Jaxsom sees no soldiers or guards in his current vicinity, so he goes up to a nearby lady walking along the street and asks his questions...
"Oh hello, well yes I can give you some directions. This is Jardren, the capital city of the Britannian islands. You're on the main center island, which is surrounded by 9 smaller islands. This is the only real city that the islands have, since the rest of the islands are full of small villages, I guess this is the main center of our economy. Our city is full of many different types of buildings all packed closely together like this, people who own a business here usually live there as well. The entire city mainly looks like this, besides the government house in the center of the city.
We don't have a military base here, our people has never had much use for war and what military forces we do have is small. Our military is lead by Governor Rock who resides at the government house, if you have a matter to discuss regarding our military it would be best to go there, but the governor will not just have an open audience with anyone. The government house is that large mansion on that hill in the center of the city, you can't miss it. Well that's all I can tell you, I must be off now."
With that the woman leaves.
