Ed & Lorraine's Curio of Curiosity
Founder:
Ed and Lorraine, despite their older age, travel across Volkyr to show off their collection and "educate" others about the terrible spirts that they dispatched in their travels. They seem kind and genuine, but doubting what they say will cause them to grow increasingly irritated until they reach their limit and kick you out of their tent.Shop Appearance
All of Ed and Lorraine's goods can fit into a single curio cabinet. With the size and quantity of the items that they have, it can be assumed that the curio cabinet is enchanted to offer more space. When looking to show off their wares, they will set up a large tent, which they charge a small fee to enter. Once inside, patrons can see hundreds of items on display, all of which have a story attached.Items to View
