Crystal Sphinx Arcana

Crystal Sphinx Arcana is a magic shop located in the Ariljaa District of southern Kharkorhum, managed by Tomorbaatar-yin ökin Odval. She runs the shop alone and is attended in the day by her son Sutekh, the androsphinx. Sometimes her spouse Yotul can be found here when she is not waging war with the rest of the Jade Horde.

Appearance
''As you enter the Crystal Sphinx Arcana, you're caught off guard by the ground appearing to disappear into an endless crystal plane with a thousand facets, twinkling mischievously in the light from the large windows. The smell of incense and fresh flowers lingers in the air, and the few lanterns hung from the rafters sway gently in a light breeze. Around the shop on glass shelves, various magic items sit for your perusal, some of them floating in their own little world while others lie dormant, waiting for your touch.''

''At the counter on the right side of the shop, a middle-aged human woman is carefully cleaning a chalice of some kind. A pair of glasses with multiple lenses rests on the bridge of her nose. True to the name, a crystal ball sits on the corner of the counter, cloud obscuring it's mist. Her hair is mousy and up in a tight bun, and the wrinkles at the corner of her mouth tell of a life lived with much laughter.''

''(Player), you hear a creaking from the rafters above you. Slowly, a paw that would look more home on a bear reaches down towards your exposed head, before it sways back, coming forward to swat the back of your head. Above you, you see an androsphinx, with a messy mop of hair that obscures his eyes disappearing into a pathetic mane around his neck. His face looks young and little marks of acne dot his face like stars. A pair of knobbly wings with feathers grown in patches is tucked close to his body. He seems proud of himself. ''

"Sutekh. Be nice to our guests."

''His face screws up. "Sorry. maama."''
