You arrive inside the city gates of Alagadda and are immediately overwhelmed by the sights.

The archaic Caroline-era buildings and extravagant outfits everyone is wearing makes the city seem like something right out of a play, and the smell of flowers, wine, and old books wafts through the air as a band plays for a crowd of dancers on one street while a Wandsman, an avian humanoid reporter of the multiverse, sells the latest edition of The Wandsman's Gazette on another street corner, available for $1.99 or 2.50 secrets.

You find that the clothes you were wearing prior to your entrance have been replaced with ballroom-style ones. You've also got a mask affixed to your face that you can't seem to take off.

You're still looking around when a woman wearing an ornate porcelain masquerade mask and a beautiful red and gold ball gown approaches you.

"Ah, greetings, visitor! Hello and welcome to Alagadda!" she greets in your native tongue with a pearly white smile as she swirls her glass of wine. She has a slight accent that sounds Italian.
