Alisaire & The Guard Captain
This is just a fun little snippet from Ta'Illistim during the eastern part of the Griffon Sword Saga. I had been reading the latest Elanthian Journal and was hanging out to get news on any of the latest developments. The Guard Captain NPC kept walking in and out on us.

[Ta'Illistim, BriarStone Court]
Ringed by stone buildings, the view afforded is one of the bustling heart
of Ta'Illistim. The center of the court is a bustle of activity, as throngs
of citizenry and travellers pass through the western center of the city
on their way to various destinations. You also see a pale golden margay
and a wooden barrel.
Also here: Juspera who is sitting, Mnar who is sitting, Alisaire, Lord Rekarth,
Lady Aramana who is sitting
Obvious paths: north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west,
