We reached Sillomar on the afternoon of the fourth day. It was visible from miles away – a collection of thin spires within a giant walled compound.

The city was vast, and stretched far beyond its walls. There were dozens and dozens of farms surrounding Sillomar, and tiny little villages where lots of NPCs could be found handing out quests. We ignored them and focused on getting to the city as soon as possible.

As we walked the main road, hundreds of other players traveled along with us – on all sorts of exotic mounts like dragons, phoenixes, giant spiders, and eels that swam through the air. Not to mention hundreds more traveling on foot.

“Whoa,” Slothfart said as we watched a group of trolls zoom by on running dodo birds, “this is pretty intense.”

“Did you smoke out before you logged on?” Jen asked.

“That’s why it’s pretty intense.”

“I’m seeing a lot more dwarves and humans than normal,” I asked Jen. “Why’s that?”

“Well, you and I and the guys are all Darklings, and most of the towns we’ve been in have been in Darkling territories. Sillomar is a neutral zone, where there’s a temporary truce between Darkling and Federation players. At least until somebody picks a fight. Speaking of which, don’t pick any fights. In Sillomar, anybody can fight anybody else at the drop of a hat. We should be fine as long as we stick together, but try not to piss anybody off.”

The closer we got to the city, the more guards there were along the road. Men in suits of chain mail with spears upright at their sides.

All I could think of when I saw them was the FBI watching over my shoulder.

“Why are there so many guards?” I asked nervously. “To stop fights?”

“No, they’re more for decoration than anything else,” Jen said, “although you can ask them where something is and they’ll tell you.”

“Really?”

“Yeah – watch this.” She walked over to one of the guards and said, “Excuse me – where’s the bank in Sillomar?”

The guard lifted his arm and pointed off towards the city, whose walls were looming higher in the distance every passing minute. “The central bank is in the Trade District, towards the southern part of the city. You will find it near the grove of purple flowering larios trees. Just keep to the main road, you can’t miss it.”

“Thanks,” she said, then walked over to me. “Now, if you’d been the one to ask him – which I should’ve had you do – you’d see the icon for the bank on your map.”

“Hold on,” I said, and walked over to a guard.

“Well met, traveler. How can I help you?” he asked.

“Where’s the trainers for Lock Picking and Enchanting?”

“Magus Storas is who you want for Enchanting. She can be found in the Mage Quarter on the east side of the city. You didn’t hear it from me, but I’ve heard that there is a master lock picking trainer named Gundarst in the Dark District. The entrance is underneath the main bridge over the canal.
