LOW MARKET IN THE WARDS
At the crossroads where Riverwalk Road, Midtown Road, North Road, and Hill Road meet, the Low Market hums with daylight bustle. Caught between the shadow of the Jak’a’Napes Inn, the clang of Bertram’s forge, the watchful eyes of the Goose’n’Gander, and the scowling windows of the Magistrate’s Office, the market stands as both livelihood and trap for Falcon’s Hollow’s working folk.

Stalls rent weekly, and the Consortium and Baron take their cuts—one in coin, the other in compliance. A guard is posted daily, though many suspect their loyalty leans more toward enforcing control than keeping peace.

Market Stalls and Vendors
Bertram’s Blacksmithing

A no-nonsense smith with burn scars and a booming voice. Known for his work ethic and for threatening to brain customers who try to haggle.

A widowed farm matron with calloused hands and a warm laugh. Her youngest daughter and teenage son rotate through market duty under her watchful eye.
