There were areas where buildings made of stone lined the streets and there were areas filled with nothing but wooden ones. The cobblestone street was full of so many twists and turns that it was difficult to see where it led.

Now and then, a stench that might have been human waste filled their noses, but after a while of walking no one seemed to notice it anymore.
