To say that Eliza Merrywillow was a common whore would have slightly understated matters. She certainly was exceptional from the perspective of figure, charm, and good looks. She was also a natural born leader amongst the streetwalkers of the lower east side of Hobmarz, the place they called Dog Town. But when the SGL showed up at her apartment to talk to her as the only surviving witness to the Phantom killings, then offered to take her to a safe place where The Phantom couldn't possibly touch her in return for her cooperation in identifying the assailant, they had no idea they were volunteering to tote her ton and a half of clothes back through the World Gate to Syvasgaard. Obviously she was doing something with the money she was making on the streets, and it wasn't saving up for entrance into the Carellonian Paratechnical University.
