2017 Inventory

a warped ebonwood door fitted into the shale walls, [Map Room #], Lich #26473, go door

[The Third Eye]
Witch-balls, suspended from the ceiling by bits of twine, dangle at varying lengths, their candle-lit bodies spilling a golden glow upon the refurbished floorboards. Recesses carved into the granite walls display a variety of wares under the watchful eye of a young giantwoman. Near the back of the shop, a coin-edged velvet curtain provides entry to a backroom.
Obvious exits: out
>ask giantwoman about mist
Quickly warding herself, the giantwoman doesn't meet your eyes as she says, "Fey things are at work with that and no good will come of it.  No good."

>ask giantwoman about case
The giantwoman brightens as she hears the query, "The cases," she repeats.  "Why they are the devices used by the Truefolk for divination.  Surely, you've seen them before."

>ask giantwoman about niches
Smiling, the giantwoman nods slowly and says, "Each niche is filled with a different kind of scrying device.  We have many different kinds available.  Please feel free to ask me about each item."

>ask giantwoman about crystal ball
"Well," the giantwoman begins, "The crystal balls are very handy tools that will provide a yes or no pathway for you to follow.  Sometimes, they are emphatic about the answer, while others less so.  And my mistress can customize them in no time flat.  For a fee, that is."

>ask giantwoman about pouches
Glancing at one of the recesses, the giantwoman slowly confesses, "I'm not very good with that method.  The ways of the Human Seers elude me for some reason.  All those stones are confusing."

>ask giantwoman about sand
Smiling brightly, the giantwoman says, "My mistress went to great pains to dye those sands.  They are for the Tehir method... What is it called?  It's just on the tip of my tongue... "  Shrugging, she says, "Nothing to fear, it will come to me."

>ask giantwoman about blades
Frowning for a fraction of a second, the giantwoman says, "I'm not fond of the blades.  But my Mistress says that every scrying method should be honored."  Glancing around to see if anyone else is listening, she says, "They are for the practice of Haruspex."

In the thin cloth-lined niche you see:

a femur-hilted obsidian zirah bouk
You analyze your obsidian zirah bouk and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This is the blade of an Apdo Gno Burzka'ask, which is a Krolvin seer. It will gut an animal, and only an animal, to steal its organs. You can do this by typing POINT zirah bouk at {animal}. It is your task to divine the future from those organs.

This particular zirah bouk is at the off-the-shelf tiering and can be unlocked once, and it traps for point, rub, and exhale.

It has a chance to create one of four different types of organs.

You may alter this zirah bouk freely, but please try to keep its material as either glass, obsidian, or metal. It should only ever be a small knife or dagger, and it can never have any kind of special flares, weighting, or enhancive abilities.

In the narrow white-lined niche you see:

an earthy brown crystal sphere
You analyze the clear crystal orb and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item type should not change."

The creator has also provided the following information:
A hoarfrost clear crystal orb must remain glass and stay some sort of sphere, orb, ball, or crystal ball.
The orb can be altered to have a unique long description only.  It can also be engraved with an inscription.
Any of the bolded sections in the show description can be changed by a talented magical merchant:
A perfectly round niveous crystal ball rests on a carved elk antler base.  Within the glass, chilling frost trails the across surface in spiderweb patterns that reshape themselves at every turn.  Motes of ice blue light wink in and out of existence within the depths of the orb.
A talented merchant could add a custom fortune to the orb.

This item can be altered with a long or a show, but must remain a bag, purse, poke, or pouch and must be made from a fabric that would be found in the Human Empire.  Examples are: silk, cotton, linen, suede, and brocades.  Leather, chainsil, marbrinus, bourde, or cordetum are not allowed.
