Ruby Palace
-----
Although the Ruby Palace City was known for its strong warriors and powerful nobility, this wasn't the same thing for almost the 99% of the population, who all lived on terrible poverty. While the rich merchants that made up the nobility gobbled up every single resource imaginable and left not even crumbs left for the people, everyone else either had to starve to death or fight monsters to earn a penny.
And well, there were also those in between, that dedicated themselves to do another thing… Crime. From stealing, to robbing, to falsifying trade documents by pretending to be merchants, to even scams, anything went if you wanted to live and eat a piece of bread and drink a cup of goat milk the next day.
"Hahh… Ugh… Ungh!"
And some people would usually go a bit farther than just some bread and milk every day. Some would want more than that, a feast.
"Hey! You damn bitch! Come back right here!"
