Shop Atmosphere

“Merathix insists on verbally inspecting every scroll purchase and will attempt to bargain by trading lore (asks customers for rumors or rare inks). He hums an old volcanic nursery rhyme while writing, and will only accept payment in coin or tradeable knowledge — he sometimes gives a discount if the buyer can supply a sample of cooled lava glass or an uncommon component for scribing.”
