The Echo Bazaar is the center of commerce in Fallen London. Let the Echoes Flow[]
The Seal of the Bazaar. Almost all legal commerce takes place beneath the auspices of the Bazaar's spires. People from almost all walks of life are free to buy and sell their wares here, including people straight out of New Newgate. The Bazaar sells and buys many things, from more common items like clothing or pets to the more intangible such as secrets and souls. Stories of love seem to be of particular interest. The Bazaar trades in pennies and echoes (100 pennies = 1 echo),[2] and echoes are ‘echoes’ of the Bazaar's first-ever currency.[3] The Bazaar has seven doors, each of which is made of a different material:[1]
The Copper Door The Ormolu Door The Ivory Door The Glass Door The Paper Door The Steel Door The Door of Teeth The Bazaar deals in commerce on a far greater scale than these goods; for what it's worth, its vaults are far too extensive and secretive to contain only the mundane.[11] The Bazaar also closely monitors the people it deems Notable, and it may bestow rewards and specialized roles to those who gain its attention.[12] People of exceptional skill and fame may bargain for esoteric knowledge to push their training even further.[13] It’s tempting to ask why all this is how it is, but good luck trying to find answers. There are powerful people who’d like to keep it secret. The Side-streets[]
