So there's Nordopolica.

Yep, otherwise known as the Coliseum City.

Once popular among the nobility as
a place for pitting criminals against
each other in brutal contest...

...Nordopolica is currently run
by the guild Palestralle, and has
become a city of entertainment.

Yeah, Palestralle's just
as big a guild as the
Don's Altosk, and...

My, how pretty.

So, a party in the streets every
day, huh? This is gonna be great!

Aye, and you can't have a party
without fireworks and oden.

Oh? Let ol' Raven in
on some of that--

Since when are you
on vacation?

Oh yeah, right...
A minion's work is never done.

You're the Don's messenger,
so don't be rude to Belius!

Young man, you are looking at a
veritable paragon of manners and
good breeding. Nya hah hah hah.

Traveling in a big group
seems exciting and lively.

It's just noisy.

We've arrived safely,
thanks to you all.

Once I've unloaded my
cargo, the Fiertia belongs
to you, as promised.

Thanks! We'll take
good care of her.

So are the Sands of Kogorh
still a long way from here?

They lie far to the
west of Nordopolica.

Aren't there some big
mountains on the way there?

That'd make going by foot
a problem. Wonder if we
could get there by boat.

I don't think that's possible.

Not many people go to the
desert. I doubt there would
be a place to moor a boat.

Are you seriously going through
with this? I told you, the desert
is really dangerous.

I can't just let you go
to a place like that all
by your... I-I mean...!

We're entering port.
