Open Market

Lining the Way all the way from just inside the gate to the Dark Quarter are the market stalls and pitched blankets of the Open Market. Farmers from the surrounding countryside sit side‑by‑side with dwarven metal smiths and hedge wizards selling potions. Competition for space is fierce, with many spaces being held for years.

Hord lives a dual life, as befits his dual professions. First, he is a notorious “fagan”, a term of mysterious origin meaning the adult leader of a child gang. Typically, he has somewhere between eight to twelve children in his gang, all born and bred in the streets and all between the ages of five and ten. Secondly, he is one of Ranulf’s agents throughout the area. He regularly reports whatever is happening in the area to his master.

Proudly independent of the four “masters” of the Caravansary, Roscoe serves two different and conflicting masters: first, the caravans, who depend on his guidance to get to their assigned area, and, secondly, to the Black Hand, who use him to spot valuable items being shipped into town. He’s also a valuable source of information about the area for anyone who pays him a few silver or gold pieces. He never starts a fight, and always tries to avoid one.
