Before our kitting out could even begin, we swiftly go back to Broderick's mansion and don our masks and robes, since we are likely going to be buying some standout items, thus it would be for the best if no one sees our faces while doing so.
As we walk down the bustling streets of the city, the sun begins to dip below the horizon, casting a warm, amber glow on the polished cobblestones beneath our feet. The market district is still alive with activity, though the pace has slowed as the day winds down.

We pass by several impressive-looking shops as their storefronts showcase finely decorated weapons and armor behind pristine glass windows. But despite the allure, we continue down a narrow, less-traveled path.
