Location
Southmarket Produce Warehouse
A working Beregost produce warehouse used as a covert Circle transfer point because legitimate carts, crates, and spoilage make unusual movement easy to disguise.
General description
The Southmarket Produce Warehouse is exactly the sort of place a secret transfer point needs to be: busy, ordinary, noisy, and unpleasant to search. The building smells of onions, damp straw, bruised fruit, earth, old wood, and limewash. Broad doors admit handcarts and wagons. Inside, stacked crates form temporary aisles that change from day to day while hooks, scales, tarps, baskets, ledgers, and spoiled produce create endless places for one parcel to look like part of another shipment.

Key facts
- The warehouse continues to conduct legitimate produce business, which gives covert traffic cover and makes indiscriminate seizure disruptive to innocent workers and merchants.
- Concealment relies more on routine and volume than on elaborate secret architecture.
- A useful investigation compares what physically entered or left the building with what the ordinary produce records claim should have moved.
Appearance and traffic
Workers move constantly between wagon doors, scales, sorting tables, and storage stacks. Crates are marked in chalk, reused, relabeled, and shifted as stock spoils or sells. A covert package can disappear into that churn without requiring every worker to be part of the scheme.
How the transfer point works
The safest version of the operation uses ordinary procedures selectively. A cooperating loader places one crate in the wrong row. A runner knows which chalk mark matters. A cart leaves with one sealed box that is listed as something perishable and therefore unlikely to be reopened later. This keeps the conspiracy compartmentalized and gives the DM witnesses who saw fragments without understanding the whole.
Using the warehouse
Use the warehouse for a search where speed, discretion, and collateral consequences matter. The party can watch deliveries, question workers, compare tallies, follow a suspicious cart, or conduct a physical search. A failed approach should alert the transfer network or waste time, not make the location stop functioning as a source of clues.
