Ivar, the market vendor is the only trader left in Milena's marketplace. Once a busy place, the Minoan marketplace has now been mostly abandoned to weeds, cobwebs and dust. Contrasting with his grim surroundings and fellow villagers, Ivar greets all with a broad smile, seemingly unaware of the acerbate smell of fish that accompanies him and his wares. He sells local crafts and foods to visitors. He collects things as a hobby.

Ivar's Wares

Ornate fishing pole - 160gp
With each scale perfectly detailed, a solid piece of shaped maple resembling a trout creates the butt end of this elegant fishing pole. Hand-carved pieces of dark ash connected with silver joints make the length of the rod, and silver hoops guide the line along the top side of the wood. A simple cork bobber dangles from the nearly invisible string above a wickedly barbed hook.
Decorative fishing pole - 250gp
Brilliant gems of turquiose and onyx circle a decorative cylinder of polished silver, creating the sparkling handle of a decorative fishing pole. Extending from the shining base is a tapered shaft of varnished ash wood, topped with silver guides that keep the thin line from getting tangled. A reel crafted from solid oak rests at the base of the flexible ash, and is stained ebony, though the crank is cast from silver, and tipped with a small grip of turquoise.
A strip of deer jerky - 75gp
A thick strip of dried meat, this choice piece of jerky is a vivid red-brown in colour. The desiccated muscle is tough and stringy, though it bears a few long stripes of paler and softer fat running along its length. Speckling the delicacy, crushed peppercorns add a spicy kick to the otherwise tame flesh.
