Gortuk speaks seldom; he chews on a bristly pipe stem and keeps one enormous boot tucked under the counter. He weighs every trade in silence, then offers a grin...

Shop Atmosphere

“Gortuk speaks seldom; he chews on a bristly pipe stem and keeps one enormous boot tucked under the counter. He weighs every trade in silence, then offers a grin and an unexpected favor. The tavern smells of smoke and iron; a curtain hides a backroom where 'sensitive' merchandise is shown. The loudest rule: never show a coin pouch in public—Gortuk dislikes leaks and will quietly ban patrons who talk too much. He refuses sales to overtly pious-looking buyers without extra assurance, and offers a discount to those who can give him gossip about the city watch.”
