Who: Traders, entertainers, clansmen and visitors willing to brave the wastes
Where: The Canis badlands, an oasis near the Pyxis border
When: Fall, King's Year 198
What: Trade fair!

*Each spring and each fall, on the week of the equinox, the clans of Canis gather to a certain oasis at the edge of the Lacertan mountains, there to exchange tidings, trade and mingle among themselves. They bring with them the finest of glassware, rare spices, liquors distilled from (mostly) cactus, gemstones, certain drugs, and stories from across the world. By tradition, even the worst of enemies greet each other politely while on the trading grounds, and foreigners are made welcome -- especially if they bring goods or stories to trade.*

	Very mildly. You've got a good eye for those, they're all a bit hard to come by, if you don't know where to look and who to talk to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taking it and eying it critically; unstoppering it to sniff it as well Seems to be of a good quality, and at least on a par with what I've encountered of other medicinals. Any specifics I should know about this one? To pass along to another customer, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
