Bazaar of Bloodhelm

The Bazaar of Bloodhelm is always a busy place with anything from around all of Martapa found here. This space is roughly five blocks by five blocks large, with no permanent structures, but lots of tents and movable stalls. Literally anything can be found here from live chickens to dwarven swords. It just depends on time of year and which merchants are available.

Some common items to be found here are food from around the area, fresh fish, local fabric, and some blacksmithed items (such as pots, fire pokers, tripods for cooking). If you are doing a campaign the common items in your players handbook are at the best availability level. Exotic items could include such things as pets from Ariella, silks, and rare woods. This would be a 20% availability according to your handbook. Prices vary, common items should be normal prices, while rarer items may be more and more expensive depending on how far they had to be shipped.

When night falls, light stones are brought out or mages cast light spells upon special poles in the market so the bazaar can last until the 10th bell. Most of the people who sell here are from the local area, but some stalls are set aside for foreign sellers as well. People who sell here give a silver penny a day to sell to the city of Bloodhelm.

Around the outside of the bazaar a person would find the Traveling Tramp Inn (Average), Uncovered Gold (Moneylender/changer), Catiana's Grace (Healer), Sarjon's Rest Inn (Upscale), Exotic Spices, Mystic Potions, Tresh's Imports, Calligrapher, Traveling Merchant Inn (Upscale), Undertaker, The Seeress, Cythia's Herbs, Bookbinder, Zen's Gambling, Blessed Pawnshop, Tender Mercies Healers, Temple to Taniger, The wanderer Inn (Average), The Spell Filch (Spell Components), Interpreter, and a Barber.
