Lithralia Street
[Abu Hassan Ali ibn Bekar's Fineries] (a small striped tent)
A swirl of translucent fabrics, a hint of distant aromatic spices serve notice
to the exotic goods in this tent. Large stuffed pillows lie scattered about
the floor. They seem to animate in the flickering dance of a single torch,
suspended in an iron brazier from above. Abu Hassan sits immersed in his
own finery, watching his clerks transact business. You also see a sign, a
crystal rack with some stuff on it, a glass case, a tent flap and an inlaid
marble tripod with some stuff on it.

[Playarhin's Pits] (a low blue silk tent)
Underfoot, a luxurious layer of the finest pillowy white sand spreads softly
across the floor of Playarhin's quietly elegant sleeping-pit emporium. Hundreds
of tiny glass bulbs, each containing a vivid glowfly, depend from near-invisible
strands of silken thread ranged evenly around the walls, and cast a gentle
glow upon the merchandise. The proprietor, a dignified S'Kra Mur man with
highly-polished ebon scales, waits discreetly in a corner for the questions
of his patrons. You also see Playarhin.

if not for the rows of candles in ornate brass and copper stands that are
