[The Avant Garden]

The courtyard of the Garden is a bower of hanging vines, lush against the whitewashed walls. Ornate brass sconces gleam as do the candles they hold. Crisply starched cloths cover the tables scattered about the area in intimate groupings. You also see the tavern keeper, a serving counter and a tavern menu.

     Welcome to Avant Garden!
