The Ancient Walls of Sauran

If you make it to Turkistan, there is no sense missing Sauran. While the old Silk Road City is mostly gone, its wall, still standing, certainly makes the place evocative. And it is only about an hour out of town, anyway.

As you can see from looking at the map below, there are lots of ways to get through town to M32, and then it is a straight shot, some 27 miles from the junction with M32 to the turnoff onto a dirt road to Sauran. The fortress is only a mile south of M32.
