| The Marketplace |
| Welcome to the Marketplace... Very similar to any other marketplace found in the world, one can enter into it and never see everything it has to offer in just one visit. Or several visits, for that matter. At the heart of the busy towne stands a grand cathedral, overshadowing most everything imediate. But within walking distance the road of cobbled stone falls away to earth and grass and the tight-nitched buildings stand further and further apart until it opens up entirely. Eight feet in height, stony walls enclose the area with the wide, enormous gates of it left open most all the year round. The expanse is filled with booths and carts belonging to vendors. Horses and citizens, along with many denizens and foreigners, mill about the place. Anything the mind can imagine can be found here. From cotton and silk to armor and jewelry. Foods and drink tease the senses. To the furthermost part of the market is an area respected and kept from the heavier trodding of horses and carts. Several large old oaks shade the lush, grassy turf below it where a few stone benches have been thoughtfully placed. Here a weary customer can rest before continuing on. OOC: Feel free to let the imagination run. If you wish to be a vendor, the be one! :) There's no harm in it, and they're few and far between here so a merchant will be a welcomed sight. Oh. And please, do not confuse this with one of the 'fleshmarkets'. You are in the wrong area for that. Enjoy! Return |
