Pawnbrokership of Vesper
Vesper’s Pawnshop on Snake Street specializes in art objects and jewelry, high-quality armor and weapons, and even minor magical items. The value of all the goods here is believed enormous, but the place has stone walls, barred windows, and (it is rumoured) many magical and mechanical traps. The shop is operated by a half-elf named Vesper Lafanel. It is widely believed that Vesper is not a person to cross, and some whisper that he has connections to hired killers in the city. As a result, only the very desperate or insane attempt to rob his pawnshop. No one has done so in many years and lived to talk about it. Normal people avoid the place like the plague, but wealthy and brave (or stupid) people can find very strange and unusual artworks here.
Like so many businesses in the Old City Vesper’s is protected by stone walls and heavy bars over the windows. He even lowers a miniature portcullis behind the only door at night.
