In the eastern region of the Sparkling Fortress, the site was a large commercial center because of the large guilds that had operations there. Many giant buildings with shops and malls.

The big shots had a tactical agreement between them: Don't sell things that another group is selling.

This agreement was accepted by the big shots, so they can receive the profits from the things that each sells. When a new competitor appears, they team up to try to finish them off. The big shots always made it remain the only sellers on the market, of course, many smaller groups sell random stuff, but their profits were very few.

Often, smaller groups would go bankrupt or were forced to sell their items at auction houses at higher prices than at stores because of auction fees. Some preferred to sell a little cheaper, despite the lower profit, it was still some profit.
