Deed of Empire
by Adam Stemple
Pallasoldi. The crossroad of kingdoms. While empires rise and fall, the city remains. For trade is the lifeblood of all who would rule, and Pallasoldi is its beating heart. Most nights were the same for Alda: dress in black, go to the nicer parts of town, and steal everything that’s not nailed down. They all want what she has and are willing to kill anybody and everybody to get it from her.
