 The fountain at the centre of the town square is the metaphorical heart of the town. The fountain has an unusual design; it has a sundial on top, meant to allow someone looking from a window on the top floor of the town hall to tell the time. The town square is a social hub, and it's not uncommon to see two friends sitting on a bench gossiping between errands.  The fountain at the centre of the town square is the metaphorical heart of the town.

 The town hall is the administrative centre of Little Avoning and the surrounding farm villages. It is the place of the work for the mayor (elected, but with the support of the local lord of the manor), along with everyone else involved in local government. Everything from trade regulations to festival plans go through the town hall.  The town hall is the administrative centre of Little Avoning and the surrounding farm villages.

 The Toasty Mink is not the only pub in town, but it is The Pub in Town. Named after the town's heraldic animal and run by Salome Scott, the Toasty Mink is the place to go for a pint, a celebration, or a casual meeting with friends. The pleasant atmosphere is only improved by the general haze of good cheer.  The Toasty Mink is not the only pub in town, but it is The Pub in Town.

Line 27: Line 27:
 Little Avoning is the market town for the surrounding area, and hosts a bustling market a few times a week, regardless of weather. This serves a number of purposes. Farming from the surrounding areas can sell their goods to other locals or in bulk to the traders at the docks, and goods imported at the docks can be sold to the local community. Additionally, local craftspeople who don't have a permanent shopfront may set up a stall at the market to hawk their wares. Market Square is usually a lively and cheerful place on market days, and due to the transient nature of the stalls and goods, has a noticeably less dense haze than other parts of the town. Little Avoning is the market town for the surrounding area, and hosts a bustling market a few times a week, regardless of weather.
