“Why do I live here? Why live in the most regimented, law-abiding, oppressive city this side
of Bloodsworn Vale? Answer’s simple, mate. With the Sable Company flapping around in
the clouds, Hellknights stomping around on the streets, and the Korvosan Guard caught
between them, no one knows who’s got jurisdiction over what. You just gotta know when
to hide and know when to bribe. Now, you wanna buy this magic dagger or not?”
