Which city is the most livable in the Kingdom of Traul?

The general consensus favored major cities like the capital, Calia, or a handful of other large urban centers. Recently, however, a new city had emerged as a hot topic.

The city of Noctar, once riddled with vagrants.

By all accounts, Noctar was a trash heap of a city, overflowing with drifters and outcasts. At first glance, it seemed absurd to think of it as a desirable place to live. But the world had changed.

Noctar was experiencing an unprecedented boom.

The drifters who once roamed its alleys now gripped pickaxes instead of rusty daggers. They had traded damp, narrow backstreets for small but well-kept homes.

The city bustled with activity day and night, radiating a newfound vitality.

The catalyst was the establishment of the Reaper's Trading Company.

Under the management of Deputy Merchant Narsha, an expansive network of trade routes was developed, bringing goods into the city. Utilizing elves and their spirit connections, the land was made fertile, creating jobs and opportunities for the populace.

To an outsider, it might look as though Narsha were a benevolent savior, rescuing a city and its people. But the truth was more nuanced.

"I can't let the master see such a wretched city."@@novelbin@@

Noctar had become the nest of the Reaper's Trading Company. Narsha found it frustrating that she had to host her master in a mere barony, but for now, she had no choice.

Replacing the local lord, founding a new city, or even establishing a kingdom—these were matters to be dealt with once Karami returned.

For now, Narsha was focused on building the trading company and preparing the city so that when Karami came back, he would find it clean and thriving.

If things continued as they were, the Reaper's Trading Company would soon stand as the continent's greatest.

This success was thanks in large part to the elves and their spirits.

"That's all well and good... but this is troubling."
