The crowd inside the hall was staggering. Alchemists, rarely encountered outside, were everywhere here, and even the spacious hall seemed somewhat cramped.
Many alchemists wandered through the crowded hall, occasionally stopping before stone platforms to examine the items displayed on them. If something caught their eye, they would linger and begin negotiating terms of exchange with the stallholder.
