Mist-hued cascades of luxuriant spidersilk drip from the walls and ceiling of the spacious shop, pooling around shelves of silvery wood holding scores of small, brightly colored bottles. The shelves even line the broad bay windows flanking the shop entrance, displaying dozens of the crystal containers to passersby. You also see Mistress Tosylle.

Mistress Tosylle

Unusually petite even for a sylph, Mistress Tosylle's diminutive size and delicate features give her the appearance of a woodland sprite or a mischievous child.  The fine lines around her mouth and eyes belie the latter impression.  Her gleaming flaxen hair is cut close to her scalp, and her slender physique is wrapped in silvery gauze that glimmers with cascades of emerald glints as light plays over it.  She wears fine slippers with high heels that do little to increase her unimpressive height.

"I hope that silly bard doesn't come in again asking for a kobold love potion again," says Tosylle, "I don't think he's quite right in the head."

"My scented soap idea went up in smoke," says Tosylle.  "Alas, not many people in South 'Haven bathe often enough to make my sales worthwhile.  I'm afraid we've moved on to scented oils and crystals now."

"As far as fragrances go," suggests Tosylle, "I usually wear something light and fresh for morning and afternoon, and then change to something a touch sweeter and more alluring for the evening.  Wearing a scent that is too sweet or heavy earlier in the day usually sends the wrong kind of message to the wrong kind of people."

"Fortunately, I was out of town when that whole mess happened with the tidal wave," Mistress Tosylle says, her eyes gone distant.  "I nearly lost everything. It gave me a new perspective on what's important.

"Scents, aromas and fragrances are so overlooked by people," laments Tosylle to no one in particular.  "They can set moods, influence a person's expectations and convey many different things.  They're amazingly powerful and useful."

"My adoptive father's shop was in the Old Market," muses Tosylle.  "I was never one for standing on tradition, though.  When Saterin's pawnshop closed out, I snatched my old place up in a heartbeat.  They tell me that when the town... came back--" She sounds uncomfortable. "--well, there was a great deal of structural damage.  Lucky for me, I was finally able to reopen with some help from my new investors."  She gets a lazy, satisfied smile at the last pronouncement.

North Room

[Mistsheen, Oils]
Tiered shelves of silvery wood sprout organically from the varnished maoral walls, the crystalline bottles of oil arranged atop them gleaming only slightly brighter than the smooth maoral. The air is heavy with a melange of spice and sweetness, although silk-draped windows let in the fresh sea breeze to leaven the scents.

[Mistsheen, Crystals]
Hanging swathes of pale grey gauze cordon off the alcove from the rest of the shop's spacious interior. Backlit by glowing candles, the cloth shimmers with hints of strange color and hue. A sculpted bronze brazier in the shape of a winged boar casts the cloying scent of burning herbs into the perfumed air.
