    <description>Yells and shouts fill the surroundings as dock workers communicate in the only way that is fitting for this noisy, hectic environment.  A couple young boys watch the work anxiously, planning their future and their torment.</description>
    <description>Though night turns the sea to black and turns the majority of Rathan citizens inside, work on the dock never seems to cease entirely as workers continue to ply their trade.</description>

    <description>Wooden crates are stacked several high along the rutted road.  Ratha's busy port is the lifeblood of this community, keeping the townsfolk busy all throughout the day and night.  The warehouse district to the north is full of goods and perishables, either making their way to Ratha, or being exported to other islands in the area.</description>

    <description>Vendors of meat pies, tarts, and flavored ices stroll the crowded walk, calling out their wares in a sing-song rhythm that sticks in the memory.  Their cries blend with the splash of oars and the voice of the ocean wind to make a melody that identifies Ratha as clearly as a map or the high rock that juts from the harbor to the west.</description>
    <description>A flickering torch high on a post gives a bit of light to the walk.  A giant and misshapen shadow cast on the warehouse wall mimics the infrequent visitor to the docks at this time of night, and footsteps echo as if the shadow walked alongside.</description>

Several dozen gulls have gone to roost on the building's sagging rooftop.  The ill-fated gull apparently chose the wrong person to anoint during the hectic crush of the daytime.</description>
    <description>An abandoned looking warehouse is liberally stained with streaks of white, most likely the work of the several dozen gulls resting on the rooftop.  Shattered and discarded seashells litter the street in front of the warehouse, testament that the gulls find this area of the city to be the height of fine dining.  Passersby cast wary glances in the gulls' direction, hoping to avoid any sudden gifts from above.</description>

A trio of hawkers face off in a contest of lung power to lure in prospective clientele.  They seem blissfully unaware that they drive off far more potential business than they draw in.</description>

    <description>Littered with the forgotten remanent of former treasures, this brick pathway winds past some of the more fashionable parts of town.  Light flickers from lanterns above unmarked doorways as it battles against the darkness that forces it to remain a mere pool of warmth at the doorsteps.  Ominous shadows seem to lurk within every nook from the depth of the cold night.</description>

    <description>The ceiling of the east transept is painted with an eternal battle.  A small welkin, the symbol of Divyaush struggles with a raving raccoon, the manisfestation of Zachriedek.  A stormy sea scene frames their conflict, as waves of foam-crested spume fling up the walls toward the supporting ceiling beams.</description>

A polished deobar railing is carved with images of ravens and raccoons which intertwine around anchors, mining picks and the crest of the Nadamian family.  Dark aged oak carved into the shape of a leaping welkin forms the newel post to anchor the railing to the steps at the bottom and top of each section.</description>

    <description>Moths flitter at globe-like lanterns that sit nestled along the gravel paths creating small pools of flickering light.

Stately trees form green walls along winding gravel paths that bisect the gardens from large expanses of manicured green lawns.  At the crossroads is a white gazebo surrounded by three symmetrical reflecting pools.  Standing on a small moss covered mound, the little structure seems to blush in the sunlight.  Stepping stones create a path through the clear pools to the small marble structure.</description>

Liveried tellers glide in and out, handing leather pouches to the guards, who in turn pass the coins through a flickering moongate at the far end of the room.  On one side, a languid S'Kra Mur Moon Mage reclines upon a plush quilted silk divan as she concentrates upon maintaining her part of the network of gates used by the bank.</description>

    <description>Whitewashed walls surround the hall, a series of nautical items hung at various points around the room.  Wide wooden planks underfoot creak under the weight of large stone slabs that stand nearby, each awaiting inspection, while smaller carts of bone and wood are pushed under tarps to protect them from the salty air.  A stern overseer keeps a close eye on things, barking at his associate when a new delivery arrives or needs moving.  A wide stairway leads downward, further into the society, while a large waste bucket rests nearby.</description>
