The stories

A walled town of pale stone, built from blocks. A street leads to the north gate, and beyond it a road climbs a rocky hill.

Easy

Before the Gate Shuts

The watch is going door to door, and your name has been said. With three old coins and a hungry walk ahead, get out under the gate, over the river and through the hedges, and find shelter in the hills before dark.

The Road to the Two Mountains

Carry for an expedition west across the desert before your water runs out, then east to a pass where a village needs a wall of iron built before the drums arrive.
