Mira Tallow
Shop Atmosphere
“The Gaff & Galley sits beneath a leaning sign of a painted gull, just off the busiest quay. Salt stains the threshold, and ropes and pulleys overhead creak with every passing breeze. Mira Tallow runs the shop — a garrulous former harbor-bard who can name every ship in port, who's owed coin, and which customs inspector prefers bribes in brandy. She keeps a battered ship's wheel behind the counter that doubles as a ledger; customers seeking favors are asked to leave a 'song' (a short tale) in trade. Mira is generous with small comforts (a free sip of grog or a patched bit of rope) but quick to raise prices for desperate sailors. During high tide and festival weeks she may have a few uncommon curios (enchanted whistles, potions) for sale — items often traded in for goods or favors from passing captains.”
