The Fair of Saint Demetrios

the_the_fair_of_saint_demetrios

We have expanded the ancient religious fair into a massive international trade expo that links the Balkan hinterland with the Mediterranean maritime routes. By granting safe passage to merchants, Thessalonica has become the premier marketplace for fur, grain, and Western textiles. This economic vitality allows the King to bypass the local nobility by funding his administration through sales taxes and customs duties.
