'You cannot trade in a Village.'
That was the main difference between the designations of town and village in Zushkenar.
A village cannot convene a market.
It was true for the races Eli knew best, except the sirens who gleefully flouted convention anyway. Also, their floating cities were a secret, so they traded from small floating villages. Or did they call those 'towns'?
But human, vargvir, and draculkar kept the distinction.
The exchange between caravans in Gremut was only technically legal, allowed because the village wasn't gaining taxes from it.
But more significantly in Redlands, it also meant there were no shops that had an Orddet's terminal, and therefore not a part of the Orddet's transport network.
He'd have to pay more to get things delivered.
