Lind was not surprised that at the edge of the street where the crafting of weapons occurred, he found a massive fortress armed by swordsmen. Lind smiled as he saw the massive emblem of the Divine Sword Sect.
The guards were at low Gold Tier, but Lind did not doubt that they were the highest quality of that level. Lind bowed to them and Annabelle mimicked him. The 2 guards nodded back and Lind moved on.
They were now passing through what appeared to be more of inns and shops proper of the ward they were in. Rather than hawkers, it was just a natural flow of goods one would need to resupply for a journey like good, repair for saddle or tack, stables, etc.
Lind appreciated the efficiency that showed for Cimmeria. Many streets of merchants and vendors gave way to more modest but steady work for the everyday. The sheer volume was what made Cimmeria so economically impressive.
