Ravenvale Patisserie Shoppe
The Cataclysm & The War of the Lance
The current year for our Dragonlance campaign is set during 351 AC "After Cataclysm".
Inspired By Trampas Whiteman

The Ravenvale Patisserie Shoppe is the bakery and home of Rika Haley, a young, brown haired woman who opened this Patisserie Shoppe some 2 years ago after traveling from Haven. She left Haven to find a smaller community to tend to with her baked goods. She wanted to have a more personal feel with her customers and in a larger city like Haven, this was impossible to do. When seen working in her shoppe, she will be seen carrying several of her various cookbooks, pouring over new recipes. This patisserie shoppe is all she has so she puts fourth a serious effort to make her customers happy.

The shop stands next to the Ravenvale Inn which gives this establishment a lot of business. The building is a small bakery, and surprisingly well stocked for a settlement of this small size, with the front of the shop facing the main street that goes through the center of Ravenvale. It has a small cellar for storing supplies, with the ground floor given over to the business and upper floor used as the home of Rika.

The ground floor has two main sections. The front of the building is the store and is open to the public. Here, a counter ringed the room with large cabinets displaying the day's wares; there is also a bread bin. A corridor leads to the back of the building. The cellar of the building is used for storage, holding ingredients. At the rear was the kitchen and preparation area, with a large oven, cooling racks, and work bench. She had her own personal oven sent to Ravenvale to her new shop . . . she is rather fond of that particular oven, and she believes her oven is just as good as this so called "magical" oven in Haven.

The bakery has a small dining room at the front of the shop. Upstairs is a small living area, furnished with two couches, rug, and bookcase with a small bedroom in the back. In the back is a bathroom with bathtub. The shop as a whole is very cosy and confortable and it is very popular with the residents of Ravenvale. At times the shop has been known to have customers from outside the settlement . . . the Ravenvale Patisserie Shoppe is known throughout Abanasinia.
