Overview
Katayama Market is a former trading settlement on Iki Island, in the Gonoura area. During the events of the Iki Island expansion, Mongol forces occupy the market and turn it into a fortified outpost. Jin can liberate it as one of Iki’s major Mongol Territories.
The location is more substantial than its name initially suggests. Katayama Market is not merely a few stalls around a road. It is a broad, heavily guarded compound with perimeter watchtowers, several archer positions, a Hwacha, an eagle, and a sizeable central market area. Its wide perimeter makes it one of the more awkward Iki outposts to clear quietly, particularly if Jin is discovered before the outer guards have been removed.
After liberation, Katayama Market gradually becomes one of Iki’s useful service settlements. Its vendors and civilian activity are tied partly to progression through the Iki story, so the post-liberation appearance of the market can differ depending on when it is visited. Players who expect every service immediately after the battle may find that some stalls or NPCs are not yet present.
