Run for Cover

Elise is the proprietor of the bookstore that can be found in the southernmost tip of the old city in Bridgeport's. The customer has the option to buy, rent, or trade in any book in the shop for another title of their choosing. In addition, there are a number of textual scrolls and maps accessible. The Geetruud Smallbottom novels are an exception to this rule because they are not for sale.
Elise makes a daily trip to Lili's Orphanage, where she spends time with the kids and tells them stories. Every friday in the late evening, she may be seen in the nearby inn known as The Pantry, where she reads some savoury stories or poetry.

Architecture

It is a really small store, just a tiny bit wider than its entrance door. In fact, someone just filled up the narrow space between the two houses left and right with "house", up to the second floor. With heavy wooden bookshelves sitting on both sidewalls, containers with old scrolls and waist-high stacks of books everywhere on the floor it is nearly impossible to pass a person that is moving in the opposite direction. Both people have to turn sideways and slowly shuffle along the shelves until they have passed each other.
On each level of the house, a wooden ladder leads up to the next floor above. There is also a rope hanging down, flung over a small wheel at the top ceiling. It's being used to pull up or let down a bucket with books. At the bottom level, the store has a (not so well) hidden trap door that leads into a small basement room filled with old chests containing ancient books, scrolls and maps.

Not everyone is pleased with the construction of the new channel, leading to a surge in violent resistance...
