Almost invisible in the darkness, the massive stones of the Northwest Gate rise up in the night to mark the end of Market Road. The outline of guards walking their rounds on the platforms high above can be seen as they pass near torches. A few tired travelers still stagger in from the wilderness beyond, obviously anxious to be done with the day's business.
