# General Select Settlement: Select Category: Commerce *The low-tide grey market of [[2-World/Hubs/Rumhollow.md|Rumhollow]] · in the flooded caves of the Undertide* Twice a day, when the tide goes out, the sea drains from the caves beneath Rumhollow's crater floor and leaves a maze of wet black tunnels. Traders go down with lanterns, hang them on iron hooks in the walls, and for the few hours until the water comes back, the Lantern Market is open. Everything is sold here that can't be sold anywhere else: stolen cargo, smuggled ember-saffron without a seal, forged papers and, above all, magic items with no questions asked about where they came from. The deepest stalls belong to the **Undertide traders**, pale, quiet people who come up from somewhere further down, speak only Undercommon and never stay past the turn of the tide. When the water starts to come back, a bell rings, and everyone runs. # NPCs The following people are associated with this place. # Selling | Item | Cost | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Potion of healing | 50 gp | Probably real | | Unsealed ember-saffron (1 oz) | 25 gp | Half the Port Cassia price, and illegal there | | Forged papers or ship's mark | 20 gp | Good enough for most harbourmasters | | Uncommon magic item | 150–500 gp | Whatever came in this week; ask the Undertide stalls | # Buying Anything, at a third of its worth.
