As Luke stood at the trade stop with Mayor Sherman, he couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency regarding his quest. They were here to find a rider or merchant travelling to Admiral, the next stop in his journey toward Virencia. Mayor Sherman, ever the helpful host, had taken Luke under his wing, leading him to the bustling hub of Esbakan's trade. The city's relatively quiet nature meant that most travellers here were passing through, not staying long, and Luke hoped they'd find someone heading to Admiral soon.
Before long, Mayor Sherman called out to an older man standing by a stack of crates.
"Victor!" he shouted, and the man turned with a friendly, weathered smile. Approaching him, Mayor Sherman introduced Luke to Victor, explaining that he was the overseer of the trade stop.
After the brief introduction, Mayor Sherman excused himself, citing other matters he needed to attend to, but reassured Luke with a pat on the back.
