“Vorruk insists on dealing in coin and favors over credit; he marks expensive bottles with a tiny rune that hums when liars handle them. He speaks in a low, gravelly voice and hates sudden bright lights in his shop—lamps are kept dim and all trade is done at a low counter. He will not sell certain items (Umbral Veil, Etherealness) to obviously chaotic or evil characters unless a secure deposit or compelling reason is given. He offers a free single-use inhaler of 'shade-balm' (soothes coughing from subterranean dust) to newcomers, but he'll take a mischievous price in the form of a small task if the customer asks for discounts.”
