Shop Atmosphere

The Inkbound Codex sits behind a lattice of copper pipes and humming candles; shelves slope inward so scrolls 'lean' toward the counter as if eager to be read. The owner annotates each scroll with a tiny sigil indicating who tested it—an ironclad guarantee in these parts. The shop often smells of ozone and bergamot; customers are offered tea while the shopkeeper fetches their items. Bargaining is expected, but the shopkeeper never haggles over preservative services.
