Sturdy hemp rope, good for climbing, tying gear, or rigging sails.

Smooth, strong rope valued by roc riders for reduced chafing on saddles and harnesses.

A heavy, leather-and-wood saddle built to fit the broad back of a roc. Features harness points for cargo and passenger straps.

Full harness system engineered for riders to ride and secure cargo on a roc. Padded and reinforced across pressure points.

When properly fastened, reduces chance of dislodgement in turbulent flight—grants advantage on checks to stay mounted during maneuvers once per flight (DM call).

A heavy bridle and beak protector used to direct a trained roc safely.

AC +1Provides +1 to Stealth checks in rain or fog (thin, narrative bonus).

AC +11Reinforcements protect against scrapes during handling; once per long rest allows reroll of a failed Dexterity saving throw vs. falling debris (take the better).

Small round shield reinforced with a metal rim—preferred by aerial skirmishers for reduced wind drag.

AC +2Slightly curved design reduces wind-snag; no mechanical penalty but grants flavor advantage in windy conditions (DM call).

Shop Atmosphere

The Talon & Tack smells of oil and pine resin; rocdown feathers flutter in the rafters and a wind chime made of talon rings rings whenever the coastal wind picks up. Mara negotiates discounts if you bring fresh roc eggshells, feathers, or fish from the bay. She insists on inspecting any roc saddle purchase for proper sizing and will offer free basic fitting for riders who promise to give a feather to the shop's 'nest' bell. If it's storming, she won't sell grappling hooks without a short safety lecture.
