Stalled wagons and carts tighten the road here at the heart of Four
Kings. High upon the side of the building on the southeast corner of the

the Lugard Highway, easily as wide as the Caemlyn Road which runs in
between the festive establishments of town, even if not quite so busy.

A Dusty Road Through Four Kings
Though perhaps a slightly disreputable part of town, the road still sees
plenty of use here, running towards Caemlyn to the east and into the
heart of Four Kings to the west. A fanciful facade rises above the north
side of the road, proclaimed as the Lord's Companion, the meaning of
which is displayed by the women who call from the upstairs windows at all

* HP:Healthy MV:Strong > The Outskirts of Four Kings
The gaudy buildings of Four Kings quickly surround the Caemlyn Road as
it runs westward towards Whitebridge, resulting in a crowded, noisy, and
incredibly busy town at all hours of the day and night. The street is
crowded with wagons, packed so tightly that there is barely enough room
for a single cart to pass by, let alone allow two way traffic. Even from
here the sounds of staged mirth are audible from the taverns.

Sprawled across the plains to the west lies the village of Four Kings,

Perhaps the most crowded place in all of Tar Valon, the square is packed with
people shopping along Merchant Square. In the square is a fountain, which
some people lean against to rest or merely watch all that is surrounding
them. The White Tower lies a bit to the north, but people take no more notice
of it than the other buildings along the road.

Southharbor Boulevard
Heading south of Merchant Square, the great paving squares of the boulevard
slowly turn into cobblestone. South of here is the man-made part of the city.
Some parts were completed two thousand years after the Ogier left. The
cobblestone road leads south toward the harbor. The rabble and ruckus of an inn
beckons one from the east. There is a bank to the west, newly-built.

Dock workers scurry around, unloading and loading ships from Tear and

clean, for Tar Valon, it is considered a bit seedy. At night, this part
of the city is one of the few places that is not very well lit, thus
attracting unsavory characters. Nevertheless, people say the Aes Sedai

Tower Square
At the corner of the square, the dazzling pearl white buildings of Tar
Valon surround the square. In the center of the square is the White Tower,
walled off from the rest of the city. To the south the Air Avenue flows
into the square from the Alindaer Gate in the southwest secion of the city.
In the center of the square, atop a pedestal of blue veined white marble,
is the polished silver statue of a regal Aes Sedai. Surrounding the base of
the statue are hundreds of morning lillies, their heady and rich perfume
filling the air and delighting the senses.

Dock workers scurry around, unloading and loading ships from Tear and

clean, for Tar Valon, it is considered a bit seedy. At night, this part
of the city is one of the few places that is not very well lit, thus
attracting unsavory characters. Nevertheless, people say the Aes Sedai
take care of those who break the law...
