A Bend in the Road
The road here travels north from Fal Dara and takes a bend to the west. The
northern gates of Fal Dara can be made out looming ominously to the south.
People can be seen traveling by way of wagon or horseback going in and out of
Fal Dara along with patrolling soldiers keeping a wairy eye out for anything
suspicious.

Approaching the Fal Dara Gates
Here are the mighty gates of Fal Dara which have withstood battle after
countless battle against the minions of the Dark One. Leading away from the
gates, a road travels toward the east, bordered by the Shienaran Forest. The
road is rutted from traveling wagons and horses.

The Massive Northern Gates of Fal Dara
Dominated by the large, iron bound gates to the north, this stone courtyard is
used as a marshalling ground for the soldiers of Shienar. The uneven stones
that make up the ground are worn smooth from centuries of use by both man and
beast.

A Cobblestone Lane
This road is easily wide enough for four carts to travel abreast. Soldiers
wearing the sigil of House Jagad can be seen constantly moving through the
street. Drab barracks line both sides of the road, providing housing for
Sheinaran soldiers.

The road forks into three different branches here. Northward, the Malkier gate
can be clearly seen. To the south, the wall of the Fal Dara keep blocks all
passage. The second road moves both east and west, around the keep.

Curve Around the Keep

and holes are evident from countless sieges and outright attacks.

Road Alongside the Keep
Following the keep's looming walls is a small path. High above are archers
peering down from battlements watching for incursions from the Great Blight.

Road Along the Keep
The impenetrable walls of the Fal Dara Keep are a barrier to the fierce winds
that sweep over the city. Walking on the slightly uneven lane, you hear the
crunch of lose pebbles beneath you feet. Looking south, you see what seems to
be a bend in the road.

Rounding the Keep
A bend in the path to the entrance to the keep rounds the great pillar of the
Keep's guard tower. Seemingly hundreds of feet above you can see a banner wave
the sigil of the Swooping Hawk. Judging from the crowd, the entrance to the
Keep is near.
