Lively Gardens

Other than the markets and the commercial streets, pretty much everywhere in Alterra was filled with activity. This was the first time they could see the territory again while the sun was up in the sky. 

The feeling of seeing everything vibrant again was akin to the feeling of them just getting out of prison after a long, depressing, sentence. 

(Not that most people had experienced it, of course, but they had their imaginations…) 

Some people even gave out tofus to congratulate random passerbys for their newfound 'freedom'. 

Other places, like the gardens, were filled with people who were either going on dates or having picnics with friends and family. 

People hunted a lot during the night because there were few things they could do. Plus the time saved because there was always a nicely-sized mob coming by themselves allowed the citizens to meet the fighting requirements early and more.
