This is Dahngrest,
my hometown.

Looks like a pretty lively place.

Well, it's the second largest
city after the imperial capital.
It's run entirely by the guilds.

I'd thought it would be more
dark and dank, you know?
Like a den of villains.

That's just a prejudice people
have about the guilds.

I'm sure the bad reputation of the
Blood Alliance is to blame for that.

Yeah. Jeez, Yuri. You make
it sound like I'm a villain.

If you're a villain, what
does that make him?

Point taken.

So, how should we go about
tracking down Barbos?

The best way is probably to stop
by the Union and check there.

The Union. A guild collective
run by the five so-called
“master guilds”. ...Right?

Yeah. The Union also serves
as the city's government.

But, how is this gonna work?
Isn't Barbos' Blood Alliance
one of the five master guilds?

Which means if we lay a hand
on him, we'll be picking a fight
with the Union as well.

...We won't know the answer to
that until we ask the Don.

The Don is the boss of
the Union, isn't he?

Yep. Don Whitehorse, leader
of Altosk, the most powerful
of the five master guilds.

All right, let's go see what
the Don has to say then.
You know the way, right Karol?

Hey wait, he's not the kind of
person you can just meet...
I don't really know if...

Please?

...Union headquarters is in
the north part of town.
