Knife Market

A sprawling black-market bazaar in Deepberth on the karst known as Gallowskar where legality is irrelevant and morality is optional, the Knife Market is primarily composed of narrow alleyways packed with stalls and hidden rooms. Prices fluctuate wildly with rumor, bloodshed and the tides. if something exists (or shouldn't), it has been bought here at some point. Pickpocketing is a constant, as is quiet violence of those powerful enough to take what they want from others. Market rules are ruthlessly enforced here by the Salt Widow Cartel, who's thugs are constantly wandering the alleys in twos and threes, collecting protection money from the vendors hoping to make enough coin to pay them.

Notable Locations

• The Counting Knots: This is currently one of the most significant of many tally-houses in the district where debts are tracked with cord and beads. There is an unspoken agreement to leave these businesses alone and, when that agreement is violated, the locals cooperate to ensure the violator never makes such a mistake again.
• Broken Lantern Row: This alley is strangely silent during the day, its vendors only opening their awnings to trade at night. These vendors are the damned and sacrilegious, trading in stolen relics, dark sorcery and heretical texts.
• Hook & Scale: An exotic goods dealer specializing in monstrous remains, the Hook & Scale operates under a strict "no questions asked" policy as to the source of the goods traded there.
• The Red Canopy: A poison and drug market, these alleyways are covered by permanent crimson awnings and canopies.
• The Whisper Vault: Ostensibly a tavern, the Whisper Vault is a series of soundproofed rooms carved into the face of the karst where patrons pay a fee to obtain the rare moment of privacy for high-risk deals and conversations... and more.
