While the two heads of Bluzand were dealing with company matters, Defi was experiencing what a main road was like in Ecthys. Surprisingly, the Tesorium was only a half-hour's walk away from Bolhaven Street, where the main Bluzand headquarters was situated.

There were fewer pedestrians on Vane Road than the side streets, and the large expanse of roadway was choked with conveyances of all sorts. The hooves of draft animals and summon-beasts struck up the dust from the stone-paved roads, but it was a different dust from the desert-adjacent cities he'd grown up in.

The main streets of Ecthys in the late afternoon were more crowded than earlier in the day, sweat and dust mixing with the faint smell of offal and river-rot. Defi wrinkled his nose briefly at the lingering malodor in the city air.
