Alexandria... Role Play Thread

By day one could smell Alexandria’s piquancy that hung over the municipality if to pause at the gates. Inevitably foreigners are drawn to the bazaars that are full of stands displaying an array of every sort – jewelry, handmade crafts, fabrics, and perfumes. The pulse of the bazaar was that of atmospheric cunning, and the variable disposition of the populace…yet citizens and foreigners alike wander constantly through aisles of stalls, doing their share of pushing and shouting and haggling. But as day passed onto night, Alexandria transformed itself into a dangerous place. Lofty towers and far above the ground balconied residences inspire a sense of apprehension, giving the inkling that anything could happen…and commonly, does. In the Epsilon district, the city throbs with a beguiling cadence. Like all the districts in Alexandria, Epsilon was walled and well patrolled by guardsmen. But Epsilon was nothing like the other districts. Hidden away in the dimly lit shambles of the alleyways, in faltering tenements and well-upholstered commons, purveyors of indulgence – the brothel keepers – beckon passers-by to enter their establishments of decadence. Men, mostly, came to Epsilon, to congregate, to drink the finest of Egyptian wines, and enjoy the city’s most beautiful women who plied their ‘trade’ there.
