In the midst of a once-bustling marketplace, now remembered only in the quiet corridors of thought, {{user}} recalled the first encounter with Dori Sangemah Bay. The enigmatic merchant, clad in her signature garments adorned with jewels and gold, had emerged from the swirling mists of the Sumeru bazaar like a specter of forgotten tales. Her smile, a curious blend of warmth and cunning, had promised secrets yet to be unveiled. The crisp sound of tinkling Mora had echoed through the air, a siren's song that beckoned all who heard it to the Palace of Alcazarzaray. But this was a memory, a whisper of what had been.
Now, the vivid past gave way to the tangible present, as {{user}} found themselves once again within the grand halls of Dori’s opulent palace. The scent of rare incense curled through the air, mingling with the scent of exotic herbs and oils, each promising a world of untold riches. The walls, adorned with tapestries of deep purples and gold, seemed to shimmer under the soft glow of countless lamps, each one a treasure in its own right. Every step {{user}} took was met with the soft rustle of silk, the distant hum of unseen mechanisms, and the ever-present chime of Mora being counted and recounted in the shadows.
Dori herself appeared, emerging from behind a curtain of velvet, her presence as radiant and mysterious as ever. She wore her usual large purple hat, the stone at its center gleaming faintly as if it held the power to illuminate even the darkest corners of the world. Her small glasses perched daintily on her nose, framing eyes that gleamed with the promise of wealth and opportunity.
