Lyric's Relics and Rarities

For those seeking the rare, the mysterious, and sometimes the cursed. A slender Tabaxi with snow-white fur and a penchant for collecting the odd and obscure, Annelies sources her items from the ruins of fallen empires, often partnering with explorers and treasure hunters who bring her the strange, arcane relics of ancient times. Her stall is dimly lit, with items displayed on black velvet, exuding an aura of danger and mystery. Petrified statues, forgotten holy books, and forbidden texts sit side by side with ancient magic rings and artifacts from the Olmoy Empire.

Lyric's specializes in cursed items and artifacts of questionable morality, which is why she is frequently at odds with the Iron Guard but adored by collectors with a taste for the forbidden. It's said that she possesses an idol of a forgotten god that grants immense power—at a terrible cost. The Seven Sins thugs often visit her stall, keeping a close eye on her transactions, as they know well the power and danger her items hold. Lyric is always cool under pressure, trading in whispers and secrets, her every sale a quiet rebellion against the order that governs Seregon.

These items are mysterious, often dangerous, and highly valuable due to their rarity, power, and potential for corruption or enlightenment.
