Like a fungus or certain large plants, what can generally be seen of the markets is rarely its entirety. Weaving down back alleys, on to roof tops and even into the tunnels dug into the cliff, the Markets of Lethe run through the city, with shops popping up where you might least expect them.
Still, if the roots and vines spread throughout the city, then the trunk of the plant is at the Grand Square in the Northern section of the city, right after the main gates. Tents, stall and shops of every kind range across the cobbles, creating a labyrinth of colours, smells and tastes that shifts on daily basis. There is a significant presence of armed guards and spellcasters constantly patrolling the markets, looking for trouble makers. Part of the fee for renting a space is used to pay these mercenaries, and a bonus offered for every thief put in prison. |
