From Introduction: More of a general name than a singular, given location, Profit Street is any crowded urban street where all walks of life gather for daily business. From beggars and harlots pandering about to the wealthiest of aristocrats and officials, all varieties of folk can be found drifting about on this busy, city road. It is on such a street that one might be hassled by beggars and harlots hustling for petty coin, pelted with rocks by naughty children, engage in business with merchants local or foreign, and welcomed with warm wishes by drunkards, cult followers, and the most upstanding of citizens alike.
