[h3]Falke, East Shopping District[/h3]	

	From within the great walls of Falke, the sky above the city becomes a framed painting of the heavens, today the clouds largely overcast with a few patches of blue poking out from between the gray. The main streets having quieted down since the morning, droves of people gather at the various markets scattered throughout the city. Brightly coloured banners and lamps decorate the roads leading between these bazaars, guards armoured in yellow and blue patrolling the side streets in pairs as the citizens went about their day. On one such side street, a knight in shimmering armour hastily marched from block to block, occasionally approaching one person or another to ask directions before moving on.

	"You there," the knight called out for the fifteenth time that day, walking up to an older gentleman with a cane. "I seek information regarding the whereabouts of an ancient artifact. Where might I find such a thing?" Calieo inquired, pointing her shielded arm towards the stranger as she drew close.

	"Beg yer pardon?" the old man replied, his eyes on the blade the knight had strapped to her arm. He stopped walking once the two of them were close enough to speak, and briefly eyed up whomever this person was while she began to talk again.

	"I seek information regarding the whereabouts of an ancient artifact," Calieo repeated, speaking far slower this time and overemphasizing her pronunciation, "Do you know where I might find such a thing?" Her tone carried an air of irritation, and impatiently she began drumming her fingers near where her mace hung from her waist.

	"Have you tried searching the markets? Just follow the banners, you'll find one, easy," the old man replied, grinning from beneath his whiskers as Calieo snorted in frustration. 

	"The market, try the markets, have you tried the markets?" Calieo mimicked in a mocking tone, pushing past the old man and resuming her march through the streets. She'd already been to two of these marketplaces and had no luck at either, everyone there trying to sell some form of useless material possession. It was the only answer she seemed to be getting however, so with a defeated sigh Calieo changed her path once again to start following a street decorated with purple and yellow. It hadn't taken the knight long to figure out these markets were all recognized with a different kind of banner, the streets leading to each decorated respectively with some roads having as many as five different kinds. She'd already been to the purple market, so she headed in the direction of the yellow decorations with the hopes that she'd find something useful this time.
