One of the curious things about Storck is the wall that separates the market from the barracks. It's red brick and fairly thin. It is about six foot so if you are tall you can see from one area to the other. The soldiers marching up and down while people stagger out from the market having taken whatever they might want to take in there. And beyond the barracks the palace, or at least it's towers.
It's curious because it seems to have been built to separate the two areas. Yet it looks like the kind of thing you'd see in a back alley rather than the divide between two widely contradictory elements of the city. Storck is pretty much split in half along that line with only the mall cutting across it where the wall stops. The financial and retail districts which are further on are separates by roads.
There is blood on the ground. Some people must have got caught out when night switched to day. Most likely they had been in the market and the door men had missed them.
