Unfortunately Senate legal procedure is clear - the name of the market cannot be changed without a new Senate motion, so the mistake would be very expensive to correct.

	The initial plan came from an old [[Imperial_Orcs_economic_interests#Reavers\|reaver]] who recognised that while the wood and cloth of the old market was burnt beyond recovery, the stone cobbled streets and many of the walls of the old buildings were still sound and serviceable. The aspiration was that reavers would come here to sell their goods, but the hope was that Imperial Orcs and others would come here to trade mana crystals in particular. Most of the Weavers' Market is thus built around providing places to buy, sell, and store crystal mana.

	Before the [[Thule]] [[Skarsind#Recent_History\|invaded]], the [[Skarsind_spoils_of_war#Four-Seasons_Market\|Four-Seasons Market]] at [[Skarsind#Estermark\|Krysse]] played host to merchants from across Skarsind and nearby [[Varushka]], as well as traders from as far afield as [[the Brass Coast]]. When Skarsind was returned to Imperial hands, the market looked set to become a regular fixture again - and the overseer stood to make a pretty profit. Unfortunately, shortly after the Winter Solstice 380YE, the Four-Seasons Market was destroyed in a catastrophic fire. Rumours have since come to light that this was no accident - coinciding as it did with the [[381YE_Spring_Equinox_winds_of_war#Wolf_in_the_Fold_.28Skarsind.29\|fall of Dogri Thulebane]]. In Autumn 381YE work was begun on a new market built over the charred ruins of the old Four-Seasons.

	Almost immediately after it was [[commission\|commissioned]], it was discovered that the Weavers' Market was intended to be called the ''Reavers''' market but that a spelling mistake ~~lead~~ to it being referred to as the ''Weavers' Market'' when it was passed by the Imperial Senate. Unfortunately Senate legal procedure is clear - the name of the market cannot be changed without a new Senate motion, so the mistake would be very expensive to correct.

	The initial plan came from an old [[Imperial_Orcs_economic_interests#Reavers\|reaver]] who recognised that while the wood and cloth of the old market was burnt beyond recovery, the stone cobbled streets and many of the walls of the old buildings were still sound and serviceable. The aspiration was that reavers would come here to sell their goods, but the hope was that Imperial Orcs and others would come here to trade mana crystals in particular. Most of the Weavers' Market is thus built around providing places to buy, sell, and store crystal mana.
