Flower Street Market
Flower Street, one of the Ivy District’s main thoroughfares, is an impressive sight to behold. Lined with dramatic bowing oaks and flowering willows, the street runs along the west edge of the Ivy District Park to the Wise Quarter, and is wide enough for carts and carriages to pass each other side-by-side.
The centerpiece of Flower Street is the Flower Street Market, a boisterous open market that specializes in fresh fruit, flowers, fine clothing, and a wide variety of artists and artwork. Absalom’s most talented woodworkers and blacksmiths come to the market to sell their custom wooden and wrought iron furniture, each piece one of a kind. Portraits painted at the market, featuring the blue and purple flowers of Flower Street’s incredible trees in the background, are a status symbol found in the sitting rooms of most of the district’s elite. When the weather is fair and the market is particularly busy, local restaurants open food stalls in the market, selling signature and seasonal dishes to promote their business. Fortune tellers, courtesans, legerdemains, acrobats, and contortionists also work the market, since their crafts don’t require licensing by the Street Performers and Actors’ Guild. Keen to step in whenever the Guard turns a blind eye, members of the Brotherhood of Abadar patrol the market regularly, checking vendor licenses and watching for thieves.
