INTRODUCTIONIn your travels, you've come far, but your paws never bore to a place as strange as what lay before you. Ravens' wings beat and harsh caws fill what would be silence, interrupted in intervals by an eerie breeze. Lightning splits across a sky lit by a dying sun. Rain patters against dry earth, setting dust to swirl about. A shiver races down your spine; you can't help but feel as though someone...or perhaps even something...is watching you. Soft paws approach, drawing your attention from such strange tidings to look up to see who it is that approaches. "What brings you to my domain?" Echoing, otherworldly, like a whisper of ghosts far from a warm den's shelter, her voice evokes memories of darkest nights lit by nothing by distant starlight; her darkness, her starlight. Ears drawing forward, alert and wary, she stands tall, to her full height. Small though she is, her demeanor more than compensates. "I advise you answer," she warns. |

AMUSEMENTDepeche watches as you pad on from her table of food offerings to stand before another table. A breeze sweeps through, setting a small feather aloft to land on your nose. It tickles! As you sneeze it into flight once more, you watch it glide away, your eyes left to wander across a host of bright feathers and fresh bones. Depeche laughs at your feathery plight. "Bested by a feather?" she gently teases. "Don't worry; it happens to even a wolf most mighty. As you can see, we've a selection of amusement items to choose from! Can't let your pack get bored, can we?" |

HERBSDepeche rolls onto her side to observe you as you pad deeper into her cave of wares, a grin splitting her face as you wrinkle your nose. A pungent aroma assaults your senses, and you easily determine its source: a table, every inch covered by a variety of herbs, most freshly foraged. Strong, aren't they?" Depeche laughs. "I needed almost a full moon's cycle before I acclimated to such a stench. But each has its use, and not a single one of those plants is to be discounted. I've saved countless members of my pack using those herbs' power. I'm certain your own herbalist would be glad to acquire and put to use some of my collection." |

MEDICINESAs you on from what herbs Depeche has arrayed, another table close at paw catches your attention. Bottles and pouches, bright in color and expertly labeled, sit in neat rows on this surface. Depeche, seeing your newest interest, quips, "Perhaps your herbalist still needs to learn a thing or two? We all need time to be our best; I may be talented, but I'm no pup-prodigy!" After a breathy laugh in that unsettling voice, she goes on. "My pack is healthy. We've plenty of medicine to spare. As such, our excess remedies are available for purchase. Don't see something you need in stock? Not to worry. I'm always happy to craft medicines by request, so long as I've materials to use and proper compensation is offered, of course." Common Medicines: 400 or 1 each Uncommon Medicines: 600 or 1 Rare Medicines: 800 or 2 each Healing Salves: 1 for five (5) salves ════════ |

BIOME GOODSAs you continue to wander about Depeche's cave intently, you stand before yet another table, but this one bears nothing but...leaves? Upon closer inspection, you notice upon each leaf is scrawled a note: a name and a price. Seeing your perplexed expression, Depeche explains. "Oh. Those. Well, you see, we engage that fellow called Raccoon in business engagements from time to time. Odd little thing, that one. Regardless, A New Dawn thought it best to offer what wares Raccoon offers us to you, and I concurred. I hear he offers different things to different wolves, depending on what territory they elect to settle. As we are located in these glorious prairies, we've a different selection of wares! See something you'd liked from that insufferable rodent? Bring me what leaflet corresponds to your desired item and I'll send one of our adolescents to run it there and bring it here. All I ask in return is equitable compensation. Simple, yes?"
