☀️ Arselia and Akonia

—I was already starting to think that every path would now contain random events... It seems the city hasn't changed much since my previous trips. What's our plan, Sir Tyros?

- First, we need to secure the help of one of the locals. 

Tyros, Kiven, and Gidot head into the city, where they soon gain a new companion. His name was Shulpae, and he offered to use his home as a headquarters instead of paying for an inn.
