Aoethas' Shop Wares

Dwarven bone pipe - 200gp

Carved from a single bleached and polished bone, this pipe is an example of expert dwarven craftsmanship. Long-stemmed, its design is fluid, curving slightly where it meets the large bowl. Interlocking, swirling designs trace across its graceful length, deeply etched into the surface. Glittering quartz dust sparkles throughout, catching the light and casting an even shimmer over the otherwise unblemished ivory.

Shaggy sheepskin backpack - 500gp

Made from the pelt of a mountain sheep, this pack's exterior is a shaggy, off-white wool. A leather strip ties it closed, and an assortment of pockets are sewn into it both in and out. Its straps are also made of a thick leather, holding up a pack that seems to be a bit smaller than usual. A strange scent indicates it has been treated somehow to resist the ravages of rain.

Pleated kilt with a dwarven clasp - 250gp

This kilt is made of a soft wool, not too itchy, and dyed in an array of dark colours. Though a bit short on a human, it is a nice size for a dwarf, and, indeed, the clasp that holds it on the waist shows clear signs of dwarven craftsmanship. The buckle is a humble circle of metal, with a horizontal and vertical bar slicing through its surface, and an ingenious indentation chipped into each line. The engravings are diamond-shaped and amazingly small, but reflect the light in an interesting way that makes the metal shine as brightly as finely wrought silver.

Leather sporran trimmed in bear fur - 400gp

Hard leather forms this hefty pouch, its sturdy make intended to weather the rugged and freezing environs of the northern mountains. Dyed dark as coal, shaggy bear fur trims the face and trails slightly past the bottom of the bag in an artfully knotted fringe. Heavy lines weave and wind down the sides of the flap and conclude sharply at the centre, where a circular silver clasp embellishes the design. Diamond-shaped etchings glint within the pattern, granting the metal a lustre not unlike that possessed by the gemstones that they mimic. A thick cord secures the sporran in place, allowing it to hang low over the hip and perfectly accentuate a well-tailored kilt.
