Every so often the floating palace comes to a stop, hovering menacingly over some large city in the empire. The Sky Barges of Songborne are sent to pick up supplies for the emperor, given by the city as tribute to Emperor Haran Seadar. At this time local merchants are allowed to send up Zorga Balloons with goods for the traders in the palace market to buy and sell on to the inhabitants of the palace.
The market is one of the few places in the palace where the common folk and the High Born mix freely. As a result of how its supplied the market sells different things every time a stop is made, making shopping there exciting if unpredictable.
