Greenthistle Goods
Exotic Imports • Rare Trade Goods
Owner: Orin Greenthistle
Tucked into a sloped cobbled street just off the bustling university square, Greenthistle Goods is a haven for the curious, the eccentric, and the dangerously well-read. The storefront is a riot of color: silk banners drift lazily in the breeze, and strings of tiny enchanted lanterns blink in unknown patterns above the door. Inside, the scent of spiced tea, old parchment, and jungle rain clings to the air.
Though surrounded by lecture halls and bookstores, Greenthistle Goods offers something no university catalog can: the strange, the rare, the unclassified. Shelves sag under the weight of artifacts and imports from across Aurelia and beyond—elven wines, enchanted chalk, sea glass scrying bowls, even a preserved bog toad said to hum during eclipses.
Orin Greenthistle, a sharply dressed halfling with quick eyes and quicker wit, proudly claims to be “licensed in every city that matters, and a few that don’t.” He’s often seen bartering with adventurers, scholars, or black-robed professors whispering about "fieldwork." His reputation? Equal parts respectable merchant and charming fence.
Highlights:
- A teakwood display case houses locked “conversation starters,” including cursed statuettes and spell-eating coins.
- A ceiling hammock of shimmering scarves from the Eastern Reaches dangles above a shelf of runed journals and whisper-bottles.
- Local students come for rare inks, desert paper, or the occasional distraction in the form of a puzzle box or pocket portal.
Whether you're a professor hunting a component banned by the alchemy guild or a student looking to impress your peers with an "accidentally glowing" cloak pin, Greenthistle Goods promises one thing: You’ll leave with something you didn’t know you needed.
