The Black Market

Home / Places / The Black Market

The Black Market is an illegal operation run inside Torch City by an unknown group of overseers. The market welcomes vendors and customers dealing in ill-gotten technology, devices and artefacts from the Old Days. Always on the run from the Technomage Inquisitors, the establishment never opens camp in the same spot twice.

Location
Moving around the city, the market is a carefully guarded secret and its location and opening times are made known to the public only hours before the event. The Inquisitors are tirelessly pursuing anyone with knowledge regarding The Black Market and they have full support of the authorities in dealing with suspects in any way they see fit.

Operation
Noone knows who finances and runs The Black Market. The overseers have never been seen and they conduct bussiness through sealed letters and written instructions. The establishment has been functioning for at least a generation, with many vendors being caught by the Technomage Inquisitors and punished for dealing in forbidden technology.

Scavangers
Scavangers come to The Black Market with goods found in The Sewers. Some of the vendors have crude Technomage training and are able to either fix the devices or just dissasemble them and sell them for spare parts. Batteries are in highest demand, as they power most of the city's technology and can even function as untraceable currency.
