Want to avoid paying those pesky city tax's? Well so did these merchants and they found a small loophole in the law. That is that ships can sell right from their decks. So pooling their funds and with some Noble House backing they purchased the worse dock in Amber and opened up shops on every junk, skiff and rat trap they could find. Though the city has passed ordinances against this happening again the Merchant docks have become a permanent fixture in Amber.
