This is your first big city! Yay! However, like nearly all big cities in Avernum, it's pretty screwed up. Go talk with the mayor. She tells you to go see Genevieve. Do so and return. The mayor tells you to explore Motrax's caves. Once you've done this, the shade moves in and things close up. She lowers the barrier for you, at least.

Show Genevieve the scrolls you've been lugging around from Fort Monastery, and she tells you to go to the Tower of the Magi.

Ahrens is the leather worker and will help you if you give him 3 fine leathers (he provides you with a blessed belt, some gauntlets, and a fine leather helmet). You can give him more fine leathers for other items (see the craftsmen guide below), but you're best off saving your fine leather till you can get some superior items.

You meet Oliver again here, and again he wants you to help him move along (iron breastplate as a reward). His inventory is a bit better this time, though (the yew longbow is better than anything you'll find anytime soon).

Sage Alice wants you to retrieve some tablets for her. You'll do this as you explore Motrax's cave, and will be rewarded with a Magestone band (nice ring for mages/priests).

Abbess Haehn wants you to go on a quest to prove yourself. Do so for the cheapest priest spells in the game. Right above her temple on the second floor is a room with a spellbook of curing. Go ahead and read it.

Check out the Mayor's stairway to enter the town treasury. With ~14 tool use, you can open up everything there to grab some nice armor and a lot of gold.

Sage Alice and Abbess Haehn both teach you spells, though you must complete a quest for the Abbess before she will help you. She has the best prices for spells in the game. Sage Townshend will also train you in Arcane Lore and Spellcraft, which is something that few people do. Training will increase your ability with a skill up to two times, unless you've already added skill points to the skill. You can always train a skill even if you have gained points in it through some other means, just so long as you haven't added points to the skill.

Several jobs are available. Rat hunt will have you looking in storage rooms for rats (they respawn, so keep looking in the same place when you find one, 250c), Message to farm (she's on the second floor, 30c and some fruit), Inn clearing (kill a zombie for some gremlin wine), Hunt spliceworms (Gold bar, 2 fine steel), Hunt Hrickis (NE of Formello, shield of warmth), Message to Silvar (Ruby).
