It only took about an hour of nonstop travelling in the carriage before I reached the western borders of Hoffen City. This place was called Qazhad which was similar in size with Bragen although it is only categorized as a town and not a city. I guess the category is dependent on the number of people living in it and how prosperous the area was.
Once I arrived at the borders, I paid the coachman handsomely since he is someone I have known for some time. As for the carriage, it is one that I borrowed from one of my business associates that I helped to increase his revenue through new carriage designs so this short trip barely cost me anything.
I can only describe Qazhad as some kind of a melting pot or a hodgepodge of people and cultures. It is obviously divided to different areas where one part looked a bit urbanized with some shops and stalls of various businesses which should make up about half of the whole area. The rest of the area is equal parts forest and plains.
