Trunk Market

The Trunk Market is usually a newcomer's introduction to the Trunk as a whole. If you travel down the Mainstay branchroad from the Guild Quarter in the Canopy level, you'll find yourself in a great plaza of shops and stalls arranged around a large, shaped pillar that supports this wide-open space within the Trunk. The Trunk Market is every bit as vertical as the Canopy's, as ramps from the shop-filled ground floor lead up into grand mezzanines, where closely-packed residences overlook the plaza. The dwellings here share the mezzanines with yet more shops and workspaces, and vendors of different local crafts. The whole place is lit by magic cold lanterns that change their hue and intensity throughout the day.
The Trunk Market sees traffic on par with the Canopy Market, and most Alderites usually shop at both. Knowing which market to visit to find the best deals on agiven item is part of life in the city. Where the Canopy Market specializes in imported goods, adventuring gear, and equipment, the shops in the Trunk cater to niche goods and regional specialties from all across Humlewood. This is also the place to look for strange reagents and other curiosities you're unlikely to find in the Canopy Market.

Bargins

The Trunk Market always has a few eye-catching trinkets and stellar bargins to be found if you don't mind haggling. 

Major Attractions

In addition to being a bustling hub of business the Market shares some impressive sights. These include the illustrious hall of the Shaper's Guild can be found on the second mezzanine level. In the north of the Trunk Market you'll see the former headquarters of the Merchants' Guild. This is no longer the headquarters of the Merchants' Guild, however, and serves as a local chapter. The building is marked by "The Merchant" Statue. A short distance south of the Trunk Market leads to the marvelous three-story manors shaped from the Evertree. These homes belong to well-known familys such as the Forecombs and Sangrenards. Leading inwards, tunnels from the Trunk Market lead to a large fungus grove in front of a root-like building shaped into the tunnel walls. This is the headwuarters of the Tenders.
