Finished at the library and his more traditional method of research, Zeratul found himself exploring the area of the city where the greatest number of people had congregated. While he had no use for nearly everything that was offered in the Shopping District, it still provided an opportunity to study. Most people shied away from him on the streets, but no one seemed frightened or overly shocked by his appearance. Given the nature of his fellow guests and the fact that this city had seen two protoss before him, he was thankful to be able to walk in peace.

If he was lucky, he could find someone to speak with about the situation of the war. Books could only tell him so much, and Tassadar’s experience was only one facet of the whole. Unfortunately, given his ragged clothing and harsh features, he hardly looked approachable. He needed only be patient, though, and he knew he would find at least one person to indulge his curiosity.

Zeratul made frequent stops throughout the streets, crouching down near corners or benches to silently observe those around him.
