The city, overall, is quiet. However, there's an odd, dark undertone. As a mage more attuned to the less bright side of magic, you find your senses tingling. Something is here, and it's giving off enough of a dark aura to feed an army of demons. Whatever this thing is, you're confident of two things. It's really, really evil, and it's powerful enough to mess with the fabric of reality. The place is practically swarming with Susuwatari, feeding off the background energy that this thing radiates, and you find that you could relatively easily amass a substantial force based on this city alone.

Xerxes laughs with joy, a feeling of pleasure sweeping through his body. "Aahh, beautiful!" He exclaims, sighing happily before getting back to business. He would find out what made this place so deliciously evil later, but right now he would need to gather Susuwatari. So, that's what he did. He tried persuading them, gathering them up, using anything to make them go to his side. After a while, he had gathered a large group of Susuwatari, which made him giggle with glee. Now to find the source of what is giving off the dark aura. Xerxes tries to pinpoint the area where it's gathered the most, exploring every area in his reach. Hopefully, one of these areas had whatever was radiating this aura in it.
