Exotic Animals
Minak al-Zafyi, Exotic Animals: Minak, has a small tent that is very aromatic, to say the least. It is full of cages of songbirds, partridges, monkeys, falcons, cats (both winged and domestic), puppies, peacocks, and his prized exhibit, a young elephant bird. Minak is also willing to deal for camels, elephants, ostriches, war dogs, and water buffalo - if it belongs to the animal kingdom, Minak can get it. At least, this is his boast.
He has excellent contacts in the Caravan District, and can indeed get customers a good deal on horses or camels. He wants 5,000 dinars for the elephant bird, although it is getting pretty expensive to keep, so he may have to drop his price.
Minak is a tall, striking elf. He cares a great deal for his animals. Someone who shows they care for an animal has a much better chance of haggling with him. Minak judges people by how his animals react to them. This has served him well in the past and should continue to do so. If animals don't like you, then Minak doesn't either.
