The Meat Market

MARKET SQUARE

WFRP 4e Altdorf Crown of Empire

The Fleishmark market square is different to those found in other parts of the city. This is a place for livestock auctions; the few stalls and hawkers here merely sell snacks to those whose primary purpose is to purchase animals. The auctioneers speak a strange tongue, a pidgin-Reikspiel dealing in quantities and prices that only experienced buyers and sellers understand.
Newcomers to the markets find the noise and bustle confusing, and are best advised to find a guide should they wish to make purchases of their own. Animals fill the pens and cages around the area. These are mostly sheep and chickens, for such livestock is easily raised throughout the Reikland. Cattle and horses come from further afield, some having been driven all the way from the wide fields of Averland. Eggs and milk are also sold here,so cheesemongers and bakers patronise the Fleishmark, as well as butchers. Game is rarely sold at the Fleishmark, usually making its way straight to the tables of noble households or fancy clubs.
