Now what was she forgetting? Something either terribly important or entirely inconsequential that if she didn’t remember right then, she was only going to find out when she needed it. ( Such was the way of packing an overnight bag. )

Northern Γαλλία, situated at the foot of the range of mountains topped with snowy peaks, was a market where every language and dialect of Western Europa was overheard. Raeti and Lepontii goat herders that lived up on those peaks came down with meat and milk to sell, while the Celts brewed their peculiar mead to sell while zealously guarding how it was made. The Greek merchants who traveled so far in the name of commercialism came bearing iron, bronze and pottery, accompanied by the peculiar breed of entrepreneurs from far off lands such as Egypt and Persia, even Carthage, who saw opportunity in the wake of where the Greeks settled. It was a tricky thing to do business so far north, as Gauls did not have coinage to trade with, putting them at a severe disadvantage with the rest. ( It was a delicate process to arrange fair bargains when one was a goddess new to those parts. )
