As for a place many wouldn't venture into to deal in black market items, i suppose the Temple of Black Flame could be a good choice, limited access, which i doubt any respectable entity in Yliakum would stoop to gaining access to.
As for the items, theft and whatnot, of course it'll have to be RP'ed, though i can think of a few crafters who'd be willing to part with some items for the sake of RP'ing some form of crime. Having the Imperials as the 'good' side is also a nice idea, at least someone stepped up with an offer.
Also, as a black market needs illicit goods, and this is a RP game, we could use IG items, and RP them as narcotics, just think of how everyone RP's Nightmushrooms...make gathering and selling them illegal RP'ly, sell to those who engage in this idea of a black market, RP being 'under the influence' around other players, many will join in if they have the right 'shroom.
As for theft, and being caught, and punishment, as nothing is implemented in game, it would also fall as RP, and thus be dependent on the actual agreement of all parties involved, though, remeber, theft IS a crime, and the selling thereof of stolen items also a crime.
How hard could it be to get a GM involved *if* one is caught, brought to a player *good* court, and sentenced to imprisonment, there is a fine jail in Laanx Dungeons where I used to RP being imprissoned when we could, erm, get in on our own. It's just a teleport away for a GM, and after a per-arranged number of hours/days depending on crime, he'd be freed ( use /die to not bug GM's too much
)
I think tis a grand idea, that needs work, but mostly just cooperation within the player base.
My two trias...
Nuff said.
