Winter Merchant Sampling Fair

Preparations for the Merchant Sample Fair began early Sunday morning with Lady Giada having the slaves of the Navona clean and set up. The merchants began arriving as the morning wore on. First Reggie the Blacksmith who left his slave "Kat" to watch over samples of his fine craftsmanshi--,a collar and a sirik that she displayed upon her flesh.

Tycho of the Scribes had drinks with a visiting rarius, Draco, and the men were served well by Mirit while a strange woman of the peasants ventured in , shouting about "fresh eggs and fried vulo wangs" in her peasant dialect much alarming Tycho as he sampled one. He later came to learn that "wangs" was in fact "wings" and was much relieved. Thyri, the Vulo Lady, brought in clucking vulos and scattered corn around the fine rugs and marble of the Navona while a physician, Lady Saliena, bought bosk lard and honey from her "grandiddy's farm"

The day continued with the seamstress, "Lady M" (Mahadia Voom) dressed in a colorful gown designed by herself as she showed samples of her fabrics to Lady Desdemona and took orders for Black Widow Weavers.

Later that afternoon as the sun was waning from the sky , the flesh merchants came out. Prithan arrived with a coffle of his best sluts: Fallen , Ayanna and Celine.....two red heads and a blonde, all dressed in the striped livery of the House of the Knot and dancing under the whip of their master.

Merchants came and went in their robes of white and gold. Lady Kari Winsome of the Merchants represented the "Mysterious Seamstress" along with Reggie's Kat. Both were good enough to show the wares of the elusive lady too arrogant to attend a public function.

All and all it was a good day for the Merchant Caste of Ar.
