in the southeastern section of the courtyard, a small
road branches off to the east. Several people are standing around in the
courtyard looking at the main gate, but no one is leaving. You notice
guards are blocking anyone from leaving the castle. It looks like you
might be stuck here.

The packed dirt trail leading to the east and west is deserted by the
normal traffic that would flow through a castle this size. The few people
you see hurry past you and don't even attempt to be polite to anyone else.
Though the road is wide and empty they still shoulder you out of their
way.

South Lane~
A stranger stops you and whispers, 'Leave while you can, the king is
ordering people into his army to fight the northern army, no one has come
back from the battles. ' He emphasizes his words with a long stare that
sets your nerves on end, then turns and walks away.

South Lane~
The lane continues east or west, a guard watches as you walk by,
looking at you as if measuring your abilities against his. He writes
something down on a piece of paper and hands it to a page that is
walking by. The guard looks back up at you and grins.

The road turns along the wall to the north and east. A guard is arguing
with a merchant about some new tax he's suppose to be collecting. The
merchant seemed to think he wouldn't have to pay right up until the guard
drew his sword. A set of stairs is carved into the wall to the west,
leading up into the tower.
