Description summary:
The description depends on the values of 
The Rose-Red Streets, 
Attar and 
Arbor: Permission to Linger.
| The Rose-Red Streets | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | This northermost point of Far Arbor is a place of relaxation and repose for the Far-Arbori. Elegantly dressed notables play elaborate card games on the terraces, while a few carefully selected Near-Arbori water roses that they cannot see. […] |
| 2 | This northern district houses the Forbidden Embassy. (..) Huzzite guard watch the Embassy closely. The Edifice of Lies, Far Arbor's great library, stands a few streets away, open to hordes of scribes and scholars. |
| 3 | Far Arbor is resplendent in vast, impossible architecture. Towers soar high above even the tallest buildings of Near Arbor; palaces stand three times as large […]
Here, at the heart, the city fortifies itself against its new horizons. […] |
| 4 | Here, […] the Queen's Conquered Gardens sprawl. Far-Arbori walk through the humid glasshouses, dallying amidst the hot-house flowers.
Water, diverted from the bloody, red river that coils through the city, trickles through the lawns. […] |
| 5 | This is the summit of Far Arbor, where the palace of the Roseate Queen stands. […]
Visitors are permitted into the lower levels […]. The Queen keeps to the upper galleries […], where she might supervise the continuous redesign of her residences.[…] |
| Attar | Description |
|---|---|
| 5+ | Attar obscures your vision. Near Arbor is hazy and far away. When you close your eyes, you can make out another city, grander and more beautiful. |
| 4 | You rub your eyes and your fingers come up red. Attar rings your eyes like kohl. |
| 3 | Your lashes are clogged with perfumed dust: you have collected much Attar. |
| 1 - 2 | Attar has found its way into your lashes. |
| 0 | The last of your Attar spills from your eyes in a thin, desolate trickle. |
| Permission to Linger | Description |
|---|---|
| 2-7 | You have permission to stay in Arbor for some time yet. |
| 1 | Your time in Arbor is slipping away. |
| 0 | Your time in Arbor has come to an end. Perhaps you'll return in dreams. |
