Labyrinth, Under Dark Turas Lan was a feat of engineering to which the Knights Templar financed to complete what the Norman rulers had left unfinished in certain places. Because of them, Turas Lan is wide and vast, but all things must have foundations. The depths of the city are a labyrinth that twist from the base of the walls sloping down and turn over avenues that once housed the desperate poor, now holding the lowest whores, thieves, brigands,murderers and their accomplices. |
