The Bazaar of Sails

A destination for traders the world over, the Bazaar of Sails is the largest free market in Varisia. Anyone with merchandise to sell is welcome to set up a tent, booth, or wagon among the hundreds of other ever- changing shops that fill the dockside plaza. Crops from local farmers, weapons and metal goods, Varisian artifact s , Osirian spices, Chelish finery, Andoran quartos , and more exotic goods from a hundred foreign ports fill the market, with each day's offerings varying with the season, trade winds , and tides. As merchants eagerly trade, competitions, rivalries, and all manner of criminal temptations arise. Although the market welcomes all comers, the ever- changing crowd, shouts of exotic traders , and generally raucous bustle make the place a nightmare for the local watch to patrol and mete out justice.

  1. Alejandro, Gareth, Kagome, and Krangk made their way to the Bazaar of Sails to sell the recently acquired merchandise, and to seek out the Princess of the Bazaar to return the recovered pendant. In wandering through the market, Kagome spoke with a few different merchants. The second one encountered, Hakim Singh (Walter), was sooo enthralled by her beauty that he agreed to give a significantly more for the items sold than the other merchants. Having sold all of the mundane items, the group then sought audience with the Princess of the Bazaar, Sabriyya Kalmeralm.
    Sabriyya was found wandering through the Bazaar talking with a few merchants. She didn't appear to have any bodyguards but she is bristling with weapons of her own. With the appropriate levels of respect, Alejandro was able to introduce himself and his associates. Whoo'ed at once by the talents of his tongue, Sabriyya inquired from Alejandro the nature of his business in the market. Already familiar with the great deeds of the A-team, Alejandro presented the Princess of the Bazaar with the pendant recovered from the Crow. Taken aback by Alejandro's grand gesture, Sabriyya invited the group to discuss more privately in a nearby tent. Recognizing the amazing talents of the A-team, Sabriyya requested from Alejandro to bring back the remains of her fallen father. Noting the esteem in which he holds the Princess, Alejandro agreed to recover the former Prince of the Bazaar's remains. So enamored with Alejandro and the deeds of the A-team, Sabriyya gave to Alejandro the Pendant of Souk... a wondrous medallion that enhances the wearers ability to ascertain the value of items. It is a badge of honor given to those that assist the Princess of the Bazaar.
