View of the shop interior

The Emporium of Waterfront Traders is a trading post located in the Imperial City Waterfront Tunnel, near the gate to the Waterfront District.

The post is run by a pair of Orcs, a husband and wife named Morden gro-Darog and Deznia gra-Darog. Morden has 500 gold, a Mercantile skill of 30, and sells a random selection of weapons and miscellaneous items; he'll buy armor, weapons, books, clothing, ingredients, potions, and miscellaneous items. Deznia has 500 gold, a Mercantile skill of 30, and buys and sells apparatuses and rare alchemical ingredients. Rumor has it that the Emporium is a front for a smuggling ring; while this is unconfirmed, they do deal in rare and hard-to-find goods.

The shop is divided roughly in half by a long counter; a set of stairs to the left leads up to The Emporium Club, and an open path between the stairs and the counter goes straight to the back, where a door under the stairs leads to the basement. Numerous shelves, crates, and barrels stacked in messy profusion behind the counter hold the couple's goods.

The basement is divided into two rooms; the stairs lead down to an alcove where the Darogs sleep, and a locked door blocks off the rest of the area, which is one large room. It is here that the smugglers' leader, Tarag gro-Zorlak makes his home and does his work. He has a bed and a large desk here, amid numerous barrels, crates, racks, and cupboards full of smuggled goods. A door in the back (also locked) leads to the Smuggler's Caverns, where the smugglers bring in their goods from the waterfront.
