Primary Avatar: A merchant riding in a large barrel house wagon
Bazagazeal is said to travel in a barrel house wagon, like many gypsies and caravan-living people do. Bazagazeal has something for everyone in his wagon. His wagon has a series of bells that can be rung by him at the driver's seat or by someone at the rear door. It is said when he rings his bells in a town markets, bazaar and fairs become full of product and buyers. There is often a tower with a series of bells winding upwards which are all rung at the start of a market's or fair's opening as a symbol of Bazagazeal's blessing. Doors to shops will have a string of bells hanging to announce someone entering. Bazagazeal is a god of the fair and equal barter. This is where neither buyer nor seller is at a significant loss in the trade. Take what is given. The tales warn that cheating or using advantage over another in trade risks finding out that the other person is Bazagazeal in disguise. Fire is a universal force of destruction, so the wrath of Bazagazeal takes the form of fires burning down, shops, ships, or homes. An old curse still survives in an awkward translation, "Fire take your all!" It is typically used in anger, which Bazagazeal hears, but never responds. But to say it again without rage after two sunsets against the same person is said to be a call to him to strike them with misfortune. Bazagazeal is often depicted in long dress coats of complex embroidery over colorful silk fabrics. Long narrow silks hang around the neck and drape down the front or wrap around each forearm. Depictionss often have one hand with 14 coins in it or floating in a ring around it and the other hand, open palm waiting. is wagon having anything you need. Step ladder drops from ceiling inside to reveal a much larger room above the wagon. His/her wagon is 3 or 4 stories tall with 27 wheels, some taller than a chimney. It is 66 feet long (width of an acre) and 20 feet wide. Out the top are 13 pipe chimneys with plumes of white or blacks rising from them. In between are gardens of plants, the vines spill across the edges and zip zag down clinging to the walls. Trade, markets, bazaars, fairs, trade routes His name means "the honor of the barter" It signifies equal trade with little or no profit. You have given what you have gotten.
