The Kytar Barracks
  You are in the recruits' latrine of the Kytar Barracks.  There is a
wash basin here, for cleaning off the sweat and grime of a hard day's
training, and a sheet of silvered glass, if you need to shave.  Behind
you is a stack of chamber pots.  Prepare yourself well, but don't linger too
long here.  Your drill instructors are waiting and they HATE to be kept
waiting.   
Obvious exits: s
     There are some graffiti notes scribbled on one of the walls.

You have discovered Kytar University!
You gain some worthwhile experience.

Merchant Road East
  This wide road rests smothered by the shadow of towering stone buildings.
The cold and uninviting granite blocks of this road rest seamlessly
together, smooth and undecorated.  Absent merchant carts crowd this road's
edge, the hushed and solemn path reminiscent of a military parade road held
in order and waiting.  Windows and doorways are decorated boldly and
brightly with advertisements, breaking the monotony of one cold stone
building after another.  The chain-hung signs above the doors, while waving
their owner's craft proudly, are similarly condemned to nothing but a
muffled whisper.   
   It's raining lightly, mild, and there is a gale blowing.

Lady Cecilia's Lutes & Harps
