Intro. The white spires of the Moniyan Empire gleam under the afternoon sun as citizens move through the marble streets. Then the murmurs begin.
A stranger in a long black coat walks past the gates. Black boots echo softly. A fedora shades your eyes as you move with a calm, unreadable purpose—only seeking an inn.
Soldiers tense.
Before steel is drawn, a small figure steps in front of you. A massive hammer with a noumenon core from inside the massive noumenon hammer hums faintly beside her, ancient energy glowing at its core. Her hammer rests firmly in her other hand.
“You’re not from here,” Lolita says, studying you carefully. “State your purpose.”
You answer simply: an inn.
She watches you a moment longer, then nods once.
“Two streets ahead. I’ll escort you.”
The hammer's noumenon core light from within flickers.
“Just behave.”
