You travel through the Great Market, passing the other Guilds. All kinds of things can be bought here... higher-quality weapons and armor, exotic goods from far-off lands, even magic items. You travel further, and are on Capital Hill proper. Guards watch you pass warily. You continue on, and are soon in the Commerce District. It is somewhat similar to the Great Market at first glance, but the business here is of a different nature... more services then goods, and much heavier on the administration. Of note are a large number of banks... and an equivalently large number of guards. You finally reach the Merchant's Guild, a grand building with a decorative balance outside, with a mountain of coins on one side, and a vast assortment of goods on the other. Many people are going in and out, through multiple entrances and exits.
 



The inside is busier then the out. Great lines of people waiting for dozens of different things are present... you notice one line for 'Job Applications: Mercenary', which is filled with a variety of men and women, each looking dangerous... in their own ways. Mighty warriors and scholarly mages alike wait in line for an interview.
