Haven's market holds more life than some smaller kingdoms hold in their entirety. Stalls are squeezed beside stalls, and women and children move swiftly throughout, surveying the goods offered by the vendors.
Stalls are established for all sorts of items. A jeweler stands behind a cart draped with a satin curtain, while a toy vendor is perched resting in a chair behind his own wooden stall, whittling away on a new invention. Many vendors call out to potential customers, attempting to coerce passerbys into trying their newly cooked breads, or smoked meat, or fresh fish. Occasionally, somebody can be heard cursing a thief - the likes of which is often swiftly apprehended by patrolling guards. To the surprise of many, certain citizens also aid in performing a citizen's arrest of certain burglars and thieves; the citizens of this kingdom tend to hold enough pride in their nation that they desire to protect it.
