“Moonglass & Mercantile sits on a narrow lane beneath a battered moon mural; inside the shop is a patchwork of crates, glowing runes, glass cases, and a ladder to a mezzanine where rarer wares rest under glass. Sereth Moonglass—tall, silver-eyed, with inked circuit-like tattoos tracing from his fingers to his temples—runs the place. He is an inventor and trader: brisk, precise, and fond of testing blades with a quiet scratch on the stone slab counter. He insists on checking provenance for expensive purchases and prefers payment in gold or platinum; he keeps a ledger of favors owed (and expected returns) rather than always haggling. He will gladly barter arcane services, device repairs, or a rare component in exchange for steep discounts. The shop hums faintly at night from clockwork and warding sigils, and Sereth stamps every Bag of Holding with a tiny crescent to guarantee it's his workmanship. Customers note he occasionally offers a whispered tip about where to find particular oddities—if you buy something nice, he might whisper a rumor of where to find the matching piece.”
