Burn market is Zamarrid's moving trade center, open only at sundown burn market happens at a different place every week and will appear in a flash as merchants hurry into whatever street it is and place down their merchandise on the stalls that newly appeared and sell their wares, thought it remains unknown who operates the market. It is common knowledge that an ancient stone bowl of fire is placed at the center just before the stalls appear when the small blue flame erupts into a roaring inferno of a pillar that stands somewhere around 10ft tall. Then when the flame goes out everyone gathers their goods and flees and the stall disappear just as the guards arrive.

It's a standard practice that everyone who comes to Burn Market to buy must have a item to sell and that item must have a visible burn mark.
Fire Sales
During the insane chaos that is the Burn market, The occurrence of a fire sale adds fuel to the flame as the market central flame flashes into the sky in a burnt red color with an image of an object being sold somewhere in the market and a number, when that happens for the rest of this market anyone selling that item must sell it at that price. People have made huge fortunes from it guessing what that days fire sale will be waiting in front of an item with coin and buying it as soon as it goes on sale just as it goes on fire sale then reselling them at the next market.
