Geography: Plateau City: Trade Quarter

This quarter is situated between the Northern and Southern portions of The Endless River in the center of the city.

The Open Palm Market is the city’s chief marketplace and forms the nexus of all activity in this quarter. The Open Palm Market is where the basic wares of the citizens are bartered and traded. Anyone may open a stall or a place of trade with a simple fee to cover taxes and support the guard. The Market Manager assigns trade coins for the day, week, month, and year. It is up to the traders to find a place to sell. Many times vendors can be seen all the way up Helm’s Way, Gauntlet Street, and Shield Street filling the entire quarter with stands and merchandise.

Interestingly enough, Caeroldra’s Temple of Passion is found in this quarter. Many Vendors prefer to set up shop near her temple due to all the escapes that occur around this immoral temple. Citizens wanting to stare at the worshippers of this temple like to be pretending to shop. Vendors in this area can make great profits while their customers are distracted by the temple patrons. A beautiful garden is behind the temple and secret lovers tend to rendezvous there on nice afternoons and evenings.

The Temple of Ffloy is also in this quarter. It is a massive structure and is where vendors go for advice to end arguments and feuds. Classes and instruction in business and trade are always offered. Most vendors drop by this temple at least once a day to thank Ffloy for such a prosperous location to offer their wares and to make a contribution Since the Year of Ascention, Ffloy is the 2nd most attended temple in Plateau City on Godsday and the most visited during the week.

Taverns include Sampson’s Place and The Flying Fish. Permanent shops include Vanden Boore’s Clothier and Vertigo’s Outfits for the Big Adventurer. Finally, after a long day of trading, the Waters of Bliss Public Bathhouse is just the place to unwind and get oneself clean before bed.
