A Dark Secret

After finishing work, Harvey didn't head home, nor did he head to the underground world where the others were for his meeting. Instead, he made a stop in a different place.

He found himself walking through a rougher area of the city. It was nothing like the world below. Instead, this was a place filled with guilds that took on all sorts of jobs.

Not all guilds were good, and not all guilds were public. If one wanted their hands on illegal enchanted items, medical-grade items, or other things, they needed a place.

No matter how good the world seemed to be, as long as there was a demand for something, someone out there would supply it, and this was true in Alterian as well.

The streets were littered with rubbish and filled with potholes. Even the sidewalk hadn't been repaired for what looked like years. However, there were certain entertainment establishments that looked more upmarket.
