Cali-Arches:

The many-arched grey stone bridge that serves as the major crossing point of the Tirijoko river, in Nautilus. The Cali-Arches are roughly 70 years old. It was constructed after the previous bridge collapsed and washed away in the great flood of that year. As bridges go, the Cali-Arches are quite impressive, if not massive. At the point where the bridge is constructed, the Tirijoko river is about 300 feet wide. The brige length is nearly 450 feet. It extends some way on both ends into town, to accomodate any slight shifts the rivers course might take. The bridge is raised 6 feet above the prominade that leads into it. This raise is to give a good view of town, from the bridge. The bridge consists of 9 arches of grey stone. It took 2 years to complete and is wide enough to carry wagons both ways accross, simultaneously.

Alders' Apothecary:

The shop faces the Cali way. There is a leaning willow tree right by the door. Rumour has it that this was planted by Alder himself, when he first opened the Apothecry almost 50 years ago. The tree in itself is not un-usual, since most of the Cali-way is lined with trees, but it is the only willow tree in town, by all records. Inside the shop is mostly dark and gloomy. The front door has a think runny glass-pane window.The windchimes indie and above the door alert the occupants of a new arrival. There are herbs and cures of all shape, size and description, hanging from the stacked shelves. Elsewhere there are dozens off boots crammed cover to cover, think with dust. Some with fingermarks, as if someone recently browsed for a tittle. To the left, as one enters, there is a narrow wooden staircase that leads to the second storey. The living area is located there, and iss offset somewhat from the shop, so that half of it rests atop a neighbouring shop. The living are has only a single set of small blue glass windows facing towards the Cali-way. The other windows all llok out towards the back of the shop and the little garden. One can catch glipses of the ocean through the other buildings.

Shara's house:

A poor house, located on the Willow way, on the north bank of the Tirijoko river. Constructed of wood, the house is warm enough in winter to afford Shara what little comfort she can afford in winter. Shara lives alone and has no family that she ever speaks of. From her kitchen window, one can just see past the Cali-Arches and get a glimpse of Temple-Isle.

Josida's forge:

Located a goodly walk from the north shore of the Tirijoko river, the forge is situated in an aptly named side-street called Muddy-lane. Pressed in on both sides by the "Paupers Market", the forge sees quite a lot of bussiness, albeit mostly tinkering work.

Destiny Hill:

So called because of the legends that circulate about savants and sorcerers who used to use the high flat top to do astrological divination rituals, requiring a good view of the whole night sky.

Destiny Hill is the large hill that stands on the Eastern side of Nautilus. Its somewhat unnaturally flat top provides Nautilus with its distinctive profile, when viewed from the Harbour. The richer residential areas are all on the lower slopes of Destiny Hill, with the best view in town taken by the Keline Manor - home of the ruling patrician family.

If one had to walk up the hill starting at the harbour, the hill would rise gently at first. For the entire breadth of the town, from the Port to the town wall above the Keline Manor, about half a mile, the slope rises to just high enough for the Keline Manor to get an unobstructed view of the whole town and harbour and much of the bay, but still only about 30 yards above sea level. Once on the other side of the town wall, the slope begins to rise very steeply - almost too steep to walk up. And the scree that covers this part of the slope makes it almost impossible to climb. In this manner, the slope rises for only another 40 yards before it reaches the bottom of a cliff.

The very top of the hill is characterized by a large lip of rock that rises almost vertically all the way around, forming a 20 yard high cliff-face that makes it totally impossible to actually reach the top of Destiny Hill without proper climbing equipment and much skill in climbing. And the gentle hills and forests that constitute the rest of the regions natural environment make skilled climbers not a very common thing in Nautilus.

In fact, even if there were any proficient climbers, it would be severely frowned upon were anyone to attempt to get to the top. Because it is commonly held by the people of Nautilus that heretical sorcerers used to meet atop the hill to perform their dark astrological rituals to manipulate the destinies of their enemies and steal away the fates of those high born. Thus it was that only children could be found sometimes making daring dashes up the far side of the hill, which has a much gentler forested slope than the Nautilus side.

But even on the other side of Destiny Hill, the cliff-face keeps all from discovering the secrets hidden on top.

To the inhabitants of Nautilus, Destiny Hill has always been simply a strangely shaped hill at the end of the range of hills, in whose shadow the town shelters. Despite the generations of evil rumours and dark legends regarding the hills uses or history, its history and use is in fact for more interesting.

At the end of the First Age, when the Dragon-Blooded rose up against their rightful masters, the Solar Exalted died in great numbers under treacherous blades. But some managed to escape.

One circle of Solars fled across the Blessed Isle towards the western shores. Some of their number fell, in order to give the others a chance. Finally, the last two, husband and wife, Noral Aylina and King Hyperion, fell to the legions that pursued them, on the western shores of the Isle, next to what was then a sleepy fishing village.

Then, using great sorcery, their best friend, Strega Korsis, Chosen of Mercury, raised up a mighty stone mausoleum, next to the small village. He placed the bodies of his friends within and sealed it until the coming of a new age, when they would be reborn. Strega Korsis settled in the fishing village and watched over the tomb. And slowly over the centuries, the great stone construct was worn by weather and covered with soil until all that was left were the legends and stories born of the ancient Exalt's visits to the tomb and allowed by him to obscure the truth of Destiny Hill. An Age later, Strega Korsis was there to aid the next incarnations of his friends, Delenor and Dante, if only for a short time.

Caliopian Foothills:

Run eastwards getting bigger and bigger until the Calipi Mountains

Notes: The ocean depicted on the map doesnt actually open up to wide ocean. The bay is very deep and narrow (almost like a fjord) and the exit for the bay is actually to the north. There is a fishing village on the opposite side of the bay, West Cove, and it is clearly visible in the day time. The top of the map is north.

Scale: The town is about 2 miles in length from gate to gate.
Population: 10 000
