The Tanners' Guild~
   You first notice the pungent smell of freshly tanned leather goods as
you enter this strange place.  The next thing that grabs your attention
is the many colors that these people have transformed the beautiful
skins into.  The people are streaching the leather and cutting it into
the shapes they need.
You notice a small message on a wall.

out on your skin from the humidity here.  All around you are thousands of
exotic plants and flowers.  The sweet smell of jasmine and honeysuckle
reminds you of happier days at home.  Off to the north, through the palm
trees, you see a delicate white gazebo.
   A path leads out into the hallway and west towards the gazebo.
To your right stands a gold sign.

Large paintings hang from the walls displaying nature scenes, nudes,
and glorious victories in battle.  Strange scupltures rest on pedestals 
at each corner of the room and mirrors are placed in strategic locations
so the viewer may see an entire sculpture at a glance.
