Shop Atmosphere

“Thoren polishes every shield that enters the shop and insists on inspecting a customer's forearm for 'shield callouses' before selling; he'll barter armor trade-ins at 50% value if the piece is repairable and will tell long, proud stories about every shield's 'true name' if someone asks politely (usually while handing over a free coat of polish).”
