Fierce Stripe
The gnome Chesne of House Yuriel runs the Fierce Stripe, a tightly packed shop offering all things badger related. As creatures of great importance to Absalom, badgers are extremely popular in Westgate and have almost entirely replaced dogs and cats as pets in the district. Members of the Tri-Stripe Society flock to the shop for monthly meetings and tea to discuss the latest news and badger shows. Westgate even has its own badger breeds, such as the amberbrock, unseen elsewhere in the Inner Sea region. The tunnel brach badger is a particularly popular breed due to their less territorial nature and their ease of domesticity; in addition to making good companions, their tendency to hunt and eat rodents and other vermin helps keep the streets clear and minimize potential health hazards. Chesne is renowned for her ability to acquire any kind of badger a customer could want. Her staff also offers training and grooming services for the animals. The shop specializes in the creation of badger warrens for anywhere from one to as many as fifteen badgers. Additionally, the shop offers a wide range of equipment for badger familiars and animal companions, including barding. New badger owners can even take classes in the rearing and care of their new pets. Adventurers are sometimes hired for various badger-related missions, such as acquiring rare and far away badgers, recovering lost or kidnapped badgers, or just helping out around the shop.
