The Hub
The bulk of the neighborhood consist of the nearly 100 acre open-air Marchande Trading Center[\i], nicknamed The Hub. Nearly every trade good that enters the Baudelaire Provence is passed through here.
Control of this Power Center grant the Beaumonts nearly uninhibited control over all imports and exports of Baudelaire. This includes a hefty stream of income if trade is allowed to flow, or trade can be locked down and certain goods can be prohibited from coming in. And that's not even mentioning the potential for smuggling, even human trafficking.
