[ Exploring the town that sits beneath the towers of Castle Thorne is the natural next step in Thancred's efforts to learn as much as he can about this place and his supposed reason for being summoned here. It is in many ways far more familiar to him, the marketplace in particular reminding him of both Hawker's Alley and the Sapphire Avenue Exchange. Save for the weather, that is. There's no salty sea air or dry heat to be found here.
Yet the persistence of some of the merchants and the snake oil they seek to sell is all familiar enough to him, and he knows better than to give any one stall too much notice.
