While the Halls are subterranean, Newmarket is the sprawling, muddy, and chaotic town that has grown up around the ruins above ground. Newmarket is three days' hard march (or ten hours of steady riding) from the Falls of Arden Vul.
The ancient name for this locale is Noviomagus.
The Trading Post: This is the heart of commerce. It’s where you’ll find Master Leifcrim, who manages the storage and the flow of goods.
The Inn of the Prancing Pony (The Broken Spoke): This is where most information is traded over drinks.
Safety Level: It is generally a "Lawful" or "Neutral" zone, though the proximity to the dungeon means there are always spies and cutthroats looking to see who comes out with heavy sacks of gold.
The largest community in Burdock’s Valley, Newmarket lies on the Swift River and is home to over 4,000 people. It is a free town, exempt from the lordship of Lord Burdock and governed by a mayor and council of aldermen. Although at least three days walk from Arden Vul, it is a good site for adventurers to heal, train, resupply, and trade. The major Factors and temples all have a presence in Newmarket. The local villages sell their surplus in Newmarket, and merchants from Newmarket trade downriver to Narsileon.
