Message: <blockquote data-quote="Knightfall" data-source="post: 8249198" data-attributes="member: 2012">Falen Arrives at the Gate of Scales:Falen passes through several inner gates until he comes to an area with a large building in the center of the ward. It apepars to be some sort of theater or gladiatorial arena, but he feels its probably the former. The lone guard at what he learned is called Little Arch informed Falen that it would be quickest to go through the Overgrown Gateway, then through the Gate of Scales, then through the Iron Gate to get to Regulars Ward."If you need to see Lord Commander Oakfirst," the guard had said. "You really should go to the barracks first and make a formal request. He's likely at the Tribunal in the Sublime Ward but I wouldn't bother him there unless its urgent."Falen leaves the large 'theater' behind and by the time he reaches the Gate of Scales, the number of people on the streets has almost tripled. He hears rumors that 'murderer on the loose has been caught' and 'a new group of heroes fought a band of invaders' and 'there are doppelgangers on the loose in Old City'. The throng half pushes, and half pulls him into a line being ushered through the gate by a single guard. The man seems to be on duty by himself, which seems odd.As Falen nears the guard, the man singles him out. "You there! Are you a visitor to Bluffside? What's your business in Old City?"A young nobleman tries to get the guard's attention. He calls the guard Mr. Roland and starts going into a long speech about local etiquette and lost wages. The guard rolls his eyes and tries not to smirk. He seems overworked and a bit bedraggled. He looks back towards Falen and smiles. "Never mind, just report in to the Palace if you have an official business with The Five. If you need a merchant's license, go to-"The nobleman steps in front of Mr. Roland and begins to berate the man. "You will not ignore me!""I was not ignoring you, my lord," he guard replies. "I was just giving some advice to this visitor to our fine city.""He can wait!" The nobleman looks at Falen with disdain.</blockquote>
