Omar, "The Town of Azure Steel."  At least that's what you call it when you've never been here before.  The locals prefer to call it "this deathtrap of a town" due to frequent deaths inside the mines.  This small labor town nestles between a great mine to the south east and a peninsula to the northwest.  Buildings above one story are sparsely scattered amid the town's metal-plated streets.  The people of Omar are known for being tough and stuffy, but there is one day where that gruffness turns to hardy exultation.

Every year when the travelling merchant band comes by, Omar holds The Omaroa Fair where Omar's miners and smiths can sell a great deal of their stock, and the citizens can buy food, materials and numenera from distant lands.  It also attracts many adventurers due to the weapons and tools made in Omar are some of the most effective and durable ever seen.  There is also "The Azure Cup", a small tournament where smiths choose a champion to fight with their weapons made only of azure steel.  The winning champion is rewarded with all weapons used in the tournament, and every year the winning smith sells out their lot.  Among the people of Omar, The Azure Cup brings more renown to the smiths than the combatants.

Xi was concluding the cleaning of her shop which was more thorough than she was known for.  She never climbs onto the ceiling to be able to dust the suspended illuminated gem that bathes this two room hutch in sapphire light.  Though the twinkle it had when clean was so delightful, she questioned why she so seldom dusted it.  Once all was in readiness, she removed the shop's sign from the wall and stepped out into the busy street to hang it above the door.  

"[color=00FF00]The Cobble Claive: Numenera Shop[/color]" the sign reads.  Xi scans the crowd of merchants and citizens, many of which flinch as though startled by the sight of her.  She produces two marble sized orb from her robes and gently knocks them together creating the sound of a bell.  She releases the orbs that continue banging together as if she hadn't, and shouts "Numenera Shop!  Kick-knacks, oddities and more!  Got any numenera you need identified?  Come to The Cobbled Claive, run by the only Aeon Priest in Omar!"
