There is a pathway along the wall on the side of the market. It is quite narrow although people use it because it is the quickest route to the tourist sector and the proximity to the barracks means there's less chance of getting mugged.
The real entrance to the market is in the south via the red light district.
Walking eastwards along the path you come to the mall. It was there that I walked. In the distance ahead of me I could make out the cathedral spires. It was cold because it morning.
Legend has it that in the days of the empire there were processions up and down this road every day at 12. But that was long ago. Now it is one of the unclaimed places in Storck - along with Garden of the Dead where the old sentinel is located - and the only thing living is the trees. They are old and spindly and look like they've been living on concrete but at least they are alive. Unlike the palace at the north end of the road which looks like it is, a shell.
Once you get across the mall things liven up a bit. Carriages appear and things are starting to kick into action. I'm going to the Golden Goose hotel for some breakfast.
Albert, the head waiter at the Golden Goose believes there used to be a statue of the Delphine in the square at the end of the Mall. Now it's just a hole in the ground.
