Once a month or two, the merchants from the villages from the Plains come here to sell their goods and buy another. If you got the right connections, you can buy almost everything in here...

Urgorian mechants came to the large square, filled with other merchants stalls... they knew that their goods are the most valuable ones - iron. Something that couldnt be found in many regions in the Plains, and urgor was greatly using this fact in its advantage by setting high prices for it.
Everything went as they expected, so far. The other people were looking on their goods with interest, there was everything from common tools to weapons... but not so many ones could afford to buy something. In fact, they awaited for arrival of Kinether, who usually bought almost whole shipment and then distributed it to those who needed it. And mostly to Nerai allies.
So here the "best client" came.
"Ilena, what will it be today, Kinether?" asked one of the merchants, spreading his goods on the table.
He stopped and looked on the offer. "Well... I guess today I will take it all."
"Really?" merchants eyes shined "Let me count how much-" he looked for a parchment.
"Im afraid Im not paying today." he replied calmly.
The merchant stopped. "What do you mean? is someone paying for you?"
"No... in fact Im afraid that you will get no money today?"
"What!" The merchant looked on his companions. "We are leaving, then!"
"I guess no..." he raised his left hands slowly and guards on horses appeared from the crowd around the stall, aiming on the merchants with their weapons, blocking any way from the square.
"What are you doing!!"
"Hm... lets say Im settling down the score for the debt your city has done to Flaion, if nothing else."
"What!"
"I see you dont know much about it... well Im not going to discuss it with you. I say: leave it all right here and get out from my sight!"
"But-!"
"Ive said get out of my sight! Or shall I help you with it? I guess city guards will be devoted to!"
With that the soldiers around rode a bit closer to the merchants, almost touching their faces by lances.
"Allright then, as you wish! But we will tell lord Kyrlon and then youll pay for-" they were slowly turning to run.
"Hush, I said!" he looked on the darkly.
That day Urgor merchants left the city and never returned back in here.

Lupin walks down the market place, he pulls his hood over his face so no one can see who he is, he has his weapons covered up as well. He looks around for either a weapon merchant or a tavern,

Together with the alarm sound of the horns, several guard riders came in hurry into the marketplace. It has been several years since something such happened... Nerai was under direct attack.
"Everyone, get your goods and run to hide! The city is under attack!" They were passing between the stalls while the merchants started to pack their things in a hurry... "The back gate of the city is still free, if anyone wants to leave, go to the north of the city, to the gateway of Derai road! Everyone, get out!"
They looked on several stalls "...and if theres anyone who wishes to contribute on the defence of Nerai, you got a chance. If there are merchants who are willing to give their weapons for the city in which they could rest, give it to us..."

"Do I ask too much in life? All I want is a strong whiskey, and what happens? The city is under attack!" Lupin whispers to himself
Lupin rushes over to a guard.
"Can I be off any use? I like fighting and I havn't soaked my blades in enemy blood yet."

The guard stopped and looked on Lupin, measuring him by eyes.
"I see. Youre fighting on your foot, right? Im not sure if you got any chance in the fight. Anyway... there are rumours of the elves appearing inside the city - and we need to hold them out. If you wish, you can try to help, but I would recomment you to go to the north with others."
After that he turned his horse and rode away.
((//Hey, if you decide to find someone to fight, I guess its yours and Adams thing now, I dont got much to do in this case... holding the walls.))

A White Blade was in the Market Place, and laughed silently to himself as he heard it, still concealed by his Elven Shadow Cloak. The perks of being a high-ranked White Blade where indeed useful here. Seeing little for him to do here, he searched the city for any groups of soldiers. Alone, he could likely kill a group, and that was when he was even visible.

Lupin stands out in the middle of the market place he could hear and see the gates being shut, he begins to put his swords down he dusts his hands in sand and says some words, he than picks up his scimitars and readies himself.
