Lotus Town was one of the border towns and was characterized by relatively informal cultures and rich trade. After all, this was one of the nodes where everyone heading to the 'danger zones' would go through.

The soldiers, mercenaries, adventurers, or guards assigned there were the responsibility of the nearest Town. Whenever there was an attack or a visible threat, signals would emit from there, usually in form of fire or flares, which would warn the citizens in the nearby territories.
