The following morning, Alix and Draya make their way through Firion's bustling streets toward the esteemed Silvercrest Auction House. The establishment's grand façade mirrors that of the renowned auction house in Raltheon, suggesting a shared heritage. The building's marble columns and intricate carvings exude an air of exclusivity, hinting at the treasures within.
As they approach the entrance, two imposing guards in polished armor cross their halberds, barring entry.
"Apologies," one guard states firmly, his gaze assessing their attire. "Access is restricted to nobility and individuals of distinguished status. Today's auction is under the patronage of Prince Asdri and his esteemed companions; the items presented are of exceptional caliber."
