The hard work and dedication from local allies, traders, and the local population (predominantly [[Uriel|Sir Elassar]], [[Aisling|Ms. Aisling Foster]], and [[Rodrigo|Mr. Rodrigo Garcia]]) brought the market to life. The Market is overseen by the local nobility, namely in matters concerning defense. The day to day affairs are left to shop owners and though taxes are collected for County (and Duchy) coffers, the environment is especially commoner friendly.
