The Jamoura themselves have little need for any kind of supply stores for edibles as they tend to forage from the surrounding forest and take what they need for each day, often for each meal. The idea of a bustling center of activity for the buying and selling of foods is not in keeping with their slow paced way of life nor does it agree with their concept of taking from nature only what one needs to survive. However now that the isolation of the Jamoura form the rest of Mizahar has begun, there is a regular influx of visitors and they do need supplies. Plus the outgoing Jamoura have discovered the need for Mizas in their journeys so some of them have learned the practice of conducting business.
The Bazaar is more of a collection of stalls than a bustling business center with buildings and shops, though there are a few shops opening in the outer city as the demand for specialized items increases. The various merchants are all versed in dealing with outsiders and they are regulated by a Merchant's Council that reports directly to the Great Founding as to the running of the stalls. Also a great part of their income is sent to the Founding to store for traveling Jamoura who need a few Mizas to trade for goods.
The merchants themselves are varied as are the goods they sell though they are also few in number since visitors are few and the Jamoura themselves have little need for such organized trade. The Merchant's Council is run by the younger males and the females as the Alphas are usually too involved in running the city itself. The head merchant is a young male named Falth, and he runs a fruit and vegetable stand.
