| Atticleaves was founded as "Moira's Pages" by [[Basil Moira]] in 403 GD. The building it occupies was once a three-story apartment building, but the basement was flooded after the [[Storm of 401]], resulting in extensive damage to the apartments that were below ground, as well as those that were on the first floor. The foundation was still intact, however the tenants were forced out as the space was no longer livable, leaving the space empty. | Atticleaves was founded as "Moira's Pages" by [[Basil Moira]] in 403 GD. The [[Storm of 401]] severely damaged the area around Atticleaves, resulting in many of the residents moving elsewhere. The businesses which originally occupied the building were forced to shutter, and Basil, who lived in one of the apartments above the building at the time, took the opportunity and bought the spaces out. |

| Atticleaves was once owned and operated by [[Samuel Nolie]], but following his battle with pancreatic cancer and subsequent death, [[Francine Nolie|Francine]] attempted to take it over, but she could not keep up with the medical bills and was forced to sell it. | [[Samuel Nolie]] was given ownership of Atticleaves in 501 GD by the previous owner, Ulysses. Ulysses had met Sam while he was a student, and the two became friends after the latter graduated. Concerned over the war with [[Opanan]], lamennting the recent [[Annexation of Kalt]] and his aging body, Ulysses reportedly told Sam: |
| |
| | ''I don't know what is going to happen to this country, or this world. But I know what will happen to my bookstore. You will safeguard it from the Adenian dogs. They wish to rewrite history, they wish to remove anything that will call their rightful rule into question. They think this annexation business means they own our minds. Our souls. Our blood. They do not. If they knew what was down there in the archives, they'd burn it all.'' |
| | |
| | Sam replied: |
| | |
| | ''If they knew, they'd burn a lot more than just the archives. They'd burn us, too. Unfortunately for them, I don't burn easy, and while I'm watching over them, neither will the archives.'' |

| | Following his battle with <del>cadmium poisoning</del> pancreatic cancer and subsequent death, [[Francine Nolie|Francine]] attempted to take it over, but she could not keep up with the medical debt bills and was forced to sell it in 518 GD. This decision which was loudly protested by local residents, foremost among whom was [[Salvatore Muneca|Sal Mooney]], who unsuccessfully petitioned that the business be handed back to Francine. |
| | |
| | ''You have no idea what this place means to this family.'', Sal said. |
| | |
| | ''If it meant so much, why did she sell it to us?'' was the reply. |
| | |
| | The archives on the first floor were, notably, excluded from ever being sold away by a clause in Samuel Nolie's will. The archives remain, nominally, in Francine's possession to this day. |
| | |
| | ====Locke and Haynes Era==== |
| | |
| | Locke and Haynes is a chain bookstore operating throughout [[Aden]]. Despite the local protesting over the change of ownership, their tenure in the location was unremarkable. A hallway connecting this business to the neighboring [[Moonbrew Café]] was shuttered by Sal Mooney shortly following the sale. |
| | |
| | The business remained a Locke and Haynes until an anonymous donor gave Sal enough money to purchase it outright in 537, provided he immediately transferred ownership to [[Rimas Nolie]], younger daughter of Sam. Sal complied enthusiastically, and Locke and Haynes readily agreed to the sale, as the location was losing money. |
| | |
| | An employee from this time, Lorraine, remained employed as the business was transferred to Rimas. |
| | ====Rimas Nolie Era==== |
| | |
| | Rimas Nolie, the current owner and operator of Atticleaves, is the younger daughter of Samuel Nolie. The business has returned to the roots of the location, with Rimas seeking and publishing books and other media by local artists and writers, specifically those from Tolikra, such as Princess Potter. |
