From Adalia’s post:
"Cities were always like people, showing their varying personalities to the traveler. Depending on the city and
on the traveler, there might begin a mutual love, or dislike, friendship, or enmity. Where one city will rise a
certain individual to glory, it will destroy another who is not suited to its personality. Only through travel can we
know where we belong or not, where we are loved and where we are rejected." - Roman Payne
