The list isn't a final thing, just a few examples I thought of while working on it.hashtag: #IWANT
Name It: The Divine Skein Marketplace and Tailor's Guild
What is it: area of the Market District set aside for various kinds of clothiers, and the guild that regulates and runs it.
Is it city run: Run by the Divine Skein Guild
What services does it supply: various kinds of clothiers, tailors, hatmakers, cobblers, any sort of clothing you could want available for sale.
Where is it located Pick ONE
Market District, subsidiaries/offshoots in various parts of the city
If you want, describe it: Its simply a few streets of the market district where a lot of clothing stores were set up. Since then the city has made the concentration official, with most clothing, tailors, or other kind of store related to worn wear being placed in this part of the Market district. There are plenty of stores around town, but if someone wanted to see the widest variety available in town, the Divine Skein is the area of choice.
The two main entrances to the area have large, colorful signs that read out the name of the district, along with colorful and welcoming decorations. The sign over the entrances is held up by a pair of marble pillars on each side as well. Inside there's an open air market with stalls and a series cloth coverings hoisted up between the buildings to keep the elements out. The stalls tend to be associated with various stores in the district, displaying a few wares outside of their stores to entice people to go inside. Plenty though are independent stores of their own, just without a proper storefront to sell out of. The buildings are of various styles and makes, creating a very interesting aesthetic where people bring bits of their cultures to design the buildings.
The owners of the stores and stalls of the area work together to keep it cleaned up and maintained, and try to keep an air of hospitality throughout the Divine Skein. They're organized into the Divine Skein Guild, which regulates the quality of the work sold and produced by the various shops, and tries to keep prices at a level that both helps cover costs for running the Divine Skein, pay for the materials needed, and help startups. They have smaller Divine Skein offshoots in the Burrows and outlying villages with selections from all over the main marketplace to sell the goods as a whole and show samples of what you could see going to the main marketplace. Aside from this it tends to operate similarly to a traditional guild, with apprenticeships and all.
A few of the stores present here are as follows:

Where is it located Pick ONE
Market District (by the Building ), Divine Skein
If you want, describe it:
A largely Greco-roman reminiscent building, with pillars on the front two corners and colorful murals on the stone face of the front of the building. The sign is separate from this, standing from an awning going out to cover their exterior stall. The inside is much the same, with mythic looking decor and murals painted on white colored stone. Pretty simple and utilitarian, though it does have a pool on an upper floor for Aeneas, along with the workshop.

Business Name: The Essential Fabric
Business Type: Fabric store, craft store
Name of the person that owns it (or is it city run): The centaur Anne Reiter
What services does it supply: purchase of various kinds of fabrics and materials for Tailor and craft work.
Where is it located Pick ONE
Market District (by the Building ), Divine Skein
If you want, describe it:
Designed with centaur proportions in mind, given its proprietor. relatively simple wood and stone design, much like an medieval German home, complete with timber framing. Pretty simple and to the point, with a homely interior in a similar style but more modern touches too. The store is practically divided in two, with one side holding supplies for more serious craftsworkers and another side simpler craft works for people wishing to dabble. A small section houses handmade plush toys for kids, something Anne does herself.

Business Name: Weresheep's Wear Sheep
Business Type: Woolens shop
Name of the person that owns it (or is it city run): Self-proclaimed (aka poor) comedian and Weresheep August Skye
What services does it supply: Woolen Goods and Tailoring.
Where is it located Pick ONE
Market District (by the Building ), Divine Skein
If you want, describe it:
A bit designed like a Celtic tower house, with stone walls and an actual gate that can be raised and lowered(Simply used when they lock up for the night). The workstations on the first floor. As a result there's a staircase leading up to the second floor shop for onlookers, though they do offer paid tours of the work spaces on the lower levels, and how they go about making their goods. No one really knows why August had it designed like this, though he gives a myriad of reasons ("Its more lucky", "Worker's safety", Usually a few bad jokes or puns too). He's a jovial man, though serious about his work. Also entirely oblivious about the irony that a Weresheep works with woolen items.

Aside from these, stores of various kinds dot marketplace and several places around town that aren't in the central marketplace are part of the Divine Skein Guild.
