Most Palladians steeds come from Astwick."<br/>Brother Rufus shot Juris a smile and continued.<br/><br/>"They are a wonderfully inventive people too, the Astwinians. Why they invented the first crossbow. And I even once met a man from there with a device he used to tell the time even more accurately than our fair city gates. Although one should always keep a close eye on his, or her, purse in their cities."
