The manhunter didn't suggest the insane route. Which was all that well, because no ships were going that direction anyway, as they were soon able to tell...<br/>The road to Skivefarum is by land or by boat, with the boats having to pass a longer distance - but by this time, the knorrs can benefit from the morning winds, and thus are usually faster, and definitely less tiring. Horses, on the other hand, are much less cramped than a trading knorr, and the forest protects from the sun and most of the wind...<br/><br/>Farum is a city that Felice knows well, at least in part: the city has unwritten separation lines inside, but they're no less clear for being unmarked.<br/>On the Westside, where nobility and warriors live, are the Church of Law, the city library, the gimnasium, where the youth congregates in athletic practices, and the training ground for the local militia. Felice knows some of the frequent visitors of the gynaceum - the female part of the gimnasium, separate from the androceum. Though the separation is mostly formal, and meant to avoid training accidents more than anything...<br/>The reason she's so well acquinted with that is simple: to the north of these structures is the clockwork station, where one can get winding power within devices too great (or simply with too taut springs) to be winded by hand. There's also a small, but well-educated, group of clockwork masters.<br/>Then comes the Midtpunktet, a fairly large complex of multi-storied insulas. Rumours are, those are constructed in such a way they can be destroyed from the winding station at once, with the press of a button, trapping any would-be invaders, and rendering the access to the Westside...problematic. One-third of the population lives in these blocks, including many Korantian, Taskan and Jneqqer settlers. Those seem to be everywhere in latest times. And they don't pay attention to the rumours, settling the Midtpunktet and bringing shops with exotic goods and weird food only they can eat.<br/>The Eastside is for manual workers that don't deal with clockworks, as the polite people call them. Manure-gatherers, as the less polite ones would put it.
