The black market is an illegal Trade network in which criminals exchange various things for profit, hoping to escape the notice of the local law. It may involve such common items as bushels of Food, up to illegal drugs (such as Ikrif) and exotic goods.

Traders can purchase things on the black market at a risk: if they are caught, they are imprisoned by the Realm they do so in. In addition, there is the risk that they can be scammed or swindled out of their Gold - after all, they are dealing with (and acting as) criminals. However, there is the possibility of purchasing large amounts of food without having to pay any officials of the realm, and without the knowledge of the realm's Banker. This is definitely frowned upon by all realms and has started more than one war.
