{"type":"location","location":{"title":"The Causeway to Tenochtitlan","description":"You stand upon the great causeway that stretches across Lake Texcoco, the capital city of Tenochtitlan rising before you like a dream carved from stone and water. The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the white limestone beneath your feet. Your feet ache from months of travel through distant lands, and your back is heavy with the weight of your merchant's pack—filled with exotic feathers, cacao from southern territories, and trade goods that will fetch good prices in the great market.\n\nBut heavier still is the weight of what you have heard. Whispers from the coasts. Strange tales from merchants who travel farther than most dare. Rumors that the priests do not yet know, or perhaps do not wish to know.\n\nAhead, the city sprawls in all its glory: the twin temples of the Templo Mayor piercing the sky, smoke rising from distant braziers, the sounds of thousands of voices carried on the wind. To your left and right, the waters of the lake shimmer. A few other travelers share the causeway with you, but most give you little notice.\n\nYou must decide what to do first. The Tlatelolco market still thrives with activity, but perhaps there are other places to go—places where information flows more freely than goods.","suggestedActions":["Head directly to the great market at Tlatelolco to sell your goods and gather news","Make your way to the House of the Pochteca to report to your superiors","Seek out a familiar informant or contact you know in the city","Visit a pulqueria (tavern) to listen to what the common people are saying"],"conversation":"a938of4tnefa6f68o3a2fn"},"conversationLength":1,"maxFreeConversationLength":10}
