Aval Atheron is a dunmer merchant who has a market stall in Windhelm. Merchandise displayed in the suggests that Aval sells meat, yet vanilla game doesn't reflect it. The issue was somewhat resolved in Unofficial Patch, making him a solely meat merchant, but it ignores in-game hints about Aval.
He is a pawnbrocker, as reflected in his dialogue with Tova Shatter-Shield:
And he sold some pitchforks sometime to Torsten Cruel-Sea:
Despite that, his barks usually mention him selling food:
But if you ask him where does he get his goods, he answers:
...which really doesn't scream "Hi I sell goat legs" to me.
So, my interpretation is this - Aval Atheron is a shady dunmer merchant who uses a meat stall as a front for his slightly illegal pawnbroker business, and as such completely removing everything except meat from his inventory is an incorrect solution.
There are to version of the mod:
- Minimal - only includes changes to his inventory. Should be compatible with everything, load this after unofficial patch.
- Definitive - adds small chest below Aval's stall with few clutter items. While there is large stack of barrels with what seems to be merchandise right behind his stall in vanilla game, I think a little hidden chest with his actual merchandise adds some kewl environmental storytelling. This might cause clipping with mods overhauling Windhelm, but it's unlikely. I'll try to provide patches if requested.
