And why the old guys are always\nweeping into their matte down at the cafes on the river.\n\nDistinction between Maxellindis and Syntyche is sorta trivial in this\nparticular application.\n\nBack to the city itself: \"Old\" Citadel implies a newer one (I'd call\nit the Citadel of the Archon).  Notice the starting point for \"The\nMap\"--they are over on the west bank!  Wha-hoo!  Land of the lion pit\nand the statue of Night atop the khan!  Or maybe just a bit south of\nthat.  There's a wharf, and near the wharf is an inn called Cygnet,\nand a few blocks inland from there is a goldsmith at the sign of the\nOsela.  Well then, what to call this quarter?  \"Birdland\"? \"Maestus\nQuarter; the melancholy place where dreams die, just this side of the\ngrave\"?  \"Treasure Of Sierra Madre\"? <g>\n\n=mantis="
