A luminar from Eredar. In Kowal to help magic users.

Biena is average height, just above five and a half heads. Her countenance seems ageless, though her eyes hold wisdom, and a little mischief. Her hair is black, with small wisps of gray which weave themselves through the thick braids she wears as a hairstyle. A pale gray robe splits at the belt line, allowing her leather clad legs easy movement. Small pouches line her leather belts and sash. A long slender knife sits at her hip, the scabbard ornate but worn. A luminous white stone is affixed to a ornate silver ring adorns her right hand.

Biena is a wizard from Eredar, and she has come to Kowal to help those who practice magic in secret. She has helped set up safe houses, as well as a couple underground routes of escape. She is a Wanderer and was a companion of Martyn before they both retired from the road.

Bizarre Bazaar

Bizarre Bazaar is an oddities and specialty shop located in North Kowal. The owner, Kabir Chaudhary, is a straightforward man who just wants a good deal and the best items. He is a hard man to barter with, but he is fair. He deals in contraband, with seemingly no fear for himself.

This three story shop is painting gaudy colors and has all manner of tapestries hanging from flag poles, beams, or plaster walls. The bright green front doors stand open and the smell of incense drifts out.

Inside fabrics of all kinds line tables, while more valuable looking items are behind glass. Everywhere you look strange things can be seen. A rat skeleton with the head of a fish. A moth three times the normal size skewered to a board. Skins from unknown creatures. Many containers covered in runes or symbols. Along the back wall, behind the counter weapons and armor hang from pegs in the warm wooden walls.

A man sits behind the counter, a broad smile flashing white and gold teeth under a healthy moustache. His thin frame hunches slightly, but his fingers and deft and seemingly in constant motion. His brown skin is extenuated by the garish colors he wears.

Welcome welcome my friends. Welcome to the Bizarre Bazaar.

Cats Herbs

A small shop in the Northeastern part of Kowal, it is across from Hynes Park. It is a both a storefront and the home of the Catniks. They make all sorts of poultices, herbal remedies, and potions. They all work with varying degrees of success.
You approach a small two story building, its foundation solid, but the whole structure leans back and forth as if the builder has been drunk. The windows are all covered in glass, a rare commodity, but they are yellowed from the inside. You open the crooked door and the smells of herbs and incense hit you.

Bottle, vials, and pouches hang everywhere. Herbs hang drying in every available space. 4 different cats lounge in various places about the small shop. A tall broad man, with hunched shoulders and small glass walks to the front counter.

“Well, ahhh, hello there. What might you need?” His accent is thick.

Behind him a woman, looks up from grinding something into a bright purple powder. Her eyes are kind and her smile welcoming.
