Di the village on the mountains edge. This small town is filled with many races since the rebellion.The empires soldiers long since pushed back by those who fought in the war. Many hero's died on the lands just beyond the small towns stone walls, yet many still live. Some are disillusioned, some are happy, but everyone is glad to be settling down to regular business.
The town holds many things of interest to people traveling. Especially since stone is so abundant in the parts. Although there is little to be made in farming in these parts the villagers have a healthy trade with the six surrounding towns.
As a result of this trade, some particular areas of the city are prone to crime and violence, though these areas are fairly localized to the down-town portions, where most of the trade takes place. Most of the bars are located there.
Officers of the peace have not yet been well-established, so mercineries are used to guard merchant property *Edited by Brokenflash **PS Thank you Tam.

Eamane has just arrived in the the city of Di after her travels. She sighed. "Hmm..." she looked around to find nothing of great interest. The streets were still strewn with bodies from the rebeillion, but it wasn't as bad as it had been. "Might as well rest a little..." she muttered, walking/gliding over to a nearby inn.

Eamane sighed as she entered the inn. She came to the city in hopes she might find something worthwhile, but apparently it was just people chattering about the recent rebellion and how the Empire was crumbling. She went over and sat at an empty table and ordered a drink. Her bag was full of treasures, so it was by her feet. "I travel all this way for nothing..." she muttered, propping her elbows up on the table.

Eamane thanked the person who got her drink and sipped it quietly. Nothing interesting would probably happen here now. The most she could hope for is a bar fight where she could rumage through dead people's clothing to see if they had anything of value.

Asereth sighed. Ever since the rebellion was over, she had had nothing to do. The Empire was in ruins, so her 'revenge' for killing her foster parents was as good as done. She had barely had time to get to know Tamea, but already she missed having someone to talk to. "I should get some random pet..." she muttered to herself. She was sitting at a table by herself in an inn. There were four empty glasses on her table. Another was in her hand, half empty. Her key was strung tightly to her belt. She felt bad that she had had almost little to do with the rebellion after being knocked out, but she didn't know how to make up for it. She took another swig of her drink and sighed again. She looked around.

Tamea sighed softly as she looked around Rashid's house. It had taken a beating in the end of the rebellion, bandits had ransacked it and taken everything of value. She shook her head slightly as she moved to set a chrystal goblet upright. The fairy fire she had once lit here had long since gone out, and darkness had enveloped the house. It filled her with memories of Rashid. Almost everything in the city of Di did though. Shaking her head sadly she stepped back into the living room. It never occoured to her how much she enjoyed spending time with the man, not untill it was too late. Sighing softly she pulled her hood up about her face. It was high time she left Di. Time for her to find her own place in this strange surface world.

Asereth sighed and left a tip on the table and headed for the exit of the inn, and came out into the sunlight, sheilding her eyes from the sun with her hand. When she grew accustomed to the glare, she sighed and decided she might as well leave Di. No point in staying here anyways.

Tamea walked through Di her face half hidden by the shadows her hood created. A few townsfolk waved in her direction and she offered them a simple nod in return. She would always be welcome back to the town of Di, so long as some of the townsfolk remember the Drow that fought on there side. Sighing softly she shook her head and took one last look at the town she had grown so accustomed to.
With one last shake of her head she slipped through the town gates and onto the open road.

Asereth took a glance back at the city as she stood by the gates. Accompanied by a cloak and her key, she sighed and set out on the road.

Eamane glanced as she saw an Elemental leaving. An elemental who was her sister. She shrugged it off and paid for her drink, then ordered another one. She finished that one quickly too. She had decided that nothing of value was here. She was preparing to leave when she heard a bucnh of people talking about Rashid. He had been the leader of the revolt and had died. She smirked. Maybe his house, now empty and ungaurded, might have something of value. She picked up her bag and left the inn without paying for her second drink.

*Resheth walks down the city streets, admiring the quiet part of the city for its lush blossoming trees, visible and awesome even in the darkness of the oil-lit city streets.*
"Is anyone else around here? I thought that the others had gotten the message! I should never have trusted that impish little draconish courier!"

Troy snuck over to the gate, peering into the town. Bodies of resistance in a few places. Some still holding their weapons.
"Probably inhabited either way...." Troy thought to himself as he snuck into the town, his sword on his back. He tightened up the head wrap he wore, and kept sneaking through the town. He could see some living people chit chatting, but didn't bother to risk getting seen. He dove into the shadows of the wide crevice between two buildings. There was a door to his right where he leaned against the wall, and it had a vacancy sign over it, covering some of the propoganda graffiti. He could hear noises of rowdy citizens probably fighting off either one another, or overwatch, as Troy liked to call them.
He unsheathed his blade, and kicked down the door. A few people puased fighting, while the others carried on with their haymakers and baseball bat swings. Troy doubted they knew how to REALLY fight. He acted like there wasn't what looked like a 50 on 50 brawl going on, and found the bartender quivering behind the bar, shaking in fear.
"Still vacant? Or did that damn sign lie?" Troy said menacingly as he sheathed his blade.
"Th- thi- this isn't a v- very- very s- s- safe place, y- y- y'know." the bartender studdered, as he revealed he was rather pigsy.
"Just give me a room, tubby." Troy demanded.
"R- right this way." The beer bellied man said, losing his studder a bit as he guided Troy up sets of stairs.

Troy headed up the sets of stairs, reaching the third floor.
"H- h- here you go, s- sir." The man said, shifty eyes looking for predators.
"I'll pay you if nobody breaks in. If not, I'll kill anyone in the building I feel needs it. But I assume you aren't working with the empire, so you'll probably be fine. Just keep the junkies out." Troy said, falling backwards onto his 'new' bed.
"I- if it- it'll keep you- you ha- ha- h- hap- happy." The man tripped over the word happy several times as he walked out of the room after tossing Troy his key.
The building was about 10 floors, so Troy was relatively low to the ground. He opened up the window and climbed out the fire escape, then stashed the key inside a pocket within his jacket. He climbed up, and then felt something whizz by his face. A bullet.
"Jesus Q and a half Christ!" Troy yelled as he began rapidly climbing higher and higher with the fire escape. He kept feeling the occasional breeze of more led whistling by. Not a pleasure trip. Troy heard more yelling, almost like a war, coming from the rooftops. He saw people on most rooftops beating each other into pulps and throwing one another off. Troy placed his hand on his head, holding his turban. He made it to the roof, and tried to go unnoticed. It was a gang war.
Troy marveled at the different colored vests fighting before him. People jumped from rooftop to rooftop, and Troy counted five different kinds of vests. Didn't matter much, because they'd all lose in the end. He looked around, making sure nobody was rushing at him. Dumb luck. Right when he turned he witnessed a rather un-sober man rush at him with a knife, who dove at him. Thinking fast, Troy ducked and the man not only wound up stabbing himself, but fell off, and to the stranger's misfortune, missed the fire escape.
Troy brushed himself off, and then spectated the fight more. It was like a mosh pit, but far more dangerous. He jumped to a different rooftop which was a bit less crowded, and figured he'd have some fun himself.

Troy looked down and saw a man who was either dead or knocked out. He held a bat in his hands, which Troy pried the bat from, as he'd left his sword in his room, to his demise. He pushed some of his hair out of his face, and began taunting the sloppily fighting men as they brushed each other with exhausted blows.
"C'mon, you women. You can't even fight? Hell, you'd lose a fight to a dead body. Panzies." Troy taunted with glee as he prepared to fight. Just before the men came at him, there were loud siren-like sounds coming from the ground, and most everybody looked over to find several apc's surround the buildings.
"s**t, it's the fuzz!!" One of the nearby men yelled, gapping the rooftops to get away.
"We can finish this later, that guy's not as much of an idiot as the people standing their grounds." Troy said as he ran past the men who were dumbfounded by the assault vehicles below them.
Awe, what the hell. Troy thought to himself as he jogged back over and hit each of them over the head with the bat as they dropped like flies. They didn't even bother ackgnowledging that the men to their right were each being knocked out, some falling off. Leaving them all even more dazed, Troy sprinted from each rooftop, still holding the bat. He wasn't going back to prison. Not after last time.
