Cascais

Describe a bustling market settlement in your world. What can I find for sale?
Cascais is a popular trade town, located at the intersection of one of the primary routes running from east to west across the continent and through one of the two mountain passes and a secondary route running roughly north-south. Merchants were quick to take advantage of the sturdy king's roads established for rapid military deployment to defend against the unpredictable Ryuven . This means Cascais may see caravans from Ivat on The Wakari Coast or even from the lowlands of Heege.
Products common in Chrenada 's trading economy include paper goods, rare luxuries such as Catoblepas ivory or black pearls, fashionable clothing from Ivat. or leather goods from Vandoga. Grain from the rich fields of Tyrg is more commonly carried by ship, but some will be taken overland to the settlements in the plains or near the mountains. The labor trade is also strong here, and the slave market in Cascais is lively. 
The town's position at this caravan crossroads means that illicit business can also be found here. With so many merchants trading goods and so many directions and trains for departure, stolen goods, whether jewels or humans, can be disposed of and dispersed quickly, muddling the trail for anyone attempting to follow or to sort the provenance of a given product.
Cascais, relying so heavily upon trade, has nearly grown up about its various markets, and its quarters and neighborhoods are known by their subject of trade. Directions are given in terms of the Breadwheat, the Slave, or the Books plazas.
