150
Majestic stone buildings and numerous inn signs form a horizon before you. A large crowd bustles along the extremely wide roads, where four wagons can pass each other without incident. There are, of course, many narrower paths, but the main thoroughfares are impressive. Statues and fountains dot these wide passages, and many travelers let their horses drink there.
You are at the great eastern crossroads, the center of all the major trade routes that cross Faraway: Crossroads.
The city gates serve only to stop wagons in order to tax their contents. It is very likely that much merchandise is smuggled through the houses built into the wall, but since the taxes are not too high, many merchants prefer to pay the toll rather than entrust their goods to dubious hands. The guard is very important and guarantees the safety of the many wealthy merchants who enjoy a privileged position within the city.
