Quotes:
~It was probably a really dull place. Its capital city was Staturos, but Apic didn't know much about the place as he had spent most of his life in the port of Tullis on the west coast of Bellavia, and he would get all misty eyed when asked to describe it. It was a very busy place, by his account, and quite different from inland Bellavia. A hundred cultures met and traded here, and as a result it had a freedom about it that nowhere else in the world had, apart from some of the island kingdoms. Its streets were narrow, and the buildings tall, like Usak, but the streets were kept clean by the strict rules of the town council. There was a saying, that if you couldn't buy something in Tullis, you couldn't buy it anywhere. It thrived on trade, and the guildmasters of the town allowed the citizens every freedom, as long as it didn't conflict with their solemn, enshrined purpose of making money. As a result, the town was prosperous, and anyone with money could spend it all in any of the hundred taverns and brothels that littered Tullis like raisins in a particularly fruity fruitcake. It sounded a great place, and I agreed with Apic, that we would visit it at our earliest convenience.
~The town was very much as Apic had described it to me and I was quiet impressed, I seemed to remember being to Carcassonne in France, and it reminded me a bit of that. Narrow winding streets, with all sorts of wares being advertised for sale, and throngs of people all trying to barge past each other. It wasn't even as dirty as I thought a medieval town should reasonably be, although it was certainly smellier than any Scottish city I had ever been in, with the possible exception of certain parts of Glasgow.
~Apic led us directly to a tall house, with lanterns hanging outside and heavy green shutters on the windows. The door was open, and he walked in and gestured for us to follow him.From Island of Dragons:A tavern, named The Thirsty Dolphin, which faced out onto the docks of the port of Tullis in the country of Bellavia.
