Extra 03: Rosalia 02
Rosalia van Chalonge Cruveilheir was stunned by the size of the imperial capital.
They landed in the Aquicurl fief and then travelled for a week up the river by boat. When she finally arrived at the imperial capital, Cardinal, she found that it was so grand that it blew away all her fatigue. Rosalia was excited when she first saw the city walls spreading out in full view.
