The City of Tears (Part 2)

When Kaizen noticed the figures approaching the shore with their lamps, he knew what he had to do.

After recovering from the initial shock of the fall, Kaizen thought rationally, dove into the lake, and swam at intervals to a part of the shore that looked more like an outlet from the city sewer than a beach, where he managed to pull himself out of the water. Even though he was panting and shivering with cold, he didn't allow himself to stand still for a moment. He immediately looked around and officially entered the city after jumping over a wall, and he soon saw that the city was a labyrinth of narrow streets and dark alleys, where magical merchants and mages of various races mingled in an atmosphere that was fun and tense at the same time.

There were dwarves, humans, halflings, drow, and even tieflings, all speaking to each other naturally. This was a multiracial city.
