Slabs of polished alabaster marble line the walls of the shop, veins of gold glistening in the pale light of a trio of silver lamps that hang from the domed ceiling. A pair of cushioned velvet-covered chairs rest on a thick carpet of woven silk that covers the elegant stone floor. Some dark mahogany bookcases that are filled with various books, tomes, and volumes line the side of the spacious room. Hanging by the entrance is a polished wooden plaque.

On the bottom shelf you see: an onyx-inlaid golden mithril book, a gak suede mithril-trimmed volume, and a narrow black and grey volume.

Item	Type	Info	Details	Price
an onyx-inlaid golden mithril book		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: The center of the golden mithril cover depicts a hyper-realistic onyx triumphal arch carved with miniature mythical beasts and birds, while in each of the book's corners is a piece of onyx cut to resemble a round star ruby. Curved above the arch, in jet black stylized letters edged in bluish white flames, is the title "The Jinn of the Qirnyz Gate." Below the triumphal gate, printed in smaller but still flame-edged letters, are the words "by Nazarr Csaba."	100,000
a gak suede mithril-trimmed volume		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Bands of ornately patterned mithril run along the edges of each pale brown cover and the spine as well. The gak suede cover has been brushed to a fine, soft texture, and square-cut pieces of asterfire quartz adorn the corners of the front cover. Taken together, three lines of embossed script across the front read, "The Rescue of Lord Bleeds, from Yviara Na'Savar's chronicles of the early years of Eahlstan Hjeldin".	100,000
a narrow black and grey volume		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: The fine black leather cover has been inset with several intricately etched pieces of deep grey mithril, forming a rather odd scene: a sleek cat reclines gracefully atop the chest of a dead cave troll, while a huge roa'ter burrows out of the earth in the background. Twin pearls shine from the volume's cover to represent the cat's tilted eyes. A line of Saramar runes has been engraved beneath the dead troll.	100,000

On the middle shelf you see: an agate-inset engraved haon book, a small jade-inlaid book, and a dice-engraved bright silver guidebook.

Item	Type	Info	Details	Price
an agate-inset engraved haon book		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: A heart-shaped moss agate roughly as large as a giantman's thumbprint has been set into the silvery haon cover. The tiny pieces of preserved moss within the agate match the hue of the dark green silk lining the inner cover. An oak twig bent from tip to stem in a circle has been engraved around the agate, with etched acorns and oak leaves projecting on both sides of the circle. Beneath the engraved oak-twig circle, block lettering engraved upon the fine haon reads, "A Ranger's Heart".	100,000
a small jade-inlaid book		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Green, yellow, and brown pieces of jade carved to resemble the leaves, roots, and blossoms of healing herbs have been set into the engraved mithril cover. In languidly curling script, the title reads, "A Pocket Guide to Herb Roulette" and the name "Odevalis Suhestial" has been engraved just below. Where the fine jade inlay does not conceal the mithril, the blue-grey metal has been lightly etched with images of tumbling dice and falling coins.	100,000
a dice-engraved bright silver guidebook		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: The front cover bears the image of two dice sitting on top of an enormous heap of coins. Such fine detail has been paid to etching the coins that the designs of their faces can even be seen, and tiny round pieces of onyx show the pips upon the dice. The spine reads, "Sixes: Instructions on How to Play the Second-Best Party Game Since Terasian Craps", and the back cover displays a dark elven woman with long braided hair as she hastily sweeps gold and gems from a table into a large open sack.	100,000

On the top shelf you see: a vultite-bound darkened suede book, a mithril-gilt scarlet leather book, a bird-painted ivory book, and an onyx-inlaid scarlet mithril tome.

Item	Type	Info	Details	Price
a vultite-bound darkened suede book		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Blued vultite binding forms a solid frame to the thin book. A nameplate of the same pale metal is affixed to the front, where it contrasts sharply against the darkened suede cover. "The Immortal Company" is prominently etched upon the nameplate as tiny snowflakes swirl around in loops and whirls, and a solitary crow wings past beneath. While thin, the book is also oversized, its dimensions more appropriate to a folio than a tome.	100,000
a mithril-gilt scarlet leather book		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: A woman's graceful silhouette has been depicted in mithril upon the burnished scarlet cover. Her bowed head is shown in profile, finely detailed with long lashes, angular features, and several waist-length ringlets of hair slipping down from her shoulders. Tear-cut diamonds and intricate mithril traceries create the image of a delicate crown hovering above the woman's head. Below the train of the woman's gown, silvery letters read "The Fate of a Faendryl Princess, by Gowain Olberath".	100,000
a bird-painted ivory book		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Ibises, hummingbirds, kingfishers, herons, and other beautifully colored birds have been painted upon the carved ivory cover of the book. Dark-scaled snakeskin connects the front and back covers and secures the silvery pages within the volume, and the snakeskin's hue matches the hue of the inlaid spiderweb obsidian tower on the center of the front cover. Deep green jade inlay beneath the tower displays the title and author: "Chronicle of the Ivory Tower, by Chutnee BornOdepression".	100,000
an onyx-inlaid scarlet mithril tome		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Black enamel combines with shards of onyx and obsidian inlay to produce the image of a smoking, ruined city upon the blood-red cover of the volume. Jet black damask lines the inner cover, matching the hue of the destroyed city depicted on the front and the black mithril covering the spine. Two tear-cut rubies have been set along the spine, and writing engraved betwixt the rubies reads, "The Forgotten Faendryl and the Death of the Ashrim: by Ralkir Ralkir Reichtenstein".	100,000

On the top shelf you see: a pearlescent garnet-inlaid tome, a celadon lily-enamelled book, and a spotted gold and black volume.

Item	Type	Info	Details	Price
a pearlescent garnet-inlaid tome		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Lengths of white pumahide connect the hammered vultite covers, and pearl dust clinging to the vultite causes the silvery metal to shimmer slightly. Pieces of deep red garnet have been set into the polished vultite to form the image of a thorny rose twining about a dagger-pierced heart. Slanting script engraved below the design reads, "Mularos: A Study of the Arkati and His Religion." Beneath the title, slightly smaller script reads, "By Tierus Morvaenus".	100,000
a celadon lily-enamelled book		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: The scent of lily blossoms clings softly to the translucent vellum pages. A pair of silver-edged willow leaves has been inked in the upper outside corner of every page, and each page's first letter has been carefully illuminated with emerald and silver paints. Deep jade hues have been used for the elegant script coursing over the page, and the words on the page are as neat and precise as if each letter had been stamped from a mold.	100,000
a spotted gold and black volume		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Patterns of stripes, streaks, and spots executed in combinations of gold and black mithril flow over the surface of the book. Although initially appearing chaotic, a rhythm to the pattern emerges when one long gold streak is recognized as the sunlight-splashed trunk of a tree, and then it only takes a moment longer to spy the calm leopard lounging across a leafy branch. Rather than being spotted like the covers, the spine is pure gold, and it bears the engraved words, "Andelasian Art of the Hunt".	100,000

On the middle shelf you see: a crystal-inset grey leather volume, a bejeweled leaf-green tome, a scarlet leather-bound psalter, and an emerald-set ebony book.

Item	Type	Info	Details	Price
a crystal-inset grey leather volume		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Two round pieces of translucent crystal have been inset side-by-side halfway down the front cover, one dark and one light. The hues of the crystals are such that the color of the leather is precisely halfway between the two, and a sideways figure-eight has been traced in silver upon the cover with one loop encircling each of the crystals. Simple silver lettering above the twin crystals reads, "Walking the Path of Neutrality", while matching lettering below the crystals reads, "By Cappurnicus Calerous".	100,000
a bejeweled leaf-green tome		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Three lines of inset gems spiral over the green mithril from the outer edges of the front cover to a common center. One of the spiralling lines is made of sparkling ocean blue sapphires, one is made of glittering flame-bright rubies, and the third is made of scintillating diamonds, while a pure white soulstone gleams softly at the center of the vortex. A stylized heart has been etched around the shimmering soulstone, and letters engraved beneath the spiral read, "The Heart of Elanthia, by Songowl".	100,000
a scarlet leather-bound psalter		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Bound in scarlet leather, the cover of the thin psalter is embossed in silver with an anatomically detailed, pierced heart. Along the spine, in matching metallic foil are the words, "Seven Hymns for the Pierced of Heart" by Naamit DMVMD-Braggiani."	100,000
an emerald-set ebony book		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Two marquise-cut pieces of emerald have been set into the pure black ebony with the tilt, size, and separation of a distant panther's eyes. A delicate tracery of etched lines surrounds the twin emerald eyes with the powerful body of the cat represented, though the etching is so light as to be almost invisible to sight and detectable by touch alone. There is no other engraving or ornamentation upon the ebony; the spine and the back cover are flawlessly smooth and dark.	100,000

On the bottom shelf you see: a reddish-gold onyx-inlaid tome and a ruby-inlaid white mithril book.

Item	Type	Info	Details	Price
a reddish-gold onyx-inlaid tome		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Ornately gilded flames gleam upon the scarlet leather, and brilliant gold inlay has also been used to write the words, "The Legend of Winterbane" across the top of the front cover. A carved black diamond scimitar has been set into the leather just below the title. More gold lettering runs beneath the scimitar's onyx hilt: "By Tanager Skydancing".	100,000
a ruby-inlaid white mithril book		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Carved pieces of sylvarraend ruby shine from the surface of the front cover, where the blood red gems form the image of a heart wreathed in twisting tendrils of flame. Soft white suede lines the inside cover, but its hue seems muted when compared to the gleaming white hue of the smooth, polished mithril cover. Elegant script engraved along the spine reads, "Salvation - From the Heart of a Poet".	100,000

On the top shelf you see: a slim leather-bound volume, a warped vruul leather grimoire, a mithril-gilt cream leather cookbook, and a deep green tree-engraved handbook.

Item	Type	Info	Details	Price
a slim leather-bound volume		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: An elaborate pattern of tooling covers the book's leather binding with a tangle of branches and leaves. Centered on the front cover is a spreading rack of antlers crowning the brow of a stag, though much of its head is obscured by the encroaching foliage. Blackened letters along the spine proclaim the volume's title: "Where Instinct Meets Intellect: Aspects of the Wild Hunt."	100,000
a warped vruul leather grimoire		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Warped along its uneven surfaces, the leather is molded to give the impression of a dark forest, with red stains on its twisted trees. In the subtle contours of the embossing lay hidden forms as if on the edge of existence, including an island castle and a skeletal tower veiled in misty swirls of discoloration. Within the fog are weeping and laughing faces, contorted with the suffering of manic joy. The spine is engraved "The Malevolent Incarnated: Dark Spirits and the Demonic" by "Lord Xorus Kul'shin".	100,000
a mithril-gilt cream leather cookbook		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Bands of silvery-blue mithril engraved with the images of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries reinforce the fine cream-colored leather of the cookbook. A round cooking oven with tendrils of smoke rising from its half-open door has been embossed on the front of the cookbook, and large fancy letters traced in mithril above the oven's image read, "Yummy Stuff!" Smaller letters underneath the image of the oven read, "by Leedle Beitt".	100,000
a deep green tree-engraved handbook		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: The image of a small torban tree has been engraved upon the deep green mithril cover. Each of its leaves has been depicted with two inlaid pieces of green sapphire, with a small division between the two to reveal the darker mithril beneath and suggest the leaf's central vein. Chalcedony lettering inlaid beneath the torban tree reads, "Hunter Heal Thyself", and etched lettering below that reads, "A reference for foraging herbs, written by Strathe and Antalya duBane".	100,000

On the middle shelf you see: an inky black morduska hide book, a silver-edged enameled brown volume, and an obsidian rose-embossed tome.

Item	Type	Info	Details	Price
an inky black morduska hide book		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: A blackened silver arrowhead pierces the rough morduska hide of the book, its muted surface laying flat against the cover. Careful stitchery blends invisibly with the outer surface but stands out stark against the inner lining of creamy vellum. The spine is capped with smoothed yierka hide dyed traditional ahdmir blue and stamped with a small 'Vol.1' at its base.	100,000
a silver-edged enameled brown volume		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Hammered silver modwir leaves cover the spine and form a gleaming silver border to the enameled front cover. The fine brown leather bears the image of a yawning cavern, with streaks of chalky orange and glimmering red defining the rocks at the edge of the cavern and sunlight striking the last stalactites visible within its maw. Inlaid silver lettering beneath the fine enamel reads, "The Lost Lands: Yuriqen, Caverndeep, and Others", followed by, in smaller script, "Geremiah Newhall".	100,000
an obsidian rose-embossed tome		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Deep blue leather binds the tome, and the visible edges of the pages shine with silver. Shards of gleaming obsidian form the image of a twining black rose in the center of the front cover. Stamped in silver beneath the rose are the words, "The Dhe'nar, a Primer for the Uninformed", and, just below the first line, "Krissella Tr'Baren, umesha'a of the Obsidian Tower". On the back surface, intricately carved pieces of obsidian and amethyst display the crest of the Dhe'nar.	100,000

On the bottom shelf you see: a gleaming blue feather-adorned guidebook, a jade-slashed golden silk book, and a sun and phoenix painted volume.

Item	Type	Info	Details	Price
a gleaming blue feather-adorned guidebook		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: A slim leather thong hanging from the guidebook's spine supports a pair of dark blue storm griffin feathers. The spine itself is pale blue mithril, as are both covers, and a pattern of arrows flying among swirling feathers has been engraved over covers and spine alike. Sapphire inlay on the front cover spells out the title, "Elanthia's Four Deadliest Avians", above the block-lettered words "From the Travel Journals of Gespry Kastellion".	100,000
a jade-slashed golden silk book		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: The spine of the book is bound in brushed suede embossed with gold-dusted flourishes, which mimic the subtle variances created in the book's silk-shrouded face by a unique shade of gold dye. Diagonally across the cover of the book, a slash of jade marbrinus can be seen and is overlaid with an ebon-bladed fan. Above the fan, the book's title, "The Rose's Thorn," and beneath, the author's name, "Lisera Narma," are embroidered in iridescent black threading.	100,000
a sun and phoenix painted volume		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Ebon silk is painted brightly with a crimson phoenix rising above a golden sun. Pale coral lettering spells out "Triumph of the Light" by Lord Krisenfest Rote-Kapelle	100,000

Item	Type	Info	Details	Price
a smoke grey gold-inlaid book		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: The smoke grey mithril of the book has been engraved with an intricate pattern of swirls and geometric patterns. At the center of the design, a rearing mithril horse bearing a grim knight is silhouetted against an inlaid golden sun. Fiery tendrils of gold radiate from the sun like lightning radiating from storm clouds, and more gold inlay beneath the horse's hooves reads, "The Day -- by Ramladu Stormcheck".	100,000
a mottled umber leather tome		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: Fine golden mithril edges the burnished brown leather, which is dyed in an even mottled pattern not unlike the pattern on a piece of fossilized coral. A small golden crossed-sabers signet rests on the book's wide spine, while the front cover bears a gilded border. Within the slim, solid border, a double row of gold-stamped lettering reads, "Aramur Kysus and the Evolution of the Imperial Turamzyrrian Army".	100,000

On the middle shelf you see: a grey leather pentacle-inset book and a silver-edged crimson leather volume.

Item	Type	Info	Details	Price
a grey leather pentacle-inset book		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: This simple appearing volume reveals its true craftsmanship upon closer inspection. The leather is supple, smooth and well cared for. The pentacle in the center of the cover is filled with crushed despanal. Flowing down from the pentacle, the despanal forms the name "Despana" in bold lettering. In the lower right corner, almost as an afterthought, it shows the author's signature: "by Maltreis Eilindel Faendryl".	100,000
a silver-edged crimson leather volume		< 1 lb	Gloumerrick book Show Show: The book's crimson leather cover is embossed with a pattern of lor leaves and twining branches surrounding a simple repeating pentacle design as a trellis.
