[hr]
In the past, a few wayfarers having a little duel or fight in the middle of a town center wouldn’t have amounted to much of anything. 

It was a pretty common occurrence in online games where “pvp” was something you toggled for one reason or another. However, the world of Aetheria had changed since the glitch in many ways and much like those ways another one seemed to turn up at the worst possible time. As Graves admitted defeat and the group of wayfarers finally easing up a loud whistle screeched across the city streets and before the group could realize it they were surrounded by armed denizens and one particularly angry one at the center of the sizeable group.

By all obvious appearances the group were, well, they were [i]the city guard[/i]. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to do the obvious math that fighting in the streets had been reported and they were carrying out their investigation.

To anyone who had spent enough time in Thorinn doing busywork, or particularly knew any snippet of the lore, the one who spoke was Lendie Everrandis, the leader of Thorrin’s city watchmen and in the past, general quest-giver for new and intermediate players who chose the city as their home. She was not a denizen who had much of a… sunny disposition.
