She would always spurn his advances and flee down lanes and alleyways. Duygu always awoke, exasperated, before catching up to her. Despite having two wives and a harem of concubines, the viceroy felt he should have his way in his own dreams. Isane the Beauty recommended that he present himself as a commoner and try to win the heart of a lowborn woman. So in his idle time, Duygu donned a disguise and began exploring the alleyways of Jahur. He realized that the alleys around the central bazaar were the same as the ones the woman used to escape him in his dreams.Duygu began buying up the buildings along the alleys. He erected walls and iron gates in hope of cornering the woman in his dreams. But when he finished changing the alleys, the dreams stopped. To this day, he is frustrated that his quarry eluded him.Thieves and the heretical cult known as the Holy Fools take advantage of the alleys' dead ends and irrational turns. Cutpurses and cutthroats often elude watchmen by fleeing into the labyrinth. The Holy Fools use isolated courtyards as open-air meeting places.Connections-These alleys are rife with bucket kelp (26.33) chewers. Viceroy Harun, captain of the watch, has deployed undercover agents in the neighborhood in an attempt to identify major dealers.-Hypno (8.28) tries to prevent mortals from having recurring dreams.Hooks-Were Duygu's dreams sent to him by someone with an agenda?-How much influence does Isane the Beauty have over the Viceroys who seek her counsel?-Do Viceroys often pose as commoners? What shenanigans do they get into while trying to pass as porters, beggars or wallahs?-Who are the major players in Jahur's thieves' guild?</blockquote>
