Market Day in the River Lands - An In Character Event

   Typical of medieval communities, markets played a primary role in the everyday life of the community. In the River Lands (Inworldz Grid), we have Market Day every Thursday at 9 a.m. iwt. This is a time for roleplayers in the Unified Lands to come together to ICly (In Character) to learn the latest gossip in the lands. This is a time for players to hawk their wares or purchase those things necessary for everyday existence in this rugged medieval existence.

   Typical of the time, most people lived in the country. They raised their own food, made their own clothes. And they would gather for Market Day, a rather social but necessary event of the time. Markets were not necessarily run by the people. Sometimes it was the church or the noblemen of that particular land. Shelters were built (stalls) and some countries even marked them with a market cross for market traders. But, not all could afford to rent such a wondrous thing as a stall and might simply spread a blanket and place their wares on it or even sell from a basket.

  So today as every Thursday, the River Lands is happy to recreate the medieval Market Day. The atmosphere changes from week to week. Sometimes, it is a quiet day with nothing more than the usual idle gossip of shoppers, shoppers trying to barter and trade, merchants trying to suss out the best deals they can.

  All are invited. But, a visit to the River Lands Medieval Mall and Welcome Center is necessary for newcomers. Ground level does have some requirements: medieval clothing, a Unity meter and an approved race. All of those things and information galore is available in the River Lands Mall.
