"The old city of Thalab. It's roots stretch as far back as verifiable history would allow. It's name etched there in the archaic books and maps of the ancient world. And even back then, the city was more often than not called the Old Merchant. A form of endearment for those who hailed the metropolis home, even to this day, while simultaneously serving as derogatory term as well, venting the envy of those who coveted it's wealth and prestige. The title also stood as the best example for the strong mercantile spirit the city has always possessed, as well as it's long history, which was deemed old even by the ancient people's of the time." Nizam spoke rapidly and efficiently, as though he was reciting from a book, which he most likely was, giving an extensive overview of just about everything regarding Thalab in response to Eve's many questions.
He also seemed to be enjoying himself quite a bit as well.
