Miscellaneous5

A neatly scribed scroll containing the cantrip Guidance. Useful for skill checks and short rituals of preparation.

Single-use: cast Guidance once. Identifiable by glimmering blue ink.

A parchment scroll with marginalia pointing out traces of sigils and ley-lines. Marked as a ritual.

Can be used to cast Detect Magic as a ritual once.

Old ink, the script rings faintly with sorrow. Useful to question a recently deceased mind for brief answers.

Cast Speak with Dead once (uncommon). Requires a corpse and knowledge of its name.

A heavy vellum scroll sealed with a small iron ring. The script is written in a protective hand.

Single-use: cast Remove Curse. Useful for fetters, cursed items, or infernal marks.

Miscellaneous5

A weighty leather-bound volume containing regional cult practices, rites, and organizational charts of Tiamat-worshipers.

Grants advantage on a single Arcana or Religion check when consulted (DM adjudicates).

A thin, illustrated book used by temple diviners. Charts, star-maps, and sign interpretations are included.

May grant a bonus to interpreting omens (role dependent).

A scholarly paper on the magic of names among fiends and infernal bargains; includes fragments of rituals connected to names.

Provides clues on how knowing a demon's true name might be leveraged (roleplay/plot hooks).

A heavily annotated codex; Levera's notes are in the margins (illegible handwriting but legible by touch to her).

Researching a specific fiend grants advantage on a single knowledge check about it (once).

A short, encrypted tract only partially translated by Levera. Mentions a name used as a sigil and a location 'beneath the triple bell'.

Contains a lead: a coordinate or riddle that can be pursued in the campaign.
Miscellaneous1

A torn map piece showing a route beneath the western hill and a penciled note 'sealed vault — Gargalon?'.

May connect to a larger map — keeps its secrets; Levera can sometimes produce the missing piece for a price.
Miscellaneous5

Two pages, ink faded. Mentions donations to a 'Gargalon ward' and shipment of 'black iron'.

Plot hook: names, dates, and possible meeting locations written in the margin.

Simple bound pages favored by field researchers. Acid-resistant and faintly scented with lavender.

Deep-black ink that resists fading. Preferred by copyists of the Second Tome.

Ink preserves notes against mundane water damage.

A folded sermon fragment railing against draconic avatars. Mentions Tiamat in passing and a 'Gargalon' scapegoat.

Provides a clue or leads to local contacts for investigation.

A tiny packet with a salt-stained rune; hangs on a string. Provides comfort to the superstitious.

When carried, grants advantage on one saving throw vs. being frightened (consumed on use).
Miscellaneous4

Levera places her hand upon the object and 'reads' its echoes. Not instantaneous—takes 10 minutes per item.

Functions as the Identify spell (reveals properties, curses, command word).

Levera touches a text and murmurs as she translates; she cannot make others speak the language.

Equivalent to a continuous Comprehend Languages effect for the duration paid.

Levera will perform a single ritual in-shop for a vetted client. Requires conditions to be met (corpse, consent, any offerings).

Levera uses her own knowledge and may add a single cryptic insight at her discretion.

Levera or an apprentice can copy a page faithfully. Complex ciphers may cost extra or require time.

Copies are made with archival ink that resists mundane decay.

Shop Atmosphere

“Levera is a blind tiefling who 'reads' by touch and arcane resonance: she places her palm on paper and hums softly to interpret. She speaks in soft, clipped sentences and uses incense to clear her mind; dust unsettles her patience. She is unusually intrigued by Zebulon's fiendish aura and will offer a free, cryptic one-line insight into the name 'Gargalon' to him (or anyone she deems connected), phrased as a riddle rather than an exposition. Levera dislikes hasty buyers and will request a short vow—spoken or written—before revealing dangerous lore. She occasionally swaps items for favors (research, retrieving a lost folio, or a service to the nearby temples) rather than gold.”
