[Shell City] was known as the most neutral city.
And by that, it meant the most "normal" one.
There weren't giant towers piercing the sky, nor any architecture that made it stand out.
The architecture here was plain stone and brick, nothing that stood out.
To most players, it was a hub, nothing more.
But Stark knew better.
Because inside this unremarkable hub was one thing of real value: a quest that could make you stronger.
And he wasn't going to miss it.
Stark walked deeper into the city streets, boots echoing against cobblestone.
NPCs passed him by in the busier parts, but as he cut through smaller alleys, the noise died down.
Soon he found himself in a quieter section of [Shell City].
The air here felt still. At the far end stood a small cathedral.
Unlike the plain homes and shops scattered through the city, the cathedral's stonework was darker, weathered, and cracked.
Its windows were narrow and covered with grime, and its heavy doors seemed untouched for years.
