The Gread Covered Market of Al'soukarh

"Away in the city, he spotted the grand market. A gigantic building that appeared almost small from his point of view. It was long, covered by an intricate roof, and the merchants would soon start to install their stalls. This. He could blend in in and disappear in the chaos that would soon arise there." The King's Playground chapter one, Attack on Nahamira.

"I think I'd rather take you to the Grand Market if we have time. There is little to no better way of experiencing Al'soukarh than to walk the Market. You can find everything made in Nahamira. It's an amazing place to be."
"Are you going to buy us some crazy food?" Asked Edward.
"Most likely, yeah, laughed the Naharate."
The King's Playground chapter 5, Temples in the Desert.

Infrastructure

This is a long, rectangular building that takes about four acres of land. it is entirely covered by a tiled roof in a slope, coming to a large oval cupola on top. Right next to it is the fifth minaret of the city, one of the largest mosque of the city. Every registered trader and farmer, as well as guilds, can aces a stall in the market and set it up everyday.

Assets

Is there anything made in Nahamira you can't find in the Market? Most likely not, as this stands as the center place of the country's inner trade. It is common for producers from all over the country to have employees who's only role is to hold a stall in the Market, and employers tends to employ one more than necessary in case a stall in the larket frees itself for them.

Guilds and Factions

Many guilds of specific producers and traders meet in the covered market, convert a stall in a parlor, or simply argue on the prices of goods.

History

The market began because people started selling their goods out of the largest mosque of the city, the fifth minaret. It was a good place to settle a stand, seeing as there is tremendous amounts of by foot traffic around it. At first, it was simply a large plaza that got covered by sellers on some days of the week, but it became a permanent and later covered market when popularity grew, mainly because the fifth minaret got a renovation and new artifacts and riches were introduced there, making it a touristic place.

Tourism

This is a must-go place in Al'soukarh, not only for the diversity of produce found there but also for the beautiful architecture and immersion in the city's life. It is also located right near the fifth minaret, a mosque that definitely deserves a visit on public days, simply for it's roof carvings and artifacts presented.
