"The space beyond is lit only by what light enters through the doorway.
The far side of the chamber is shadowy which explains, in part, why you
don't see his shape at first. A moment later his form comes into view;
a massive Uren sitting on three (maybe more) chairs sits before you. Legs
like pillars splay over the chairs from beneath his monstrous body. Giant
hands mounted on the end of tree trunk arms and bearish shoulders hold a slim
ceramic vase. The creautre smiles pleasantly as you enter. When
he speaks you find his voice deep and resonant and engaging.
"`From Taládan,' he says appreciatively. `Late empire porcelain,
intricate brushwork, good condition, a fine vessel' he says glancing from the
vase to yourself. `What would you pay for such a piece? Five, six thousand?'
He smiles. `If you could, you would be cheating me.' He sets
the piece down reverently in a blanket-lined crate, before collecting himself
back onto his chairs. `I don't get many callers asking for me by name.'
He nods his head, which more slides into the confines of his neck and
chin, rather than making an independent motion. `Worron said you had something
of a, personal nature to discuss?' "
Oth. Fourteen. 29 Jun 1995

The Marketplace
Although subsistance farming is the most common form food
acquisition in the old realms, it is not an available option for city
dwellers, or those who live in more arid locations. For these people,
a network of farms and merchants bring produce into community center marketplaces
where all manners of food may be purchased.
