Torpolia, city with the dungeon and threat from alien creatures
Torpolia was the main city of the federation of cities in Endemonia, and other cities there grew with influence from the development in Torpolia. The old king over that city, Alford, son of the first king, was generally not seen anymore, except by important individuals in especially important circumstances with appointments. Heads of the factions were in the position for initiating new policies when needed, judging between disputes, and dealing with prosecuting those greatly disturbingly the order there. This city still had stiff competition between businesses of the merchants there, and loose gangs of vagrant individuals were yet an occasional threat to unguarded persons in some of the neighborhoods.
This situation was interrupted with news from some metalworkers that some strange guy was seen in the night before the news came out, changing into a dangerous animal. When this sensational information reached the heads of the factions, one of them, Rigardon, a leader of a guild familiar with use of supernatural things with which extraordinary items and artifacts were constructed for the interests of the wealthy individuals who could afford such things for their own purposes, told the other heads, "This cannot be any of the individuals of our city or any of the others of our federation, or of the farms around any of the cities. This capacity of any being that switches forms to that of another creature is one that would be just of such beings of transcendent realms beyond our reality, where there are beings that never come to an end, such as where souls of the departed might go."
Another head at this meeting, Tundimon, leader over the bards and entertainers, said, "We must still gather individuals with enough abilities to cast such a being away from Torpolia. We know there are some who are promising enough for sending out for that."
Rigardon said, "Those ones would really have to have especially great abilities to deal effectively with such a one coming from any of those transcendent realms beyond our reality."
Tundimon said, "I and any of you knowing of such persons with enough abilities among the guilds we head can bring news of this needed mission to them. We would then meet again bringing the ones we find, to commission them for this work, promising great reward to them for the accomplishment when they would achieve that."
