The Sanguine Bazaar

A large bazaar lies at the sanguine oasis.

Operation

The Bazaar is too far out in the wilderness to be efficiently controlled by the Esmarian Empire. The ones in control are actually a group of private individuals who earned themselves rich on trading at the bazaar, and created a local trade-union, which later grew into what is now recognized as the Unified Sanguine Group.

Trade

The bazaar is a utopia for travelers trying to cross the desert. It allows travelers from Hem Faldihr, Farnfoss and Ravenfort to take a rest and gear up. Caravans and merchants gather supplies to sell at the oasis at a relatively higher cost than market price, as the demand for supplies there is quite high. It is therefore difficult to find technologically advanced trinkets and goods at the bazaar, but wares unique to the bazaar is the local crafts of the Dunefolk, who trade at the bazaar to maintain their equipment.

Threats & Dangers

Situated in the middle of the Sanguine desert, additionally placed close to one of the only water sources within a large radius, one can't expect the bazaar not to be prone to danger from the local wildlife. Though not exactly attacked by bandits, the local fauna can get grumpy and angry without water. Thus, the bazaar only cover half the oasis, and has a designated, no-entry zone where the wildlife can drink, rest and recuperate. Even with this system in place, it does not guarantee protection from hungry carnivores. There is therefor also a small fence and guard system setup, but with the small population, they have to hire mercenaries and passing adventurers for help. There is therefor always work to find around the bazaar, if one is looking for some more coin.
