Brassmarket

Wardmaster: Ned Dawnbark (halforc)

Though it isn't as grand or as well guarded as the Grand Market, Brassmarket makes up for quality with quantity. This broad thoroughfare contains thousands of shops, of all shapes and sizes and categories of products, with numerous neighborhoods dominated by one craft or another. Industries: Ceramics, Metalwork, Art, Supplies, Trade, Craftsmanship

Brassmarket is organized into a vast wheel, with dozens of spokes all meeting in a central square, centered on a tall brass statue of the first King Mayor of the city. You might not know it though, since the central square is chock full of densely packed and wholly unregulated stalls, tents, and carts, such that the nigh block out the sun, Farther out in the spokes, or along the ring roads that connect them, one can find larger and more established business and warehouses, and the foundries and workhouses which supply them. The region is split into eight slices, shaped like pie slices, with different classes of products in each: Ceramics, Metals, Paper, Services, Woodcarved, Masonry and construction, etc.

### Locations of Interest:

Central Square - The mad, unregulated crush at the center of Brassmarket. When you come here, roll an investigation, intimidation, and perception check. Your rolls will determine the quality of your finds.

Jasper's Jades - Proprietor: Jasper Edinbern (human -halfdwarf) - A sizable but humbly decorated shop, well guarded, boasting three mercenaries at any point in time and a single tamed hellhound watchdog. The single central display case shows thousands of semi-precious gemstones arranged by color and rarity. Jasper's Jades is an excellent place to buy and sell any gemstone or rare material, often at great prices, though he may not have full stock of the upper tier gems.

The Southvrell Sovereigns - Proprietor: Max Farhand (human) - a small coin shop, servicing collectors and studiers of old and rare coinage.

Mud and Heat - Proprietor: Dooogvaj (tortol) - a wide, open air shop. Several apprentices scatter about as the master potter at the center, Doogval themself, works steadily on beautiful peices. The pottery that comes out of this place is renowned for its beauty and quality, far better than what can be found from any artisan in the Grand Market, yet Doogval feels no need to move.

The High Reliquary of Durn - Proprietor: Primapastor Alldain (human) - A massive church of marble, stone, and iron, dedicated to Durn, the god of forges. The church is famed for the relic it holds, the fragments a hammer believed to have been used by Durn himself, still golden where he gripped the tool. In addition to religious services, the monks of the monastery offer repairative and crafting services, and are responsible for a portion of brassmarket's civic upkeep.

Sir Howell's Hall - Proprietor: Vincent Demarius Kestrel Quincy Howell the Third (half-elf) - A small fortress of a manor, stood across from the High Reliquary in the center of what was once the old city of Capitol (near the Southeastern edge of Brassmarket). Originally the Howell's were an adventuring family, and maintained the Hall as a lodge to organize sorties into the wilderness. Now, it is a refuge for nobles and socialites that find their way into the Brass market, and it is the center of the power of the Howell family, once a powerhouse of Capitolan politics. Now, however, as the Hall has grown farther from the center of Capitolan decisionmaking, the family too has dwindled in influence, to such a dire extent that Vincent the third lost his most recent ward election to, not just a commoner, but a common, plainspoken halforc!

The Bannerette of the Bannerless - Proprietor: The Eight Chiefs (mixed) - A vast foundry built by a rough mix of master smiths, who wanted their own space outside the control of some noble patron. The Bannerette produces quality weapons and armor, and in enough bulk to service small armies. The eight chiefs each have equal shares of the building, and share control of the production line, but they can be met with individually. They are: Bron Silvermaul (dwarf), Ferra Torrson (dwarf), Delila Woodfound (halforc), Ben Freeborn (human), Darren Ardec (human), Markus Farhill (human), Djegegeg (Tortol), Creation (Tiefling).

The Envious Almanac - Proprietor: Car'rayel (elf) - A fine, large library with broad windows and comfortable nooks. The almanac is known for its broad library and for its ability to track down rare tomes. Car'ravel sells books only rarely and at a high premium, mostly charging people to research within the space and make temporary use of the books.

Printer's Paradise - Proprietor: Thilla Thinwhistle (human) - A conglomeration of printshops surrounding a central storefront. The Paradise is a great place to buy common books or to order print runs of specialty books.

Clansmen's Kitchen - Proprietor: Torr Goldgoblet (dwarven) - a tinsmiths shop specializing in beautiful flatware, drinkware, and diningroom ornamentation.
