The night is cold and dry, a follow-up to the scorching sun of daytime that is typical of Osirion's climate. The Relic Knights cautiously wander through the streets of Wadjet's Walk.

This is a district populated by merchants, traders, and the wealthier artisans of Tephu, living in colorful riads with lush green courtyards and beautiful arched doorways. Others make do with simpler dwellings, generally mud brick or sandstone compounds and apartments. Mausoleums, souks, and even fortified communal granaries are crammed side by side with temples, small palaces, papyrus mills, and warehouses. Through it all flows the eponymous canal, wide enough to carry all but the largest vessels. In the distance, the group notices Muminofrah's barge, berthed at quay next to the Palace of Gentle Reeds.

The streets of Wadjet's Walk are mostly dark or empty, although the group encounter the occasional passerby or city guard patrol. Their map leads them to one of the more narrow streets, and after some searching, they find that their goal is what appears to be an old, abandoned well, closed with a rusting iron grate, chain and lock.
