Damien made it back to Arulion as soon as he left the palace and found himself a place to stay. The money he used was…well, a very well-made counterfeit, but that was beside the point.
He wasn't in the same city he found after being transported here by the Dark God. The citizens there didn't know much, but they knew the rough map of their own lands.
That city was on the periphery of the kingdom. It was one of the places with the least contact with the true draconic lineages, and thus, it was useless for Damien's current quest.
Katya had told him in the past. The Dragon Clans that led the rest were not friendly to those with thin dragon lineage.
There was a requirement for people to even enter this land, and once they were here, if they weren't up to par, they'd be forced to the edges of the kingdom to live with other dragonkin.
