A bone-shrouded tribeswoman hawks her wares from a tribal tent found within the hidden halls of Boldarihm.

Wares

a flute of yellowed bone - 17500gp
Crafted from a slender piece of bone, the instrument is smoothly rounded, its surface a pale off-yellow colour. Several holes are bored into the body of the flute, evenly spaced and sized along its length. Lacking any other adornment, the spaces around each note are marked with varying patterns of geometrical lines, etched deeply into the bone surface. A thin strap of yellowed leather is bound to each end, allowing it to be easily carried over a shoulder.
a bundle of silvery grasses - 750gp
Tied with a length of twine, this bundle of tall grasses possesses an unusual, silvered hue. Moisture and drops of dew cling still to the vivid argent stalks, further enhancing their silky paleness.
a charred grey herb - 550gp
Though otherwise unremarkable, this slender herb looks to have been subjected to the effects of fire at some indeterminate point in the past. Much of it looks blackened and twisted, and what is not otherwise burnt looks heavily discoloured and greyish.
a crimson leaf - 550gp
Though otherwise unremarkable, this slender herb looks to have been subjected to the effects of fire at some indeterminate point in the past. Much of it looks blackened and twisted, and what is not otherwise burnt looks heavily discoloured and greyish.
an unusual purple fruit - 125gp
The glossy purple skin of this round fruit is firm and unyielding, its many and minute maroon-brown protrusions responsible for its scaled appearance. Just shy of sharp enough to break skin, the protrusions are nonetheless easily removable, the purple shell coming easily apart in their absence. Beneath it, the fruit is a bright, sunny yellow, oily to the touch, and wafts a salty-sweet scent.
a pale bone knife - 7500gp
Intricate in its detailing, this short knife is entirely carved from a single piece of bleached bone. The short grip, bound with twine for ease of handling, abruptly gives way to a crooked, sharpened length that tapers to a singular and wicked point. On the opposite end, a round stub of unworked bone remains to serve as both larger grip and counterweight.
a small rodent skull - 1250gp
Bleached and polished to an almost unnatural white sheen, this rodent skull is small enough to rest neatly in a single hand. Wickedly curved fangs interlock at its face, while its empty sockets stare in all directions. An inconspicuous pin of pale wood on either side allows the jaw to move as in life, though with significant resistance.
