As you travel towards the gate, you can already see a steady flow of civilians and their wagons making their way where your camp was made: sutlers, of course, and many other merchants and tradesmen who sought to offer their services to the following army, and with the spoils from the sack, as well as the salaries they'll soon be receiving, your soldiers will certainly have their fill.
Sonero, when you enter it, is all too similar to the cities you have seen in this campaign of yours - houses of wood, as well as well of brick and stone, lay out in winding streets, the mayoral house standing proudly atop the hill that a portion of the town is built upon. As you enter, you are greeted by a bald man in fine garbs, who quickly introducues himself as the Potestate of the Town.
