Shop Atmosphere

The shop is hidden in the old lower temple of the drowned saint in Darktow. Entry is by invitation or by those who know the stair marked with a salt glyph. Mother Sythra accepts coin but prefers bargains: a secret, a memory, a favor, a vial of seawater from a true shore, or a small scar. She will occasionally accept blood drawn in ritual, knowledge of a name, or a promise to return an item later. Haggling is conducted in whispers; the price the price on the tag is only a baseline. Some relics demand 'payment in story' before they let their power be used. Customers who lie to Mother Sythra find themselves watched by tides in their sleep.
