238 Solace Hall

"Red Dangos for sale, 3 silver each! Get em fresh!" 

"Selling Preparatory Packets, 12 silver for two!" 

"Get yourself a Muric Herb, it's 20 silver, but will boost your mind power!" 

Dorian soaked in the yells and shouts of the busy street he was walking on, taking everything in. He kept his guard up as he moved, secretly scanning his surroundings. 

A smooth, grey stone-paved road spread out around him. The stores on this street were all lively and colorful, with clear glass windows and bright signs below blue or green tiled roofs. There was a certain festive echo in the air from the live music that serenaded the street, fluttering in the background as hundreds of passersby moved along the road. 

Humans, Shades, Aethmen, a veritable plethora of humanoid species walked on by, dressed in a wide assortment of clothes. 

Dorian had joined them in a plain, unassuming looking human form, blending into the wild crowd.
