------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Caemlyn Central Square
You are in a large stone square, right in the middle of Caemlyn's outer
city. You see a wide boulevard to the north, and the path to the inner
city. There are a number of shops around you. The density of the population
is really quite incredible. It's almost impossible to relax as you are
being constantly bumped and jostled. From here you can really get a good
view of the outer city, and this just makes you appreciate the older inner
city all the more.
A large banner hangs nearby, depicting a map of Caemlyn's outer city.

Middle of a Wide Boulevard
This is the middle of a wide boulevard that runs east and west across Caemlyn.
The boulevard is bisected by a strip of grass and a row of trees which run its
length. The sheer noise of crowded Caemlyn is overwhelming, almost a dull
roar. To the north is a paved road which leads into the Inner City. To the
south is an open square and a cluster of shops.

This side of the square is the southern section of the Tower Square.
In the center is the walled off White Tower. To the south a large

There is a dusty air to the halls here, as if the women who lived here are
too busy with other things to bother having servants clean very often. The
tapestries are few, their colorful weavings dulled, apparently cleaned as
seldom as everything else here. Many of the lamps are unlit, plunging much
of the hall into gloom. A dusty tapestry of a king receiving surrender from
another king hangs from the wall at the end of the corridor.

Study of the Brown Ajah
Shelves line the walls, except for the door that must lead to inner rooms
and where maps hang, often in layers, and what seemed to be charts of the
night sky. Books and papers and scrolls cover nearly every flat surface,
with all sorts of odd things interspaced between the piles, and sometimes
on top of them. Strange shapes of glass or metal, spheres and tubes
interlinked, and circles held in circles, stand among bones and skulls of
every shape and description. A messy lab table, covered in beakers, tubes,
vials, and burners lies off to one side. A sturdy padded recliner with
embroidered upholstery lies nearby.

Merwyn looks at you.
Merwyn listens intently.
Alayla says 'There is a certain level of caution that needs to be exercised when a criminal is involved.'
Merwyn nods.
Alayla says 'Number one, you are never to be in the company of a criminal, I don't care how petty the crime, if he is not in the process of being apprehended.'
Alayla says 'Number two, you are a Novice, and you are not in a level of authority to apprehend or serve warrants.'
Merwyn nods.
Alayla says 'Lastly, if you felt she needed protection, there are other means to do so than assisting with swords drawn.'
