The knights at the gates had thoroughly searched them before their group was allowed into the city. The two knights of House Snow had concealed their auras to the peak of Man-at-arms (Tier 1) and continued to carefully tread the busy streets of the magnificent city.
They had walked all the way, almost to the easternmost point of the city, where a rather large building came into view. This building was what the merchants had bought for the trading headquarters.
It was plain, with no decorations or anything, a blank slate. It had two floors, which was rare for a building in this part of the city. The only reason it had yet to be bought was its location. It was rather remote, and only a few merchants fancied their chances of being able to attract customers so far from the market square.
