Trouble in Veldrath

As they arrived in the bustling city of Veldrath, the atmosphere shifted. The streets were packed with merchants, travelers, and city guards, the air thick with the scent of spices, roasted meat, and the ever-present hint of dust. It was a stark contrast to the quiet town they had just left. However, their destination was clear—the merchant they were escorting had business to attend to.

The group rode through the winding streets until they reached a large trading post near the city square. The merchant finally came to a stop in front of a lavish building, where a group of well-dressed men stood waiting. At the center of them was a rather pompous-looking man, dressed in fine silks and adorned with gold rings on each of his fingers. His presence alone screamed wealth and power, and the moment he saw the merchant, his expression darkened with irritation.
