After traversing the Quarrycrest Pass...
Tressa travels to Quarrycrest with the other travelers. She purchases stones off of miners and polishes them, revealing a "Skystone," which she sells successfully. She meets Ali, another merchant who establishes her as a rival and easily outsells her the second time she attempts to do business.
The two are intercepted by Morlock, who has a monopoly over the town's gold business. He deems their business illegal and when Ali responds by stating that Morlock swindles money from the miners, he is rendered unconscious by Morlock's bodyguard, Omar, who drags him to his mansion. Tressa pursues them and learning that Ali's father, Maruf, was also swindled by his friend and rumored to be a liar, she then faces Omar...
