Stone benches flank a white marble fountain, and the pleasant burblings nearly drown out the sounds of the city. A stand of modwir trees is home to a flock of pigeons, cooing softly to one another. On the far eastern shore of the river, you see the bustling commercial center of Kharam-Dzu. You also see the Jemiquist disk, a small ivy-covered cottage, a large moss covered gate, a silk handfasting pavilion, a shallow pool, a ring of figures and a doorman.
Also here: Jemiquist, Aigua, Cephron
