The Great Market of Haark

A dizzying network of tents, bridges, stalls, stands, kiosks, and rocky overlooks bright with colorful canopies  and buzzing with constant activity. The Great Market is perhaps the best-known landmark of central Haark is the greatest of its commerce sites. There is no slow time at the Great Market, and its surging crowds are sometimes intolerable to those not acclimated to such dense population. But to those with cosmopolitan aspirations, central Haark is a paradise for the senses.

All manner of things can be bought, sold, or witnessed within its corners and under its awnings. The businesses that ring the four branches of the bazaar benefit from proximity to one another, but offer quiet respite from the swarmed bridges and stalls. Among these businesses are popular cafés where a bewildering variety of confections, street food, and intoxicants can be acquired. It is in these curtained alcoves that the most influential and powerful among Haark’s criminal empire meet to scheme or simply pass the day anonymously and undisturbed. The most popular of these venues is an amazing place called The Golden Pool , a tavern and brothel where virtually any appetite can be indulged.
