{"type":"location","location":{"title":"The Harbor of Caffa","description":"You dismount from your horse at the bustling harbor of Caffa, a cosmopolitan trading port on the Crimean Peninsula. The salty sea breeze mingles with the scent of exotic spices, leather, and fish. Merchant ships from Venice, Genoa, and distant lands rock gently in the harbor. The docks are crowded with traders, laborers, and travelers from a dozen nations—some speaking tongues you barely recognize.\n\nBut something is wrong. Fewer merchants than usual line the quays. Some stalls stand abandoned, their goods left to rot in the sun. You notice several traders wearing cloth masks over their faces, an unusual sight. Whispers of sickness ripple through the marketplace, though most seem to dismiss it as rumors.\n\nYour leather satchel contains an important message for the Khan—one you've ridden hard across the Silk Road to deliver. But word from fellow couriers speaks of a strange illness spreading through the ports. The harbor master's office stands to your north, the main bazaar stretches to your east, and weathered caravanserais line the streets to your west where merchants lodge.","suggestedActions":["Question merchants at the docks about the strange sickness","Visit the harbor master's office for information and safe passage","Explore the main bazaar to gather supplies and news","Head to the caravanserais to find other couriers and traders","Investigate the abandoned merchant stalls"],"conversation":"vprckd78rtsd878aqmbzyq"},"conversationLength":1,"maxFreeConversationLength":10}
