The two eventually reached the plaza, which was currently at the height of preparation. They oversaw the creation of the large platform in front of the village, er, town center, as well as the line of stalls and caravan games being built up.

Because Alterra seemed to find something to celebrate every couple of months, there were now shops and businesses that specialized in renting out modular pop-up stalls and caravan places. These could also be used for the marketplace stalls, within or outside the walls.
