Aihsohlow | Phorezton | Markutte | Countryside


The commerce town of the tried. Temperatures within the dome are kept at a lofty 18C (62F) year round and the population of Markutte dresses less in furs and more in linens obtained through trade. Their long hair is frequently shorn short in the current fashion and they are, on the whole, less hardy than their kin in Phorezton and Aihsohlow, but even more friendly as they are currently in the throes of the Harvest Haul, a festival that concludes their rare growing seasons and agricultural bounties.

Trade. That's the foundation of Markutte and there are three town squares that are home to transient stalls and merchandise from the country and all surviving areas of Konryu. Many kedan have made their way here and occupy the occasional stall space, selling their wares and exchanging gifts with the citizens as they grasp the nature of the festival underway. Once again, visitors that make the trek here are expected to donate a gift that will be regifted at random, earning access and a stamp of their tin visa that resembles the oblong crystal coin used as currency in this realm.

Police are on the lookout for financial crimes here and will demand visas of any they suspect to be committed fraud, short-selling merchants, or thieving in any way, shape, or form. There are three vistas, one in each market square, upon which heralds stand and announce the crimes and punishments noted of the previous day. Minor theft is common and the punishment is a brand upon the criminal's neck; major theft results in a loss of a finger for each item stolen; fraud here is punishable by death, but only twice will there be an announcement of an execution during the landfall.

The auctions here are quite lively and characters can expect a minor bidding war to obtain their items, but each item is in pristine condition and provided to them wrapped within a thin set of furs as a thanks for their purchase.

Of course, the concept of a date as Arthur understands it doesn't quite exist for Henry; to his mind, inviting a friend for an evening out is simply an ordinary means of socialising—though that doesn't mean that he hasn't found Arthur attractive, quite the contrary. It's simply that for him, the invitation bears little more unusual weight than it would were it extended to anyone else he likes—and while he is not precisely angling toward anything specific, he certainly wouldn't object to it happening, if Arthur were interested.

None of this context is at the forefront of his mind, however, when he beams in pleasure at Arthur's acceptance. "Capital! I look forward to it, then."

"Yeah. So do I," Arthur finds himself saying, perfectly honest. If there's one good thing to come out of this whole turtle adventure, it's definitely been Henry.
