KAROSGRADIAN MARKET EXPANSION

 

 

Issued by the
Office of The Royal Treasurer
On this 12 of Msitza and Dargund  of 361 E.S.

PREFACE

 

VA BIRODEO E HERZENAV,

 

During the last half of the decade, with the blessing of GOD, the Karosgardian Market has been constantly expanding, new businesses opened, new goods traded, and more customers satisfied. So much has boomed, that until now, all of its shops and a good portion of the available stalls have been purchased, operating and bringing themselves income.

However, after overseeing from the Royal Treasurer, it has become apparent that some of said properties - namely stalls - require revisions when it comes to their appearance, location, and availability to the general public. Moreover, it has also become clear that efforts to expand upon the already-existing physical market would be a beneficial act. As such, the Officer of the Royal Treasurer, with help from the former Seneschal Mio Mackensen, has undertaken an effort to both design and construct more stores and review the state of its existing stalls.

REVISIONS

 

Stores

While there hasn’t been much significant change in the layout or position of stores, two changes regarding shops shall occur:

 

I. Crown Avenue I - Previously owned and used by the Haense Fur Trading Company, and later by the Black Crow Company™, part of the Royal Treasury, is now sold and operated as an independent property. Upon notice to the citizens of Karosgrad of this change, the store was sold quickly, now owned as a private property. 

Spoiler

i. The operational stall of the Black Crow Company™ has now been moved within the Golden Crow Bank™, just to the right. Now selling some of the most common and useful raw materials, as well as different odds and ends, all related to the Haeseni culture.

Spoiler

 

II. Crown Avenue XIII - previously used as a public smithy, has now been converted into an open, workshop-themed storefront, ready to be claimed.

Spoiler

 

Stalls

I. Market Stalls I, II & III - which previously stood adjacent to one another near the first right turn of the main Karosgrad are to only include Market Stalls I & II, the size of each stall expanding, while also appealing more appealing and eye-catching to potential customers.

Spoiler

 

II. Market Stalls IV & V - which both stand by the side of the Town Hall, are to become Market Stalls III & IV, as what used to be number III has been removed. Both of the stalls have been greatly overhauled to appear more appealing and fitting to the main square.

Spoiler

 

 

III. Market Stalls VI, VII & VIII - which still stand adjacent to one another as they remain just to the side of the Basilica's western wall (near the end of Wickwood Way), are to change their numbers to V, VI & VII respectively. Each receiving an overhaul, expanding and rebuilt to appear more pleasing to the eye, and hopefully so to the pocket of the passing customer.

Spoiler

IV. Merchant Stalls II and the Jointed III & IV - located near the town’s center, by the Basilica’s side, are to switch their locations. The smaller Merchant Stall II is to be directed towards the middle, facing inwards and so being more likely to have its articles seen. The jointed III & IV, shall be moved towards the corner-side, now facing towards the Town Hall and Palace respectively. No further changes shall take place.

 

Spoiler

 

 

V. Merchant Stall VIII - previously stood adjacent to the public smithy, shall now be removed due to the expansions following this Edict. As such, the previous Merchant Stall IX shall take its place as number VII, whilst remaining rather untouched with the upcoming expansions; save for a slight readjustment to fit the architecture better.

EXPANSIONS

Working alongside the stated revisions, Karosgrad will now also see the inclusion of four additional stores, with two of these already reserved by two long-waiting business owners. However, two more, interestingly-positioned stores are planned to be constructed.

 

Depiction of Lord Treasurer Brandt Barclay working on the construction materials.

I. Crown Avenue XIV & XV - having their construction already started by workers of the Royal Treasury, the two new Crown Avenue properties shall be placed as a continuation of the chain of stores stretching leftwards the main street leading into the city’s centre. The architecture of the buildings shall follow a very similar and fitting design, whilst also being rather accessible to the passing customers. Each stretching two stores up in total, the now Merchant Stall VIII shall be attached to the cornered Crown Avenue XV for a smooth and appealing appearance.

Spoiler

II. Crown Avenue XVI & XVII - upon further inspections on the available spaces around Karosgrad, it has become apparent to the Lord Treasurer of the possible transformation and utilization of the two ramparts built in front of the Nikirala Prikaz. Due to the potential of the space inside these ramparts, architectural plans have been achieved by the Treasurer, with the help and confirmation of his Majesty and other volunteer workers. Thus, drawing out the possibility of two extra stores, each taking up the space inside their respective ramparts. Because of their position, these stores include an interesting edge over the rest, moreso due to the direct, straight forward accessibility of each, whilst the space offered adds to their value.

TAXATION

As most of the revisions and expansions of the Karosgardian market await completion, updates shall be done to the list of Karosgrad’s available properties, now including the planned changes.
Following this, naturally, it shall be the Lord Treasurer job to assign both the selling price and taxes of the new properties. However, due to the addition of two rather beneficial stores, these being the latter Crown Avenues (XVI & XVII), there exists the possibility that a bidding system is applied in order to assign the selling price and owner of these properties. This decision shall depend on the amount of interested aspiring business owners who wish to call these stores their place of operation.
As such, it is encouraged for whoever wishes to purchase one of these properties to come into contact with either the Lord Treasurer Brandt Barclay or Lady Seneschal Ingrid Barclay in order to be considered for occupation of said properties.
