Elderly Pochtéca
Many retired but successful merchants find their way onto special councils to guilde laws, advise future prospects and pronounce judgements on market cases. Teams of three elderly men interview and examine new members in luxurious chambers for consideration of entry into the pochteca community.Contents & Furnishings
As the place where local manufacturers and returning merchants choose to store and exchange their goods, there are jars, barrels, bags and baskets of trade goods that are mysterious to most who work there.
Valuables
Vast quantities of wealth already circulate among the pipiltin and pochteca families.
While the noble class conservatively stick to the bartering, pochtecas are more adventurous. Rare products from far away and records of promised deals to be fulfilled are kept and enforced by all the pochteca communities in the city.
Tourism
There is a kitchen and dining room for serving refreshments to its members and visiting tradesmen. Upstairs sleeping apartments are also available for those visitors who comes from afar to stay overnight or longer.
