1493 after the Great War:

The Laughing Halfling, an inn operated by a human simply named Makhia and specializing in ''Open Scene'' nights that showcase poetry, theater, musical performances and other forms of art, gets a lot of attention for signing a short-term contract with Bar-To-Go, a nomad band of travelers headlining Typhoon, celebrity pop-singer, and Drix Henry Jimmer, unparalleled guitarist of equal renown. One night, the celebrations are interrupted by Vittorio Marotta, a menacing halfling and known underling of Dirk Von Diamond . The halfling coerces the group into kidnapping Kiran, a summoner from the Golden Company.

The Butcher, one of Von Diamond's most known enforcers and torture, is found murdered in its shop. Rumors have it that he was interrogating Kiran when the Golden Company busted through his door and killed him. Riding the neighborhood of the Butcher created discordance among the commonfolks of the market district. Some people where grateful that the Golden Company rid them of the Butcher's presence in the neighborhood, some others kept their allegiance toward Von Diamond, favoring coins above anything else.
