With the arrival of the sun, the group continued on their way towards Highgarden. In the afternoon of that same day, without much difficulty, they found themselves near the enormous city. As they got closer, they could see a long line of carriages and people trying to enter the city for the annual festivities. The atmosphere was full of fun and celebration, with many people enjoying the day and some even visibly drunk.
Ethan and his group were overwhelmed by the excitement and festive energy that filled the air. It was evident that Highgarden was immersed in the joy and excitement of its annual festivities. However, they also knew that they had important matters to attend to, with determination, they moved forward in the entrance queue.
"Stop there! Who are you and what is the purpose of your visit to Highgarden?" - said one of the soldiers, approaching Ethan's carriage.
"Good afternoon, we are travelers looking to establish a business in the city. My name is Ethan Astaroth, my father served as a knight for the Tyrell family. We are here to participate in the festivities and contribute to the celebration.
The soldier quickly responded, while he checked the other carriages.
"I understand. Highgarden is full of festivities right now, and we must keep a record of all visitors."
The soldier proceeded to check the group's identification and, after a brief inspection, allowed them to enter the city.
"Very well, you are cleared to enter Highgarden. Enjoy the festivities and I hope you are successful in your business. Welcome!" - the soldier finished saying, moving out of his way.
The group thanked the soldier and moved further into the city, excited for what lay ahead for them in Highgarden and ready to begin this new stage of their journey and their plum vodka and beer business.
Highgarden, the home of House Tyrell and one of the most important cities in the Seven Kingdoms, left Ethan perplexed with the magnificence and beauty of it. The city was a true spectacle for the senses, and every corner was steeped in history and splendor.
High stone walls surrounded the city, providing a feeling of security and majesty. Towers and bastions stood proudly above the walls, giving Highgarden an imposing presence.
Inside the walls, the cobblestone streets were clean and well maintained, lined with stone houses with red and green tile roofs.
The buildings of rich families had intricate architectural details and windows adorned with stained glass that let in sunlight beautifully.
The city's gardens and parks were filled with carefully cultivated flowers and shrubs, creating an atmosphere of beauty and serenity in the midst of the bustling city. Fountains and ponds reflected sunlight and offered a resting place for visitors.
Highgarden was alive with the activity of the annual festivities. People mingled in the streets, enjoying food and drink, music and dance. Market stalls offered a variety of goods and gifts, and the aroma of culinary delights filled the air.
For Ethan, it was an impressive and captivating place. The magnificence of Highgarden was a reminder of the wealth and prosperity of the Reach region, and also a place where their business could flourish. With the city stretching out before him, Ethan was ready to begin this new phase of his life in this place of wonder and opportunity.
Knowing that they needed a place to stay and leave their belongings, Ethan began searching for an inn in Highgarden. The city was full of options for travelers, and it wasn't long before he found a suitable inn that offered accommodation and stables for his horses and carriages.
The inn was a three-story structure with a polished stone facade and ornate windows. As he approached, he could see a sign advertising available rooms and stable services.
Ethan and his group entered the inn, where they were greeted by a kind innkeeper who offered to help them with their needs.
"Welcome to the Garden Inn! How can I help you today?" - said the innkeeper with a smile.
"We are looking for accommodation for a week and a safe place for our horses and carriages. We have business to attend to in Highgarden." - Ethan answered kindly.
"Of course, we have rooms available and space in the barn. How many rooms will you need?"
Ethan thought for a moment before answering.
"Three rooms should be enough for us."
The innkeeper assigned them three comfortable rooms on the second floor and told them where they could park their horses and carriages in the adjacent stable. After completing registration, the group settled into the inn, ready to begin their stay in Highgarden and their next adventures in the city.
Once the group had dropped off their belongings in their rooms and secured the horses in the stable, they decided to head to Highgarden's main square to enjoy the rest of the afternoon and experience the town's festivities.
The main square was full of activity and excitement. Music and bustle filled the air, and the streets were decorated with flags and garlands that added a festive touch to the city. Market stalls offered a wide variety of products, from food and drink to crafts and gifts.
The group explored the stalls, sampling some of the local culinary delights and enjoying the music and dancing taking place in the square. The people of Highgarden were full of joy and hospitality, and Ethan and his group felt welcome in the midst of the celebration.
