Soo I was thinking a good idea to bring people to other places than just the crossing would be a showcase idea, a shop that is setup to show items perhaps via some sort of moon mage mirror, of a random shop in another province. Each surface in the shop could be a mirror of a different shop's surface. You wouldn't be able to buy any of the items there, but you could appraise and see the price on each one perhaps, as well as easily be able to see where it is at.

There could be one of these in each plaza.
