Marketplace

The Marketplace of the Trade Quarter is a lively place during the day: customers mill about and the buskers and bards play their instruments among the merchants' parcels and packages and stalls, the heaps of salt glittering in the sunlight.

Due to the martial law, though the normal, law abiding human traffic quiets down when the night falls, the apparent curfew does nothing to stop the kikimores and Salamandra.

Main marketplace
Here are the merchants you can meet:
 * the Bookseller. He buys and sells books and scrolls.
 * the Zerrikanian trader. He buys and sells food, drink, flowers, a few herbs, wormwood spirit and a few books. [note: he is listed as Zerrikanian "vendor" on the map]
 * the Alchemist. He buys and sells alchemical items, talismans, like rattles, as well as some books and scrolls.
 * the Arms dealer. He buys and sells weapons, armor and related products.
 * the Booze vendor. He buys and sells food and drink, but does not actually have any alcohol (unless you have sold him some).
 * the Textile vendor. He doesn't buy or sell anything.
 * the Wood trader. He is not really a merchant, more of a gossip for hire, since wood is not an item used in this game.
 * "A wink, was that? Plow secrecy, all know I sell information. What'll it be?" That'll be 25 orens, please.


 * the Blacksmith. He also buys and sells weapons, armor and related products.
 * the Swordsmith. He forges weapons in exchange for gems.
 * the Wholesaler (Leuvaarden clone). He can be overheard mentioning Julian.
 * "My friend Julian wishes to enter the antiques business. I wonder where he finds such goods."


 * the Merchant (Leuvaarden clone, in dark blue). He makes some veiled threats.

The Alley along the Walls
There are other merchants about the quarter as well. On the southeastern 'ring road' (technically called the Alley along the Walls), you'll find:


 * the Butcher. He buys and sells meat. He also has a dog named Adda.
 * the Fishmonger. He buys and sells fish, and gutted fish, only.
 * the Merchant. He buys and sells gift items. He also wanders around, so you can catch him in the main marketplace, too.

Other merchants

 * the Armorer can be found in the square adjoining the New Narakort Inn and the guardhouse. He is a "non-guild" merchant who sells weapons, armor and related products and also provides some general information about the state of affairs in the Trade Quarter.


 * the Herbalist, who spends his days beside the Bookseller, as the "Merchant", can be found at night, tucked into a little courtyard with a statue of Melitele, just west of the Maribor Gate. Day or night, however, he still speaks in "holier-than-thou" tones.
