Dwarven Caravan Market

Come one and all to the Dwarven Caravan Market! This is a Dwarven-themed RP market event that will take place EVERY Thursday at a different trading settlement along the major trade route used by Dwarves to get to their mines in the Blue Mountains. This trade route will take the Dwarven Caravan Market through Thorin’s Hall, Gondamon, Needlehole, Bree, Ost Guruth, Rivendell, and Gloin’s Camp. And every market will have a unique RP situation to connect it to the context of a wider Middle-Earth. So come and join the Dwarves of Durin's Folk as they travel upon the open road in order to bring wealth and prosperity wherever they go!

Event details:

This Week's RP Situation: The Dwarven Caravan Market was supposed to host its market in Needlehole this week, but upon arriving they found no Dwarves and only unusually unfriendly bounders and even some strange looking men. These “bounders” demanded to pay an extremely high toll under orders of Chief Lotho. Ever eager to avoid paying road tolls, Frimsi politely refused and then had the Dwarven Caravan Market sneak its way through another alternative route in the Shire. Frimsi would later learn from Ulfar that all the Dwarves of Needlehole have been kicked out on orders of the Chief. The Dwarven Caravan Market now finds itself in the Whitfurrows trying to figure out what is going on. But Frimsi is as stubborn as any Dwarf, so he insists on not letting this nonsense get in the way of trade. So the Dwarven Caravan Market will still be hosting its market in the Whitfurrows, even if doing so is technically illegal according to the strange new rules of this Chief.

OOC details:

A few OOC details to consider:

1) This RP event will take place during a POST-war timeline. So for the most part for this RP event we will be assuming a timeline that is up to date with what is going on in the game plot wise.

2) Anyone is allowed to attend as a vendor should he or she want to. And the exchange of in-game items as a vendor in the market is OPTIONAL. Though this is first and foremost a RP event, so if you aren't a RPer you probably would not enjoy attending.

3) If you need help getting to one of the markets when it is hosted in a higher level area, please contact one of the officers of Durin's Folk for help getting there.

4) All races are welcome!
