Címtérs

Címtérs is a fictional concept originating from the novel "The City of Brass" by S.A. Chakraborty. Within the narrative, it refers to a magical marketplace or bazaar where various magical items, services, and arcane knowledge are exchanged. It is not a physical location in the traditional sense but rather a liminal space or a dimension accessible through specific rituals or artifacts. The atmosphere of Címtérs is often described as vibrant, chaotic, and filled with a multitude of wonders and dangers.

The denizens of Címtérs are diverse, comprising beings from different realms and magical traditions. Merchants might offer enchanted weapons, rare herbs, potent potions, or even secrets and prophecies. The currency used within Címtérs can vary, often involving a trade of favors, memories, or other intangible things in addition to or instead of conventional money. Navigating Címtérs requires a certain level of magical proficiency or the guidance of someone familiar with its unique rules and customs, as deception and trickery are commonplace. The concept serves as a significant plot device, allowing characters to acquire crucial items or information necessary for their quests.
