Shop Atmosphere
“Elowen is distracted by marginalia: she will insist on reading aloud any striking marginal note left in a book bought in the shop. The shop's resident tabby (named Parch) is notorious for hiding bookmarks and curling up on newly purchased tomes; customers often find their purchase with a paw print in the dust. Elowen stamps purchases with a tiny rune that glows faintly in moonlight—some say it wards books from petty thieves, others that it helps the owner remember where they left it.”
