When you rode near Tradnod you remarked that it was a pleasant city. Oh it was far smaller than Briberopolis of course, and less official in it's architecture, half timbered houses were hidden behind white walls here, and strange blue tiles covered the roofs. On the other side Tradnod was bigger than Pleasantville and it's buildings more grand. In your estimations, and with the rumors that you had heard you could estimate the population of the Capital, Briberopolis, to 100 000 inhabitants, roughly half of Paris, it was a huge city, Pleasantville was a decently sized town of 3000 people and here you thought that Tradnod had perhaps a bit more than 10 000, 12 000 maximum. You remarked the numerous and brightly coloured tents that were being installed around the city and the jousting lists that were being built. Several knights were already here, with their squires and their servants. It almost filled your eyes with tears of nostalgia for your time in Paris, or in Provins and Reims and all the tournaments that you had participated in, or even seen. Since you were a little kid you loved tournaments, furious melees where knights fought in mock battles and where men were paraded in their most beautiful armors and tabards before being unhorsed by a mace blow. The sounds of the horses, the cheers of the public, the beautiful ladies on the stands. Aaaah, it was marvelous. You wanted to take part in it.
Still, you were at the end of the afternoon and had to decide where to go first in this new and very sympathetic city. With a tournament you feared that all inns would be full and the castle, with it's white towers, too. Curiously the smell of the spring flowers covered the most unpleasant smell that many cities had. It was very agreeable, especially when the southern wind brushed your face. Still, you had something to do so you choose first to...
