This shop is roughly divided down its center into two sections. To the right are rows of glass cases, inside of which
rest groups of items that range from fine inks and quills to sturdy hammers and chisels. To the left, musical instruments of all kinds hang from hooks. The gnome proprietor sits on a stool at a desk near the front door, where he meticulously cleans a set of tinker’s tools.


Zook Ganook is the owner of the shop for the last 150 years and a staple on block.
