The Market District contains few permanent buildings beyond its central counting houses, public scales, and covered merchants’ hall. Before sunrise each morning, traders arrive with carts, awnings, tables, and temporary stalls, transforming the open ground into a crowded maze of commerce.
From within, the district resembles a vast courtyard enclosed by the tall grey buildings of the surrounding neighborhoods. Nearly every kind of goods can be found here, including grain, livestock, clothing, tools, imported luxuries, and fresh produce from nearby farms. Fish, salt, timber, and cargo unloaded in the Docks District brought by river are carted inland each morning, while caravans supply goods from across the continent. By evening, most stalls have vanished, leaving only trampled ground and empty streets behind.
