Fairmaid Markets

History

The markets of Birdseye are located beside a fissure where rainwater drains from the higher outcropping of the rock. The spring that formed there was turned into the city’s first bathhouse, and, over time, brothels began establishing themselves nearby. People began conducting business in the bathhouses and brothels, and gradually the streets, and then the buildings themselves, were transformed into the city’s largest indoor market.
