Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aviano's bazaar is the main meeting center for all traders and city dwellers alike. The traders have a market set up in the center of the bazaar, with shifting rows that are much like a maze and often change. The outer bazaar is where several rows of small trees were planted long ago, they grow olives and are free for anyone to pick, as long as they promise to leave the seeds in the ground when done. Along the edge of the bazaar is a square outline of shops ranging from cafes and art supplies to a bicycle shop and a theater that shows a variety of films.

The theater opened up recently when the tobacconist was closed from loss of profit in the war time. The film theater had only recently started in the year 1900 and was now in the years when film was starting to pick up. It started when films started being made by larger companies, so the better films eventually found their way onto a screen in Aviano square which then moved into the theater and became a booming business.

The bicycle shop is another specialty shop that sells the highest quality bikes you can find in Italy, and at affordable prices.

The cafes that surround the square are all different:
-''Les Rayures'' ((literally french for 'The Stripes', just call it that when referring to it, it is easiest.)) is a small new age cafe that is very popular and usually only has one or two open tables of it seven indoor and three or four of its 5 outdoor.

-''L'angolo Scuro'' ((means "The Dark Corner" in Italian. Call it "the corner")) is an Italian bistro and cafe which has been in Aviano for over two decades and is family run. The food is good but somewhat pricey and not affordable to the under class suffering from the war.

-''Myriad'' is a bookshop cafe that sells and loans books. It has no food, but great coffee, and the owner Julia is a sweet mother like figure.

The art supplies store, library, cobbler, bakery, butcher, deli, and tailor have no names and have been around the longest. Their uses are obvious though from the basic signs that were put up when the shops were build before the renaissance period.

((The square is a good place to have fun, develop sub-plot, develop characters, and shop for/trade/sell goods that your character develops through their trade. The shops without names are available for jobs and ownership if your trade is related.))

((Everyone who has a trade has a stall slot in the bazaar. Feel free to interact with other merchants and set up next to each other. The idea of the bazaar might seem large and complicated, but it is easy to get the hang of quickly.))

When he was done with his coffee he sat for a few minutes, breathing in the brisk air and the sweet and acrid smells of the different vendor goods. The square around him began to bustle so packed up his pad and pencils and decided to weave through the stalls to the other side. Aden marveled as he always did at the various vendors selling all kinds of fish, fruit, bread, and non-edible commodities such as tools for different trades, swords fresh from the forge, and even some stands dedicated to children. He passed another guard who was actually on duty, and Aden saluted him.

Demetri turned and looked towards the young maiden making the wonderful music that he recongnized as a lycan tune. He walked over and listened until the song ended saying "That was truly a great peice you made." he took her hand and gave it a kiss on the finger saying "Demetri Anotov and might I say you are looking lovely this evening..." he smiled a nice smile his face showed some elvish features thanks to his mother and grandmother as he continued saying "Where does one learn that kind of music?"

he smiled and said "Of course." he couldnt help but smile for he was happy to be there.
