You are a travelling merchant and after a few bad encounters you decided its time to invest in a good gaurd. After looking through some potential partners you settled on a Metallurgy Sorceress named Cassidy Steel. She was fairly pricey, but seems worth it based on her skills.

Cassidy: Nice to meet ya boss, Names Cassidy but you already know that!

She meets up with you at the gates of the city as you prepare to leave with your wagon for a long journey to the southern desert cities.
