On the outskirts of the city just before the Willow Woods begins, Lies a large animal sanctuary that bustles with life. It was originally the Home of Zuroni, a veterinarian who often took in injured animals and brought them back to health. The mans good will attracted the attention of local Tunawa who began bringing him even more creatures in need of his care. Space became limited quickly and together with the Tunawa, Zuroni was able to build a space that could house quite a bit of different creatures and Tunawa alike.
It is now a small town where Tunawa and animals live, and a place where residence of Ne'hear can come to adopt or learn to train their animals. The animal fences in the sanctuary are actually made of stacked up Tunawa houses and buildings, and the massive cages are littered with tiny stairways and bridges for the tunawa to easily travel about. large trees filled with various birds and vibrant plant life decorate the landscape to make the animals and tunawa feel more at home.
The tunawa are most proud of the assortment of obstacle courses they constructed to aid in training and rehabilitation. They put a great deal of effort into making elevating by levels of difficulty so that every animal could feel challenged but comfortable.
The money Zuroni makes from selling the animals goes directly into keeping the sanctuary alive and towards building new additions. It is advised that you take care of the pets you adopt because the Tunawa are know to keep tabs on customers from time to time.

Jovira "Jovi" Qau'fnaj is one of the more familiar Biqaj faces around Ne'Haer. This bright eyed, ever-smiling fishmonger can often be found along the ports selling her crew's daily catch. Rumors have it she might even haggle a bit, if someone can pique her interests. When not selling fish, Jovira can be found wandering the city, though she's mostly likely to be found around the City Square and nearby locations. A seeming inhabitant of Ne'Haer (though merely a Biqaj making business in the city with her Clan), it's not unlike Jovira to be found at other locations or to tag along to cultural events throughout the city. Outgoing, friendly, and a bit on the wild side, she seems to be a wonderful person to befriend. There's no telling what she might know having so many acquaintances… Notes: If encountering Jovira on the market, please see a Narrator or appropriate Staff Member if your character desires to haggle for prices or information. When encountered outside of work, Jovira is less comfortable engaging in business relations, but more open to friendship. Feel free to befriend the NPC and take her on a date in the great city of Ne'Haer!
Cameron struggled for years to start a boat building business in one of the toughest industries to get into within Ne’haer. His hard work and determination paid off eventually and over the years Cameron has managed to build two workshops and employ up to four staff. The difficulties of working away from a prime location like the dock, or lake is that Cameron has often had trouble keeping workers, who are usually poached by bigger, more successful companies who often entice his staff away from him with higher pay-packets and bigger projects after he has poured years of training into them.
The two workshops on site are big enough to build long ships in and keep all of the timber and tools locked away safely. Set back from the shore, Cameron isn’t able to build anything bigger than what his team is able to move with simple technology, and sometimes the journey to the shore is strainful enough on the vessels to undo many seasons of work before the boats has even touched the water. It takes a patient, trustworthy, hardworking person to accept work here, where most would warn you not to bother.
Brujo Shipyard NPC List
Moderator's Note: Players are welcome to use these NPCs if they're writing about this location.
Cameron has owned and run this small business for the last forty-eight years. He is a proud, stubborn man with a good sense of humour and amazing work ethic, letting nothing slow him down, even old age. However, Berlion is a sensible man and realises that he isn’t getting any younger, and with two daughters and no sons, he is looking to train up a handful of apprentices in the hopes that they might help his granddaughter Coral keep the small business going in future. He values loyalty above all else.
Loyal, meticulous, and full of life, Coral has helped her grandfather build boats since she was a little girl and hopes to one day follow in his footsteps, becoming a master shipwright herself. She is dedicated to the success of Cameron's small business, and stops in at work even on her days off to make sure everything's running smoothly. Friendly but guarded, Coral doesn’t let anyone get too close, but appreciates people who work hard and often gravitates towards genuine souls.
Anuminah’s Stables and Mount Gear can be found just outside the town gates on a large plot of pastured land. The facility is well maintained - sturdy white fences surround the training yard, stables, and grazing pastures. Large wooden statues of animals grace the opening gates and many more can be found throughout the stables and pasture land. Massive oak trees provide a measure of shade as visitors enter through the main gates. The stables and small shop are the focal point of Anuminah’s business and she proudly maintains a large selection of horse tack, armor, and feed.
The shop and stables are both made of study pine boards and a thick tin roofs. The smell of hay, oats, and horses permeates the air surrounding the stables, while the sounds of neighing horses and braying donkeys complements the melody of swaying oak branches. Anuminah’s is never without motion - stable hands are constantly mucking out stalls and can often be seen leading the horses to and from the grazing pasture.
The interior of the shop is meticulously organized - feed and general tack are lined up along pegs on the western wall. Mount armor is displayed on wooden mannequins along the eastern wall. In the middle of all the chaos, Anuminah’s husband, Leadorel, can be seen tallying purchases and writing down the current stock of mounts that the business has for sale. Leadorel is more than happy to help any confused customers by explaining the function of each piece of equipment.
Anuminah spends most of her time in the stables overlooking the health and training of the mounts within her care. She wears a large apron with pockets filled to the brim with apples, carrots, and sugar cubes. She is equally helpful to customers, though she often asks them a series of questions to ensure that her precious horses will be going to a good owner.
Skills:

Animal Training - 50
Business Management - 10
Endurance - 15 Other Information: Anuminah is the proud owner of the stable and gear shop that shares her name. The majority of her life thus far has been spent travelling across Idalos with caravans. Her love of horses is apparent by the sheer joy that radiates from whenever she is near them. While she works from the time the sun rises until it sets, no one has ever heard her complain about the burden, and many Ne’haerians refuse to purchase their tack from any other merchant.

Other Information: Leadorel met Anuminah while he was travelling central Idalos. His first love is woodcarving, and many small animals decorate the fences and pastures around Anuminah’s land.

He endeavors to spend more time with his daughter, Si’kail, though she is often out pursuing her own dreams.

She fancies herself an artist and a bard and promises her family (and all those who would listen) that she will travel to Rynmere to make entertain the nobility. While her family does their best to calm her ambitions, Si’kail’s passionate arguments and independent streak often still their arguments.

Nestled before the docks stands Isabella Doracre's Bakery; stonewalled with a slated roof and doors trimmed with gold and bright pink colors tend to attract much attention. But it's the candies and cakes on display in her window that really pulls the crowds into her shop. From the moment she opens till the moment she closes, baked goods are flying off the shelves in numbers.
The interior of the shop is decorated in brilliant gold and light green trimming with newly painted floral patterns that press the appearance of elegance and royalty. Porcelain dishes support an array of sweets, cookies, and breads while colored fabrics with thin ribbons house sugary pieces of happiness.
Please direct all inquires to the shop keeper.

However, Elleth is an adventurer and when she isn't assisting her mother with bakery orders, cakes, and cooking, she is wandering around the streets and alleyways of Ne'haer.

Aside from his eyes, Eyrn is an up-and-coming chef who was hired by Isabelle as an apprentice of sorts. He is a personable gentleman with the customers and a good enough assistant to work with. It is noticeable that he refrains from any contact with another person, something that may be related to the mark he wears.

The inn is a two story stonewalled building with a slate roof. It was once a manor owned by the infamous scholar, Ter Syh who mysteriously vanished during a voyage to the southern islands. The attic is home to her legacy now, which contains a vast amount of artwork, journals, maps, and old statues hardly worth anything. Accommodations consist of several small rooms with beds and woolen mattresses with few larger rooms. It is expected that all weapons are given to the server, Toben Jyers, upon entrance to Inn where they will be kept in a secure location till you exit the inn. If you refuse to give over your weapons, you will be escorted from the Inn.
Please ask your server or the Innkeeper for inquiries regarding the house special. The house special changes day to day. Entertainers, performers, and faction leaders can consult the Innkeeper for entertainment jobs.

Intimidation - Competent
Armed Combats (Sword) - Expert Mark:
Elithem: Favored
Vaelus: Adored Details: Once a soldier for the city, Aunic resides at his home and business, The Golden Flask. He's as stubborn as they come but he knows how to run a tight ship. Aunic is not one who tolerates disrespect, especially from the inebriated. Though he comes across as a disgruntled pessimist, he's very perceptive to those around him and can be quite the charmer when he's interested in something he sees. However, his temper can and has often gotten the better of him. He is a good sparring partner and while the Inn tends to stay quite busy, in his down time, he enjoys teaching his staff a thing or two about sword fighting.
Bar Keeper Awọ Zánma
Race: Sev'ryn Skills:
Storytelling - Expert
Unarmed Combat - Expert
Socialization - Competent
Cooking - Expert
Intimidation - Competent Mark:
Sevrath: Adored Details: Awọ Zánma is a very boisterous man that enjoys telling tales of the journeys he's taken across the world. He has a way of entrancing those who pause to listen to him while he goes about preparing drinks with ease. Most don't believe his tales, and they can continue to believe that for all he cares, but he does attempt to teach lessons every time he recites a story. Awọ can be seen speaking his native tongue to no one in particular. He explains that it is his spirit companion who doesn't wish to be name but only to those whom are worth of it. He can be a bit odd at times but Awọ is mostly a very entertaining man, if you stay on his good side. He can be very fearsome and intimidating to those who cross the line at the Golden Flask.
Ingrid Yavura
Race: Human Skills:
Etiquette - Competent
Dancing - Competent
Singing - Competent
Cooking - Competent
Gambling - Expert Mark:
None Details: Ingrid is an eloquent, graceful woman that appears to dance around on the balls of her feet half the time. Though she's not the best performer, she loves to dance, sing, and provide joyful entertainment to those who request it. However, she's never consistent with her moods and can flip at the toss of a coin to an individual who is much more introverted. Memories, that's what happens to her. Random, vivid, and powerful. They take her from the world and return her shaken. It's something she isn't able to hide nor is she able to recover from quickly. Because of this, the regular customers call her moody and often blame her womanly nature for her behavior. Overall, Ingrid is an enchanting individual to be around.
Toben Jyers
Race: Human Skills:
Unarmed Combats - Competent
Intimidating - Expert
Persuasion - Competent
Armed Combats (Short Sword) - Competent
Tracking - Competent Mark:
None Details:With a history as a fighter in the arena, Toben was hired by Auric as a server at the Golden Flask. He does well taking orders from customers, cleaning tables, and participating in the events that are held there but mostly, he's the first confrontation any visitor meets coming into the Golden Flask. His main task is removing weapons from the customers. While he is a natural charmer, his experience with warriors in the arena comes in handy when customers don't comply with his requests. Because of Toben, trouble rarely ever comes into the Golden Flask and he is thanked for that everyday. Toben is still a boy at heart and can be quite easily caught off guard by blunt flirtation, even though he's worked there for some time.
