The Market
The Market area is similar to any market in a major city, with all manner of goods and wares for sale out of tents, stalls, and small storefronts. While there is no particular organization, Merchants selling food and organic materials line the northern part of the market and those peddling goods from the Guild services cluster toward the eastern side. Importer/exporters and fishmongers predictably are in the southern portion of the market.
The Market is regularly patrolled heavily by the Town Guard day and night who punish thieves and pickpockets severely. Merchants have been dissuaded from shouting at passerbys to hawk their wares and thus the market has a very calm businesslike atmosphere. More than one business arrangement has been struck by businesspeople as they stroll through the market area.
Exotic spices, dried fruits, and dried meats tend to be the most expensive goods traded and housed in the market, along with some rare metals used by tradesworkers. There is very little stealing of high-value items because they cannot be fenced anywhere nearby, though some items have suspiciously "gone missing" only to turn up later, fueling rumors that organized criminal activity is a new threat.
