The Wide

The marketplace known as the Wide is located in the Upper City.
Almost anything can be found in the Wide. Vendors can operate here without official licenses and taxation, so long as their wares are legal. Even so, the Wide is not immune to corruption: hefty bribes and reputations determine where every vendor is situated in the marketplace.
Several known stalls have been browsed, although there are plenty more.
Autumn's Breads, a street bakery with fresh pastries, breads, and cakes for 1 sp each
Coppers to Crowns, an "antiques" shop selling a miscellany of trinkets and oddities.
Gems for All, a shop with a variety of gemstones, all worth 50gp or less
Heath's Hot Drinks, a stall offering cups of mulled wine, hot cider, and strong teas for 2 sp each. In the summer, the sign is repainted to read "Heath's Cool Drinks" and the stall serves chilled fruit juice and iced tea.
Wizards of the Wide, a tent bursting with dozens of arcane foci and spell scrolls, including scrolls of comprehend languages, detect magic, feather fall, find familiar, mage armor, magic missile, shield, and unseen servant, all 25gp each.
Amberdune Books Although it's located in an out of the way corner of the Wide, Amberdune Books always has a few customers perusing its wares. This market stall is stocked with legitimate but commonplace books (25 gp each). It used to sell illusory copies of rare and expensive books for 250gp each, but since the party helped them to raise funds for their leader, they now operate within the rules of law.
