Causation

Leaving the guild with a cloak, I made a trip toward Crimson's Ward in search of one of the Redmane's most profitable shops, which seemed to be a smithy. I would have thought it would be alchemy since there was so much variety, but it seems like I was wrong. 

Due to the effects of Pills and Balms alongside the supply and demand of Blackpool, only a selected few can afford such things, usually cathedrals, kingdoms, cities, hospitals, or major mercenary groups. It's uncommon for commoners to purchase pills. That being said. According to Lily, with her infinite library of information, a pole showed over a billion pills being sold to commoners in a year. But most of what is being sold is Healing Balm, which is far cheaper than cultivation Balms. 

Weaving through the streets crowded with pedestrians; it wasn't long before I came upon the insignia of a red-mane lion baring its fangs over an extravagant-looking shop lined with gold and silver.
