Metzgereien (Mets-Guh-Ine)

A Metzgereien ('Butcher's Palace') is a speciality district that's found in almost every district across Vilstrung. The Metzgereien is a special market that's dedicated to the selling, processing, and distribution of hunted game meats throughout a village. They're an important cornerstone of Villish culture and cuisine.   Coastal cities often have both a regular Metzgereien and a section in the docks referred to as a Wassermetzgereien; a series of docks, artificial islands, and pullies that are designed to help butcher the massive leviathans trawled up from the depths of the cold, northern ocean.   A Metzgereien is always laden with hanging hooks, massive beasts, hoses to wash away the gore, and rumbling machines dedicated to trawling wagons full of offal and meat.

Meat Markets

The Villish don't often rely on livestock. Despite that, most of their diet is supplemented with hearty game meat that's been provided by a local Metzgereien. Hunters are also free to contribute to these special shops by supplying hunted game, which earns them Zhanne -- special iron tokens that are able to exchanged for af pound of meat.   Metzgereiens only ever sell their meats to locals that purchase directly from the district. While they may sometimes sell or send their product to neighboring towns in need, they are expressly forbidden by the Butcher's Summit to export their game outside of Vilstrung.
