Blackjaw Market

Blackjaw Market thrives as a hub for illicit trade and shadowy exchanges in Ashrow. By the dim glow of lanterns, its tangled alleyways come alive with vendors peddling everything from stolen machinery to Gree-infused talismans. The market’s undercurrent of danger is palpable; enforcers patrol discreetly, and whispers of arcane transactions weave through the air.

Alterations

Over the years, secret passages and escape routes have been carved into the surrounding architecture, allowing vendors to vanish should authorities raid the market.

Architecture

The market occupies a labyrinth of interconnected alleyways and hidden courtyards, framed by rusted iron awnings and soot-stained brickwork. Makeshift stalls spill into the narrow streets, their surfaces cluttered with curios illuminated by lanterns casting an eerie, greenish glow.

History

Born out of necessity during Ashrow’s rise as an industrial hub, Blackjaw Market became a haven for those needing access to items unavailable through official channels. Its ties to the supernatural deepened as mystics and smugglers capitalized on the district’s demand for esoteric artifacts.
