Shop Atmosphere

“The shop smells faintly of hot metal and brine. Mara Tideforge is always polishing an odd blade behind the counter and has a parrot that barks orders in Common and broken Elvish. She haggles in sea-terms ("We'll trade for a favor and two ales before coin"), offers free sharpening for new customers, and keeps a ledger of local captains who owe her a future 'favor' in a locked chest. She closes the shop briefly whenever a foghorn sounds three times — she claims it's bad luck to hammer during an incoming fog.”
