Ok so I know that on here it means a shop but why is it named bazaar and where does the name come from?

The word itself comes from old persian apparently. It is a permanently enclosed marketplace, think the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. Essentially we have our own stalls in a giant Torn bazaar, at least that's how I see it.

Duke thought it was strange to allow each player to run their own private store, so he named it "bizarre", but you know how Duke is with the English language.
