Otherworldly market
A mysterious demi-plane that at one point in the aetherverse's history was a alleyway between worlds.
even since the destruction of the outer planes this location still acts as a meeting place of all manor of strange, alien, and otherworldly beings who are all happy and ready to sell and barter things not seen anywhere else. the glassway appears as a narrow alley with no main street tightly packed and crowded between looming buildings. finding your way to glassway is a complex and carefully guarded secret and many outsiders sometimes even accidentally find themselves opening doors into it or getting
lost in a large cities side streets and walking out onto the Ninoten loop or the back door of the bashful basana tavern. Only once one has earned the trust of a shop keep or vendor will they offer the secret to locating the magical market. usually only when they think you may come back for return business.
The Ninoten Loop
The Ninoten loop is at the heart of the alley and is so named for its circular layout. many many stalls selling wears populated predominantly by fey bargaining in promises and flesh mostly. the price for some may seem high but one can find almost anything they need among the stalls.
​
King bukko the exiled
The mysterious lord of the glassway gose only by it's title king bukko. a massive magical demigod raven standing an impressive 9 foot tall 7 foot at its hunch its long feathered neck extends out past its body seemingly endlessly, the jarring display as the demigods head stretches around corners and going face to face with its self proclaimed subjects.
It's rule is maintained with the aid of its honorguard of ten cinders, Rash'Inginus's undead burning skeletons he holds only a handful of imposed laws for those who work here in glassway. they are simple and easy to follow but the price for breaking bukko's law is great.
1) Selling to non-adventurer, non-planar travelers is strictly forbidden. worst of all selling to factions in crudilex. the glassway is for individuals to equip themselves not arm armies.
​
2) Glassway is firstly a secret market. Those who accidently enter may peruse but only when you earn a shopkeep's trust or the favor of king bukko may travelers be taught how to come and go.

​
The candlestick Gheist
