Kafas niv Jaseda

Kafas niv Jaseda, the Market of Fortune, is a rebuilt version of an old city ruin in Najer. It is home to many stalls and stores. Kafas also houses the Spice Guild Headquarters. Many come to buy at sell things in the thriving market.
==History==
The place known today as Kafas was once a small village by the name of Paxonolia. It was founded by a pair of foreigners who had moved to Najer and adopted the local customs, though imperfectly. Although they were permitted to stay, and indeed lived there for many years, they were far from any other town and kept to themselves, meaning the town was incredibly obscure to even the more aware of the Najer. 
Paxonolia was eventually abandoned, the cause of which is unknown. Najer officials stumbled across the empty village while cataloguing the landscape, half of them unaware it even existed, and noted the presence of the crumbling and rotting structures.
Later, around 71 AB, interest in spice worldwide exploded, and the Najer people decided they needed a central location from which to sell spice, among other things, between each other and to foreign nations. The site of Paxonolia was most prominently considered due to its existing foundations, semi-central location, and lots of open space to develop the nearby landscape.
Construction began shortly afterwards, with the new name of the town being Kafas niv Jaseda, or Market of Fortune in the Najer language. Lots of work was required to bring the moldering ruins to a presentable state, but it progressed steadily over the following years. 
At a later date, around 78 AB, Najer successfully won a bid by the spice guild to build their headquarters in Kafas. Fervor for the Kafas project was renewed, and extensive plans were laid out to make the city as grand and presentable as possible. It took 18 years, due to political issues and complications in construction, but by 96 AB, a massive cathedral complex and market area was officially made public and announced to the world.
Traders began flooding into the town shortly thereafter, and the city is currently the hub of international trade in Najer.
