lyrics

His assumptions were confirmed many hours later, firstly by the direction of the lowering sun, and shortly after by the faint sounds of city life. The road had become stone, the vicinity was filled with the noise of farm animals and conversations he couldn’t quite make out. They passed under an outer gatehouse, and into further hubbub. Bells rang, blacksmiths could be heard at work, and rabbles of people conversed on every corner.

Cities had always made him feel uneasy, but there were certain grandiose qualities to them that had to be admired. On his last visit in the spring Dralden had been at most half the size. Now in such a short time it had grown dramatically; colourful multi-story households filled every street and marketplaces sprawled over every square.

When they eventually rolled to a stop, the door of the cart flung open and they were hastily ordered into a line on the cobbled side street. At least another two dozen people stood alongside him, maybe more, all of whom looked beaten and broken. Directly in front, a huge castle wall faced them, and behind that a polished stone keep, evidently another swift addition to this new grand city of the north. One by one they were forced through a small door in the wall and down some stone steps. Here, beneath the fortress, was an endless labyrinth of corridors, all filled with prison cells. The Wanderer was thrown in to the first empty one they came to, and the door slammed heavily shut behind him…
