Al The shopkeeper
Al is a vibrant and charismatic triton who recently opened his magical goods store in the bustling streets of Yaaverlan. His appearance is as striking as his personality: shimmering blue-green skin reminiscent of tropical waters, long flowing hair resembling seaweed, and eyes that gleam like pearls. He wears a loose-fitting robe adorned with oceanic motifs, such as coral patterns and shell embroidery, hinting at his marine heritage. A perpetual smile graces his face, making him approachable to even the wariest of customers.
The shop itself is a modest but inviting space nestled near the shadow of the giant sword Yaaverlan. Its entrance is marked by a signboard carved from driftwood, with the words “Al’s Arcane Curiosities” painted in luminescent ink that seems to pulse like the tide. Inside, the air is tinged with the scent of saltwater and faintly glowing orbs of light float above shelves stocked with peculiar wares.
Al specializes in unique magical items, particularly those with aquatic origins or themes. His inventory includes enchanted conch shells that mimic the sound of crashing waves, potions brewed from rare seaweeds, and pearls imbued with minor spells. Al is still learning the intricacies of running a business and occasionally gets overly excited, offering discounts or adding freebies to purchases.
Despite his inexperience, Al's genuine enthusiasm and knack for storytelling quickly attract a loyal clientele. He loves to regale customers with tales of underwater adventures and the treasures he’s gathered from the ocean depths. Al’s friendly demeanor, coupled with his willingness to negotiate, makes his shop a favorite stop for adventurers and locals alike.
