Books and Scrolls
The shop is filled to the brim with books, scrolls, and maps. Since Zann mystics believe that it is the act of reading that is important, and not comprehension, Aziza sees no need to get really familiar with her stock.
Customers who wish to spend enough time searching can possibly (10% chance per hour) locate a spell book or other important research item. There are no less than three spell books in the stock, none with spells above 5th level.
Also to be found with a determined search is a scroll with information about yak-men, describing the spells used to keep rivals from conceiving male children. A member of the Grand Caliph's court could get much use out of it, for such a problem faces the Grand Caliph right now. The PCs must state that they are searching for such a scroll, and even then it takes six hours of poring through old books and scrolls to discover it. It is buried under a pile of scrolls and books, and the chance of stumbling on it accidentally is only 3%.
Aziza is a competent mystic, and she is also a good judge of people. She has a small reputation in the Court District, and her shop is located just north of that area, in the more affordable Pilgrims' District. Her rates are a bit steep: 125 dinars is her asking price for a reading. Aziza always delivers a prophecy; if she gets no genuine reading, she is good at delivering a broad statement that can be interpreted in several ways by the listener.
