Yes, as an adaptation to make an seriously obselete and out-of-sync module fit, that's a very good start indeed. Covers all sorts of things.

Having looked back through the thing, there's also a "temple to all deities" (??!!) - no chaos, but anything else goes. There's got to be some sort of generic weak spot to the Other Side here, or something.
And quite apart from the "pawn shop", the place is money-obsessed. Coinage. Some Issaries curse?

No, I don't have any sentimental attachment to the place at all, if you were wondering. It's one of the very few Gloranthan sources that I'd quite happily just wipe out all memory of. But if you really must perpetuate it, starting with "it's inherently weird, and sends everyone who lives there mad" is a good way to go.
