{"type":"location","location":{"title":"The Great Marketplace of Tlatelolco","description":"You stand amid the vast expanse of Tlatelolco, the great market of Tenochtitlan. Thousands of merchants and buyers swarm around you, their voices rising in a cacophony of trade and negotiation. The smell of cacao, maize, and exotic feathers fills the air. Pyramid temples loom in the distance, their stone surfaces glinting in the afternoon sun.\n\nYou are a pochteca—a traveling merchant of considerable standing. Your fine cotton cloak and the jaguar-tooth pendant at your neck mark you as a person of means and respect. In the leather pack at your side rest fine obsidian blades, bolts of precious cloth, and sealed documents.\n\nAround you, merchants peddle their wares: colorful birds in cages, jade stones, cacao beans measured in small pyramids, woven baskets, and elaborate feathered headdresses. Aztec warriors in their distinctive uniforms stand watchfully at regular intervals, ensuring order.\n\nYou have just arrived in the city after a long journey from the frontier. Your contacts have indicated that a secret meeting regarding the rare celestial convergence has been scheduled for tonight. The high priests have begun speaking openly of a prophecy—one that troubles you deeply. But first, you must establish your cover and blend seamlessly into the merchant community.","suggestedActions":["Approach a merchant selling cacao to inquire about local news and gather information","Make your way toward the temple district to observe the priests and their activities","Find the House of Merchants where traders conduct important business and stay overnight","Seek out a fellow pochteca you know to exchange news and establish your presence in the market"],"conversation":"prb3cl38tws96x9cr8dd55"},"conversationLength":1,"maxFreeConversationLength":10}
