Chapter 1.37
A human merchant arrives in Liscor, highlighting the city's strategic importance for trade across Izril. Meanwhile, Erin and Gazi visit the Adventurer's Guild, where Gazi reveals her identity as a Half-Gazer and a legendary Named-rank adventurer. Deep within the hive, the Antinium Queen names Ksmvr and tasks him with hunting rogue Aberrations.
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.

“Not much call for trade overland. The only one I could think who'd even make the journey is…the Silver Trader. I heard she might be heading north, because of her family.”
“Do I have to find a place to get rid of them after you're done? Because I really don't want to have to dig a hole, and the nest is far away.”
“It is hard to understand, I suppose. But I believe your friend Relc enjoys the quieter moments. Anyone can tire of war. Believe me.”
“I don't want them. But you might have a tough time getting them down. None of the Workers want to go near them.”
“They're piled up in a cart. I saw them—over sixteen adults, dead and covered in soot. The Watch is trying to get some Workers to unload them, but there's a huge crowd in the way, and the Workers don't want to do it.”
“How did you—you know they swarm over anyone that falls into their nest and tear them apart, right?”
“U-um. You wouldn't happen to be—I mean, are you…?”
“Erin, how did you kill a nest of Shield Spiders? Even if you burned them, most adventurers would rather run than pick a fight with a Shield Spider if they're not Silver-rank or higher.”
“I fear we must part ways for a time, Erin Solstice. I must greet the master of this guild and the local ruling body. But I hope I may visit you at your inn for your promised meal.”
