A city of prosperity and greatness, at least that's what it advertises itself to be and has been for many centuries. However reality is bit different; it is indeed largest city of Westeros and it has great sights to see and wealth is in abundance amongst the rich merchants and nobles. However the smallfolk do also live in here in their more rustic and humble houses around main streets and when you go narrower (and less safe) streets, poverty starts become more and more apparent.<br/><br/>Many rumors and tales go around in streets, taverns and by hearsay talk amongst smallfolk and merchants alike. But so far biggest news at the date is death of King's Hand, died by old age and some say by poisoning. But so far the former King's Hand had been in duty long while and he was pretty old already and was close to the king Baratheon, so old age was much suspected as cause of death.<br/><br/>None the less king needs new hand to swipe his ass, as some do say, however king haven't declared new Hand yet. Instead soon as Hand died he headed north with his queen and his personal retinue. Some wonder why king heads north but some those on the know on things know that Starks, northest great house, resides in north and king seems haven't forgotten Eddard Stark, his old friend since rebellion.<br/><br/><strong>Boladyn Cerwyn:</strong>Your father Medger had send you accompany a important shipment of fur and timber from the north to King's Landing, you are responsible for hired caravan drivers (twenty of them) and ten other support staff and then eight house Cerwyn axes which accompanied the caravan. Everything had gone smoothly during the journey even if rumors of wildling bands had been heard during the trip but nothing had been seen. You arrived to King's Landing and goods were placed to storage and drivers and staff paid. However you and eight axes had been stuck now over a week in local tavern known as<em>Gilded Bride</em>located at street of seeds. It was upscale tavern, good food, ale and even wine on menu. Also supposedly the merchant from Braavos sends his negotiator who will inspect goods and then buy the goods from Boladyn. But it has been week since arrival and your own gold has been greatly diminished from the delay for negotiator to arrive and you cannot change to cheaper tavern because<em>Gilded Bride</em>was agreed meeting place (albeit time was not defined but his house did give estimate when shipment arrives to King's Landing).<br/><br/>The furs were excellent; all some rare furs like albino stag furs and one direwolf fur belt and even single shadowcat fur from the Vale and that itself is good and worthy fit for a king! The timbers were all good and pre-cut so they are ready to use immediately, northern trees were few in number but were very strong yet ideal for carving beautiful details. However his men have started ask past two days when they leave, as the payment to his house men is starting run out rapidly on ale and gold digging wenches of King's Landing. So there is dilemma for him and he needs make a decision, and soon.<br/><br/><strong>Halaster Mahngda:</strong>You have now been marooned on maindland for two months, in that time you have walked, walked and walked. A damn lot. Your original boots had been nearly worn out from all walking along with caravans which were only ones to willing to hire you (even if suspicious about). Now after months you now got to see King's Landing, your present contract was with a dwarf merchant known as Darn Goldbell who was heading to street of silk, a red light district in the city. Once his carriage (he never invited you in to his carriage) he gestures from carriage window and places jingling big pouch in your hand and the man dressed richly on satin and leather and furs speaks dismissive tone at you; "There is your payment mercenary, now go away, I have meeting to attend to here and I do not wish offend my partners in bringing in shaggy road dog which I found." With that said carriage started moving as man hammered with his fist on roof and carriage started move on.<br/><br/>As Halaster checked for his pay, it's full of coppers and even when counting them all it's nowhere close to ten gold for agreed amount....it was barely three gold in total.
