Stockyards

The Stockyards is Kaer Maga's biggest and most well-known place to buy, sell, or rent beasts. Located in the Varisian city's public Downmarket district, it deals predominantly in horses and aurochs to serve as mounts or draft animals. These creatures are generally sold by (or stolen from) local Shoanti tribes of the Storval Plateau. The Stockyards occasionally does business in more exotic fauna, captured abroad or in the nearby Cinderlands. These include smaller animals, such as the hyena-like bush tigers, canine kominkas, and cinder wolves, generally sold as guard animals or pets, but also the occasional megafauna brought by orcs from the Hold of Belkzen. The latter are generally not allowed into the city unless under heavy restraints, for fear that they will break loose and wreak havoc.
