Well considering that this is still a quest, let's go to the nearest tavern and see what awaits us

You head into the city to look for a place to get some information and company.
Past the initial array of warehouses and shipping companies you quickly find yourself in a colourful labyrinth of streets, squares and marketplaces spread out within. Just at the other end of the square you are currently at you see the "rum and beers", an inviting tavern with a bright yellow sign.
Closer to you but at the entrance to a narrow alley is a smaller place that could be mistaken for a private workshop if it wasn't for the hastily scribbled sign next to the door promising food and a bed.

Lets go into the "bed and brekfast" to get a room for the duration of our "visit"

You open the door and step into a dimly lit room cramped with boxes, sacks and some more, some less grimly looking folk. On the left end of the counter there is a little shelf with some nautical tools on display but it doesn't really help the atmosphere tol much. As the door closes behind you with a n awkwardly loud click some heads turn towars you but only few seem to be actually interested.
As you approach the counter and the barkeeper turns towards you think of what you'll ask without sounding too muh like a foreigner. If only you could remember where you embarked on the ship so you had some backstory to tell... You currently don't have any money either , a language surely understood anywhere on this world...
The man behind the counter puts fown a glass and barks a mumbled greeting at you.

"Sure, you can have a room for 4 Fers a night. Tassia isnt a cheap place but you aren't gonna find anything cheaper than that, I can tell you."
You don't have any money to pay yet but you'll definetly keep the location in the back of your head.
"On another note, could I have some directions? I've just arrived and I don't know my way around the city."
The man looks at you with an odd expression but then gives you a wide grin: "Oh a foreigner, I see. Not that I couldn't tell from your accent. Get many people likdyour you here these days... it is a busy place, good old Tassia.
Most of the markets and shops and all that are here around the harbour. That's the whole southern end of the peninsula pretty much. You've definetly seen the castle at the tip by now and you can figure that all those toffs live there, the 'gentlefolk' in their four story toy castles...
The northern mountains are Toman area. You've got no business there and since Illart has taken the throne they totally control the area. Who would've thought thst? When I was a child we used to light up their temples and now we have to kiss their feet when they only pass us.
If you want some fun just head up the alley right from the door until you get to a large road and then towards the gates eastwards. some shops and folk there too, you know. But the garrison is also there so don't pull some stupid shit. Now get a room, a drink, or get out, others are waiting."
You don't want to cause any trouble just yet, so you thank him and leave the place for now.
Someone suspiciously gets up to leave just as you turn around and after you dtep out onto the street you see him disappear around the corner to the right towards the harbour area.
To the left you can, if the owner didnt shit you, get to some sort of a central street.

Try to follow the man that got up behind us

You quickly pace down the street and turn left at the crossroad where the man disappeared. You can't see him anywhere but you optimistically break into a run towards the next crossing. Just as you arrive you can again see a hint of a movement in your perioherak vision and chase after it. Another turn and you can finally see the man. He looks back and for a second your eyes meet, before he again disappears behind a jumble of wooden barrels.
Somehow stumped, you stop for a second and consider your situation. The activity of the marketplace is quite some distance away and no one really seems to be around here, and the alley is quite small and dark too... You could still chase after him but you aren't sure if you should...
