"Do you wish to head to my lady's, or would you like a tour of the city first?" Kristof, the centaur who had come to guide them, asked after giving everyone some time to get accustomed to the sights. 

"Can we go to my shop first?" Erik asked.

"Of course."

Kristof quickly ordered a coach for them, stating that their travel-worn carriage wouldn't be allowed inside the city. Thereafter he guided them through the city. Eldrian quickly noted the interesting way that the city had been organized. 

At first, he had wondered if the sheer spacing of the city wouldn't be a problem. Seeing how the market districts were organized in each neighborhood he quickly understood. Unlike the houses, the market buildings were compact.
