HIGH MARKET ON THE PERCH

Named for its location, the The High Ward Market is a collection of three dozen stalls and tents in an open area atop Magnate Hill. The more wealthy citizens use this market, but many of the peasantry walk up the hill to gawk and if not buy an item, will look upon them. Although there are signs that the location is going to be covered, work has only just begun on that project, leaving the stalls out in the open for now.

The market is one of many money-generating endeavors in Falcon's Hollow for the Consortium and the Baron.  Rent is paid weekly on the stalls and a cut of the profits go to the Consortium and Baron, who provides space and security for the merchants.  At least two guards are stationed at the market at all times during business hours.

The market contains a wide variety of goods, although the merchants and selection can vary from week to week and some are seasonal.  A number of food stalls can be found here, mostly shared by local farmers who each get one day a week.  The market is open during daylight hours, although some merchants have shorter hours.
