The Grand Auction Hall of the Dark Commerce District was a marvel of mystical engineering and criminal opulence.
Located in the heart of the Deep Market, the structure existed partially in normal space and partially in a pocket dimension, allowing it to accommodate far more attendees than its external appearance suggested. Mystical wards lined every surface, creating privacy barriers around individual bidding booths while allowing the auctioneer to be seen and heard by everyone simultaneously.
Rey sat in a discrete observation booth on the third tier, his appearance altered beyond recognition through a combination of Artifacts and careful disguise work. He appeared as a nondescript mid-level criminal operator—someone with enough resources to justify attendance but not enough prominence to attract attention.
