So filled with people, the small town buzzes like a metropolis, and Talpharos finds himself getting a little lost as he wanders. He manages to get the layout of the town, from the important businesses to the landmarks like the palace and odeon, and various curiosities like a fighting competition set up by bored hunters, and an Eastern travelling merchant's shop, complete with strange goods, dancing girls and incense that hangs heavy in the air. By the time he's gotten a clear mental image of Calydon's capital, the sun hangs heavy in the air, the light going orange as it prepares to set.
