In the Registration room of Lothmire City, after enduring a series of inquiries from the guard, Maximus was finally presented with an identity token.
"Here's your identity token, sir," the guard said, producing a freshly minted token.
Examining the token, Maximus found nothing out of the ordinary—it merely recorded his soul and mana signature, along with basic information.
"This token is necessary for accessing any establishment within the arcane continent, but in the wilderness, it's not required," the guard explained.
Maximus understood that this token essentially served as an identification device.
The guard escorted him out of the room, and at last, Maximus stepped foot inside the vibrant city of Lothmire.
As he breathed in the mana-infused air, he sensed its potency, surpassing that of the sunburnt plateau he had previously inhabited.
