Diverged from 4. Footway Robbery - Waelass

Andrea and Vala immediately proceed along the main ascent towards the sky docks thered to the main keep. The quality of construction and architecture improve noticeably with each ring. The third ring is packed tight with two and three story buildings. The second ring must be the dominion of successful merchants, knights (or their plainsdwelling equivalents) and lesser nobles. The buildings are wider, windows are lit and no fewer people walk these streets than the outer rings. There are Imperial soldiers in their battlefield uniforms scattered about with at least one standing guard at every villa. Andrea opts against lingering in the presence of so many potential foes. She presses on with an increasingly anxious Vala.

The brick ramp heading up to the first ring is laid in patterned waves and the stone lamp posts here disperse light and heat comfortably. Andrea is just about at the entrance to the Keep's courtyard when she come afoul more guards dressed as those at the gate. A burly fellow with a complex white tattoo across his face steps forwards to address the duo.

Face Tats-[Imperial]: "The lord is having no visitors this evening. 'Fraid thou must turn about and return to thy lodgings."

Between the high rising sentry towers and inner walls fortifying the first ring Andrea can tell there is some amount of movement way up there upon the pair of skyships docked against the smokematter moorings built atop the keep. The gate guard takes note of Andrea's gawking.

Face Tats-[Imperial]: "Yes yes the skyvessels are a splendid sight but ye ave no purpose here. The lord's gate is no place for starin."
