Bazaar Enterprises! 2023

It is with great pleasure that we announce our final list of Bazaar enterprises 2023. Or, with our in-game time-keeping established by the Esteemed magic guild: 'We are now in the Second Year of the Contest, The First Reign of the Red Dragon', or 2:1RD for short. The bazaar is a neutral player faction which serves all Dragons. Our premise is 'Trade, Training and hearth!' Even the vendors are players! Our founding enterprises who have been with us since the start The Armorer Learn to make your own chainmail or scailmail? Need real repairs on your armor, or need an armor repaired? All your armor needs are covered. The Brass Brigade Vigilant watchmin of the city keep order within a set of ever changing laws. Provided, there's not a vampire chicken running around... (OOG consideration: The city watch leads have themed the Brass brigade towards Terry Pratchett's Watchmen Series, and by design employs humor and absurdity as part of their roleplay, in order to create a dedicated, light hearted space for players to opt in, when 'dealing with the law'.) The Ciceronic Companions The city's tour guides! They'll take copper for a tour or some information about the bazaar or the camps even, but I've heard they trade in more than just coin. The Nest of Times READ ALL ABOUT IT! Fresh off the press! All your In-game happenstances, ad requests, slander (within reason and for coin), and other journalistic endeavors are covered by the Nest of Times! Come and find the Nest to put in requests, ads, or find work for copper as a distributor. [Insert illegible disclaimer here] The Gilded Cloaks Trade Company (Formerly the Woodworker) Now with their entire company of craftspersons, The Gilded CLoaks Trade Company is an enterprise that covers many trades, from woodworking to leatherwork, to any other of your needs for copper, silver or other trade! The Baccaro have a drink friend! Sit, and share with us. We welcome all. Especially bards and those who have a tale to tell! The arena - Hosted by the Fighter's guild. It's a pit. You fight in it. Talk to warrior's lodge. Maybe coin, maybe just fight. With a warm welcome, we look forwards to our new enterprises! The Magpie's Ledger An official casino you say? Legal gambling and betting for copper or silver? Entertainment and social facilities galore!? Wow! Come and experience the Magpie's ledger! Sure there may be a host of illegal betting rings and underground card games elsewhere - but for the fabulous experience in high town, come and see the Magpie's Ledger! The Unfamiliar underground Are you Lost? Have you run away from your wizard or mage? Come and find this enterprising group of very legitimate and legally protected slightly magical former familiars for all of your entertainment needs. The Balance Keepers Is your camp in need of help? Are you lagging behind in tournaments, the wargame or just need help? This enterprise endeavors to keep the balance by helping those camps who could use a leg up. The Rosewood Academy An official diplomatic neutral space, enforced by the blessing of all Dragons - Parlay here and have your treaties, alliance documents signed, or make peace under the watchful guidance of a diplomat emeritus. Seven Deadly Sips A very legitimate teahouse, which notes that they can not guarantee that the watch will be able to intercede in time, should their patrons i.e. you, happen to use the teahouse for violent and bloody massacres, back stabbing, poison, or other nefarious intents. Simply enjoy the comfort of a warm tea in peace. The Silestribus Spa Go for a swim in the creek, have yourself be pampered! This enterprise has had decades of experience creating a 'get out of the city retreat' setting for everyone. They are located 15 minutes away from camps, in the south east of the event grounds on the creek -> signage will be posted. If you need to 'get away from the stress' and take an in-game afternoon off, this is your bet! The Bathhouse A relaxing massage perhaps? Come and find the bathhouse in the city for your relaxation needs, for copper and silver! The Broth Hal Broth! Stew! Soup! Come and be fed in warm company, for copper or favor. Some say Broth Hal broth has healing properties, while others say that there's nothing like a warm bowl of stew to keep you going. Pillars of Fate Fortunes Told. Fates Woven. Futures Determined. -> All of your divination needs. Who knows what your future might hold? Perhaps the bones rolle a company of strong warriors accompanying you on your next quest? Or you might glimpse somewhat more of a tactical insight into the future. Additionally housing the Sign of the Two Headed Bear General shop, The Clockwork Bear Bar and Gambling Den, and providing classes for belly dancing, knighthood, champion fighting, general badassedness, showmanship and more! The Companions So you need a package delivered. That package might be a precious object, an artifact, or even a diplomat, or perhaps even a siege weapon. These ehm... well armored and well equiped trained delivery folks can help you get what you need, to where you need to get it. For a fee. Hire a companion for your delivery needs today. The Willkeepers Have you lost someone recently? Is someone you know about to pass into the next world permanently? Come and speak to the willkeepers at the Graveyard outside the city to arrange for a time to honor their passing in a way that suits your needs. From military parades to professional wailers to sermons on the afterlife, all of your next-of-kin needs are well cared for here. For coin, their memory and namesake can be permanently added to the graveyard. Our sympathies. The Tavern A social and open seating space under cover for all your social needs. Buy some food from the food vendor, pack your own lunch or just meet up for a chat and watch the cityspace roll by from a bench in the tavern. Communally run and communally operated. Laws enforced when possible. (OOG: The Tavern does not sell drinks or food, but is a dedicated communal seating area in a large tent). The tavern will also hold the city's unmoderated bulletin board. The Drake Academy - by DrachenFest US OOG Professional counselors who host our Youth Program! https://www.drachenfest.us/youth-program.

Our esteemed Guilds The Guild of Alchemical Arts Explosions in the city? Smoke and sulphur? Inhuman screams and hallucinogenic frogs? No foolish wand waving here.

The Lyceum Arcanorum, or The Mages Guild or The Magic Guild or The Guild of all Dragons Whatever power you invoke, may it be welcomed here. Speak thy name and step forth, as you speak to the caretakers of great power - the Great Ritual Circle itself. Learn Magic beyond mere spellcasting, and choose a specialized school should you wish. Know that this endeavor is a path that requires consideration and effort. Come, and together we shall explore and conquer the mysteries beyond the mundane. The Warrior's Lodge - The fighter's Guild Sleep. Eat. Train. Improve your real DrachenFest fighting skills. Also a Tournament. And other trainings. Inquire at the Lodge. Bardhaus - The Bard's guild Mostly, music is just music. But sometimes music is magic -> very real magic. What do we mean? Come and find out and share in the magic of all music! Hiring and managing musicians since the first year of the contest! The Surgeon's Guild It takes precision, dedication and an inquisitive mind to master the art and science of mundane healing. First aid? Yes. Surgery? For sure. However, with careful study, there's so much more to discover. There is no thieves guild If you just want to be sure, and confirm that truly there is no thieves guild, just start asking questions discreetly around the city. Every upstanding citizen will confirm that there is no thieves guild and put your mind to rest. The Lamplighter's guild They light the lamps and the torches! (This is also the OOG build team's in-game hangout, where they have a few days 'on call' inbetween literally building DrachenFest for us). If you see lamplighters brawling in the streets, they're probably just settling which sub-faction of the guild has lit more lamps. Get involved at your own risk. The lamp lighter's guild does not teach classes. The Needleworker's guild Our artisan vendors (who are also players) - masters of the needle, included last year: Master Tentsmith of the Tentsmiths, Master Blackhawk of Badass Garb, Master Podling of Podling's place. They welcome not just your business, but love to talk shop about the trade and craft itself! Any needleworking questions can be asked and will be answered here! A dueling Fey! Challenge this enterprise to a duel, and win your fortune, or lose so much more... OOG locations The Cityplex The cityplex is an OOG large period tent on the outskirt of the city, staffed by the build & city team before the game, and the OOG security team during the game. The Orgaplex / Ref headquarters - The Showers building You'll definately find a referee, or medical assistance here. We look forwards to seeing you at DrachenFest!
