Merchants call out their wares and try desperately to get the attention of the wealthier passerby. People from all over the world hustle to and fro, some keenly eyeing the many tapestries, spices, tools and foods, others openly staring in wonder. Still others hurry along, heads down and avoiding eye contact. Colors, smells and sounds assault the senses. The cries of the gulls can hardly be deciphered from the chatter of the crowds, the ringing of the blacksmith's hammer, the bells of the nearby shipyard, and the hollers of the merchants.

I work in the forge all day with my tools. I have a few apprentices who I show the ropes to. I also have to mingle with people in the public in order to have them purchase the items that I make.
I got some beer here. would you like some? But of course! Here you go? Do you juggle? You might be in need of some nice shiny daggers. JUGGLE!? Shiny daggers! Why YES! And I dance too! I am almost finished with these. They are bronze and very showy. Oh wow! Excellent craftsmanship! Would you care for a bite of food whilst I entertain you? Please tell me if I am any good! Trying to make it to the castle one day you know! Yes! Show me what you've got! Ahaha! Good man! Here we go....*starts juggling the shiny daggers* That's amazing! That must have taken years to perfect! Why yes it did. I learned from my uncle whom was once the greatest town jester in all the land. Where did you learn to craft such amazing weapons? You have left me speechless. Thank you. Uh oh! I've accidentally thrown a dagger the wrong direction!!
