Entrance~
   Fine stonecraft and workmanship has created this picturesque fortress.  A
portcullis gapes open invitingly.  Several guards inspect all passers-by.  A
small ferry is available to cross back to the mainland.

Courtyard~
   The castle courtyard bustles with activity.  Several people are hustling
about their daily business.  The courtyard extends in all directions except to
the east which leads to the gate of the castle.  A steady flow of peasants
merchants and a few nobles pass by.

Courtyard~
   The citizens are going about their daily lives.  The center of the courtyard
is crowded with activity.  The people seem to be wary and distrustful of each
other.  A knight strolls through the courtyard and the peasants and merchants
stare at his back after he passes with a look of hate.  They do not seem to be
very happy.

Courtyard~
   The people rudely elbow their way through the crowd and seem to have no time
for manners.  The impressive castle walls surrounding the courtyard loom high
overhead providing a sense of security.  A couple of beggars look up imploringly
hoping for some chairty, everyone ignores them.  To the west lies the main
entrance to the castle.

Audience Chamber~
   Dozens of chairs form a semicircle in this vast room around a throne to the
south.  The room only has a few people in it.  None of them look like they are
of any importance.

Audience Chamber~
   A path through the room weaves between the numerous chairs.  To the south the
floor slopes down to a intracate throne plated in gold.  A page scurries past as
he runs one of his errands.  Further to the east and west you see exits, while
the throne lies to the south.

Audience Chamber~
   This large chamber is supported by several columns, chairs are crowded
together in rows, all facing the throne to the south.  Several colorfully
dressed nobles are discussing important matters amongst themselves, even a 
few are involved in heated discussions.  Probably just the usual bickering 
about who owns what land.

Cobblestone Road~
   A large inner wall splits the castle in half.  It is used as a second line of
defense in case the castle's defenses can not hold the outer wall.  The outer
wall is set aside for the poor quarter while the wealthier inhabitants crowd the
inner circle.

Cobblestone Road~
   This cobblestone road seems to bisect the entire city of Camelot.  Pennants
fly from the towers high above and all of the buildings gleam of white stone.  
Several knights seem to be coming and going to the North.

Cobblestone Road~
   The white walls of the castle are almost blinding, the flags and penants snap
in the wind, everything looks perfect, except for the fact that the general mood
in the castle seem to be depressing.  A tall fence to the south blocks the view
but not the sound of men on horseback.

Knight's Way~
   A steady stream of traffic flows from the south.  The sounds of training can
be heard and their is some excitement in the crowd.  Several knights in full
combat gear are among the crowd.  It is easy to pick out those who won and those
who lost recently.

blocks placed so precisely that seams are barely visible.  Pennants and
different seals adorn the spires and walls.

Cobblestone Road~
   The cobbleston road continues east and west through Camelot with smaller
alleys travelling north and south.  A small friendly building to the south looks
inviting.  A nice change from the majority of the people in Camelot.

Cobblestone Road~
   The glamor of Camelot is not reflected by the people in the streets.  
Everyone seems subdued and to have accepted some fate they did not want.  It is
as if the spirit had been taken away from the city.

place in Camelot having a good time.

rusted and look like they haven't been used for a very long time.  A dirt path

Boat Launch~
   A massive lake is partially visible through the dense fog.  A long narrow
boat is tied up to a small dock here.  A cloaked figure is sitting in the back,
holding a long pole.  This boat looks to be a ferry between the shore and some
unseen destination through the fog to the west.

The Lake~
   The boat slowly moves across the rough surface of the lake, a strong wind
blows from the north but not enough to dispell the fog.  The owner of the boat
slowly pushes the boat westward with his pole.  The fog is too think to discern
a destination.

   The fog slowly parts revealing a large island.  A massive castle fills the
entire island.  Its spires shrouded fog.  Lights are visible in several windows
and the noise of its inhabitants echo across the still lake.

Open Field~
   The Field continues north and south with no end in sight.  Due east 
stands the massive castle resting in the middle of the lake on a small 
sland.  The sky looks darker to the north and you catch a scent of death 
and decay from a gust of wind in that direction.
