Summary

An Unnamed Human Merchant, introducing himself as Goeln of Goeln's Caravans, arrived in Liscor. He engaged in conversation with a local Unnamed Drake Trader, discussing the perils and geography of moving goods between northern and southern Izril. Their discussion highlighted Liscor's strategic importance as a chokepoint, as well as the immense dangers posed by the High Passes, the Bloodfields, and roaming monsters when traveling to destinations like Pallass or Hectval.

Meanwhile, Erin Solstice and Gazi navigated the streets of Liscor, making their way to the Adventurer's Guild. Gazi's heavily armored and imposing presence drew significant attention from the locals. Once inside the Guild, they approached the front desk where Selys was working. There, Gazi finally removed her helmet, exposing her face and revealing herself to be a Half-Gazer, a rare hybrid species possessing multiple magical eyes.

The unmasking brought Gazi's true identity to light. She was recognized not only as a Named-rank adventurer but as a figure of living legend. Gazi was revealed to be one of "The Seven," an elite cadre of immensely powerful vassals who serve the infamous King of Destruction. Her sudden appearance in a relatively quiet city like Liscor left the Guild stunned.

Elsewhere, deep within the subterranean hive, the Antinium Queen held an audience with one of her Prognugators. During this meeting, the Queen officially bestowed the name Ksmvr upon him. She tasked Ksmvr with managing the Antinium's affairs on the surface and assigned him the critical mission of hunting down dangerous rogue Antinium known as Aberrations.
