"Many rumors exist among the chatty Catventurers, but none are as persistent as that of a mysterious store. Some say it moves from place to place, sometimes within the blink of an eye. Others whisper about the cloaked figure seated behind the counter. But all agree on its goods, powerful and valuable beyond compare, with a price tag to match..."
