A Tossed-Out Mage

A group of dusty "adventurers" had arrived at the city beneath Longwind Peak, White Maple Leaf City.

Adventurers were a common sight there, and as the biggest human settlement on the plains and as the only stop before the Longwind Peak tunnel, White Maple Leaf was the place where travelers going north or south would pass through. The travelers included scholars from the plains, demihuman merchants from the mountains, adventurers or mercenaries from the White Mountain region, and even the hermits as well as druids dwelling within the deep forest of Longwind Peak. Many travelers in different shapes and forms would pass through the city, searching for wealth or knowledge. That allowed both wealth and knowledge to circulate day and night within the ancient city.

As a result, even oddly-dressed demihumans or armed mercenaries would not look out of place even if they went in and out of the city boldly—as long as they did not go looking for trouble.
