Shop Atmosphere

“The shop smells of old paper, lemon oil, and a hint of ozone. Shelves slope slightly toward the center as if the books prefer being near the counter. Master Ilyana always greets customers with a question — 'What knowledge are you after?' — and will barter rare lore for services or research rather than gold alone. She collects marginalia: a scrap of handwriting found in a purchased book will often be kept and added to the shop's 'Curio Margin' jar, which she insists brings good customers.”
