Mithril Market

Brewhaven - Market Level - Central Hub

Mithril Market is a massive hall hewn from the bedrock of the mountain herself. Hundred upon hundreds of vendors from all over the Realm are represented here. The entire district is accessible by way of the maze of bridges and mezzanines. This is your first stop once you’ve made it out of Upper Greyhill. From here, the rest of Brewhaven can be accessed.  

Lodging & Vendors

The owner is a female dwarf blacksmith named Arnfrid, who has been purchasing much more raw iron than usual.   The Gypsy and Spear A fanciful commoner's tavern, built within a ring of ancient stone monoliths.

Its neighbors include the stately hall of the Butchers Guild and the workshop of a male elf confectioner named Feanare. The inn is a two-story building, with wood paneling, and a smooth stone floor.

The Exigent Emporium

A mysterious shop of arcane curiosities and wondrous items, which only appears to those who have particular need of it. It was last seen in the adventurers quarter, surrounded by shadowed alleys and busy shops. It stood adjacent to the spartan hall of the Wayfarers Guild. The shop is a three-story tower of finely carved stone, with carved wooden doors. It is dimly lit by a few candles and fairly shabby. There is no shopkeeper, and by all accounts the Emporium is deserted. Stealing is not recommended. The legend says that the doors won’t open for you with any pilfered goods in your pockets. If you see something you like, make sure you can pay for it before you touch it.  

Odar’s Marvelous Armaments

In southeast corner of the district, in a hollowed out outcropping of rune-carved stone. The street outside is lined with monstrous skulls impaled upon spears.

He extends a small discount to clerics.
