Merchant City, Altareth: Many off-worlders have been congregating in increasing numbers near the main Dagna Ro brokerage archive with each passing day, blocking traffic, littering, and chanting loudly. These disruptions are not welcomed by neighboring businesses and housing residents, but none would go on record to complain. Presumably, complaints are scarce due to the enormous influence and promise that Dagna Ro represents. After all, proximity to the Dagna Ro main brokerage building has always driven up real estate values nearby.
Dagna Ro itself has been officially quiet as usual, but the increased visitor activity has been noticed, particularly amongst those trade unions more keenly focused on time displacement shard rods creation, production and distribution. Jak Camora, Union Boss, stated: “We ask everyone to exercise patience and caution as it relates to the sharply increased demand for the shard rods. We know new uses are coming for shard rods, and that some may be tempted to take shortcuts. We are strongly discouraging any effort to circumvent the normal processes.”
Finally, speculation amongst the crowd suggests that access to Dagna Ro’s significant archives may deliver clear advantages in upcoming events. It looks like every trade union on Altareth has a presence in the crowd, as do local government officials. Notably, a number of foreign dignitaries from across the firmament have been spotted as well.
