The Trading District
To the east of the city, this is where most commerce occurs. It is close to the docks and contained within it is the east gate of the city thus forming a meeting place of both land and river imports and exports. The eclectic mix of all that goes on here is unrivalled throughout the city. If you need something then you’ll either find it here (somewhere) or it doesn’t exist.It is full of con-men, thieves, pickpockets and a few honest traders; as well as message boys running errands and delivery people rushing in and out of the district. There are shops lining most streets and where there aren’t shops there are stalls; some more permanent than others. On every street corner there’s someone selling something from a try (rat on a stick anyone?) or goods that have fallen off the back of a cart guv, honest! There are also (unsurprisingly) quite a few people offering themselves as well. Why they plug their wares here rather than the with the other whores and courtesans is anybody's guess, maybe they upset the establishment there and daren’t show their face. Usually only the desperate resort to them when there are much better things on offer in other parts of the city.
Despite the danger, this is still a highly vibrant and exotic place where you see people from all nations mix to barter their wares. The deals are usually good although anyone can play a fool for his money if you’re stupid enough.
There are a fair number of long time traders here, the more successful ones own a roof while a few are more seasonal selling their goods that they’ve brought in from afar then leaving to find more on long trade routes when they’ve sold it all.
