Alzar hears more from the nearby folks about the two factions. Radu controls the waterfront and docks and run import/export shipping. They have a lot of money and influence. Torenescu controls the noble section and the old nobility. They are wealthy old wealth. The Vorloi, who were the men in green, are the newest house in town, and they have built a strong foundation very quickly in the merchant district. They have their own merchant fleet despite Radu’s control over that area, and fight against the old nobility of Torenescu. They have strong contacts in the military.
Alzar finds a room but it’s crowded because of the festival. There is just one private room, and it’s quite expensive for 5 gold crows. It supposedly comes with a bath, and Alzar laughs when he sees the “bath” is a barrel of water, cold, and his bed isn’t not even off the ground.
During the evening, the center room is crazy. An older distinguished gentleman tries to get Alzar to sign his name on a paper agreeing to work for him ,but Alzar was having none of that. He retires to his room to sleep, and then wake up and get ready for anew day, and try to find the shops he is looking for.
