• Location • [Gunvorton] Hope Street Marketplace

Gunvorton used to be a rather nondescript and unimportant area in Scalvoris. However, it's logistical importance and tactical use became more and more evident following the shadow beast attacks of Vhalar 716 and, since then, Gunvorton has become much more influential and important to the residents of Scalvoris. It has several docks and piers, a few warehouses, two barracks and a stable. It is used primarily as a landing point for supplies which are then brought overland to the Tower and Scalvoris Proper via one of two roads found on the Island.

[Gunvorton] Hope Street Marketplace

The Hope Street Market Place
Image
The Hope Street Market Place is the small and orderly marketplace which is held every three trials in Gunvorton. It's a basic market, with neat and ordered structure. The stalls are in carefully laid out rows and lines and traders are able to sell their wares within the breaks of opening. Everything is overseen and carefully monitored, there are always visible guards who are always armed. They are part of the Gunvorton Militia which sort of quietly exists, not something advertised exactly, but still something everyone knows about.

There are not people shouting about their wares or harassing passers by. This is a strange marketplace in many ways. The stall which sells cooked food passes out free meals to all other stall owners. The Home & Hearth, just on the edge of the square the market stands on, sends out regular hot drinks in the coldest weather, cool ones in the heat. The market traders do not pay to be here, but they are part of a Gunvorton Traders' Collective, whereby they help each other in all things. One of Shania's many ideas for how things should be done, it seems to promote a sense of solidarity and collective responsibility from the traders here.

No. Not a usual marketplace at all. Yet, things are sold and bought, people chat and laugh. So it can't be too odd, can it?

Can it?
