Finding his way through the province, Darien finally discovered the base of the Honored Spire Guild.
He couldn't help but wonder if the path was tampered with magic because locating the base was difficult, even with the precise directions Harwin provided.
It looked like a castle, a fortress-castle, with three proud spires and a massive dome building to the right.
A monstrous gate sealed off the entrance to the wide edifice.
Two armed fellows manned the gate, and they denied Darien access even before he could ask for it.
"But I have a card from one of your captains. I'm not here to cause trouble," Darien fought back.
But they snapped at him, doubting his authenticity.
"That card could've been stolen by anyone, and we don't let strangers waltz in because of a piece of paper!"
But then, the sound of approaching footsteps drew the attention of the brawl.
From behind came three adolescent warriors, each clad in standard guild gear and armed with typical weapons.
