Under Cover

Under Cover is a bookstore specializing in banned books in the Northern Underground of Kharkorhum. The proprietor of the shop is Yvarel, a high elf warlock in a questionable state of being alive.

In-Game Description
''The Under Cover bookstore is tucked securely between two residences, and as you open the door, a veritable forest of bells ring together to announce your arrival. As you turn the corner around a bookshelf, you find the store's proprietor in a black robe petting a jellyfish-like creature, floating in midair, apparently distraught. One entire side of the store is soaked in some kind of secretion. As she turns her eyes to you, the flumph in her arms upsets, and she strokes it's eyestalks soothingly.''

''"Sticky, sticky," she whispers, looking at the carnage. "She'll soak it back up, but I must ask you to abstain from touching... those parts of my personal collection. Approach me with questions, yes?" Unfortunately, most of the fiction section seems to be soaked, but you can peruse the non-fiction section at your will. ''

Expanding Knowledge
Yvarel will pay player characters 10g per published book they find out in the world and 25g to 100g for personal accounts, diaries, or other non-published works (nonfiction or fiction).

Books
Unsurprisingly, Yvarel houses a lot of books in her shop. The categories are split into fiction and non-fiction; fiction books include romance, poems, fantasy, horror, crime, theatre, and mystery. Non-fiction books include guides, religious texts, memoirs, journals, biographies, and encyclopedias.
