The City Lord of Twin Tower City had been on edge lately. He felt like he was caught between two opposing forces.
On one hand, an old worker from the Factory district named Mike had been constantly applying for a project—a job fair to promote employment for Tieflings—and wanted to temporarily use the city's main square.
Every day, the City Lord received proposals like this: some random person popping up out of nowhere with an absurd plan that looked like they'd come up with it on a whim.
Usually, he wouldn't even bother reading the contents of such plans, just glancing at the title before tossing them.
However, this one was different. It had an investor: the Zog Group.
The City Lord had no idea how much the Zog Group had invested in the matter, or how important it was to them.
This put him in a tough spot. The difficulty wasn't in how to refuse, but in not knowing what level of support to provide.
It couldn't be helped; the Zog Group paid an enormous amount in taxes.
