Gilded Bazaar

The Gilded Bazaar is Altoria's main trade district, a large market where merchants from across Eldranis sell their goods. It is known for luxury wares, exotic spices, fine silks, and rare artifacts that draw both common folk and nobility. The market is split into specialized sections, one given over to jewelry and fine fabrics, another to alchemical ingredients and magical curiosities. Cobbled streets are lined with ornate storefronts, market halls, and statues of past merchant princes, and the district hosts regular market days and festivals.
