The hustle and bustle of city life bristled throughout Erlenbis. With nobles or merchants alike astride their proud horses, or lounging within a couch, shifting down avenues packed full of creatures of numerous races. Humans arguably made the largest group of inhabitants of the city. However, the surface races were not the only ones to be found there. 

One lithe cloaked figure glided through the noonday sunshine's oppressive heat, moving as if always cloaked in shadows, though the place had few, and as if even the ever present dust of the road could not touch her. The open market was crowded—it was always crowded—with yelling merchants and customers bargaining for every copper piece. There thieves would be positioning themselves in all the best and busiest places, where they might cut a purse string without ever being noticed, or if they were discovered, where they could melt away into a swirling crowd of bright colors and flowing robes. Aliaga A'Daragon made sure to note any thieves clearly but just then something within the towns square pulled at her curiosity. 

The bustling towns center at that moment seemed to be peeking the interest of others as well. So she nimbly danced through the crowds of the open market with practiced ease. There she soon discovered the reason for the gathering of the crowd and scowled under the shadow of her cowl. Standing upon a cart was a human male voicing human superiority among other propaganda. Aliaga only shook her head in wonder. The audaciousness of the male was truly surprising, and once more Aliaga was reminded once again how different the surface societies where to the dark realm that was her home. She soon made it a point to become scarce, pulling her cloak closer around her form as she made a beeline to the north street. She wore more clothing then was her typical style, but purely out of practicality. She would rather not drew attention to her presence. Which her coal dark skin and pointed ears surely would. 

She crossed the busy avenue, heading for a small tavern that served as the locals main drinking hole. As it was a stopping point for many crossing through the region it served as her best place to start looking for the artifact.
