Shamenell Garrok

Shamenell Garrock (1697 - ) was a bookseller in the Shadowfall Night Market, an author, and a noted gossip broker of Trynser City. She was also an amateur lutenist and singer and could be seen performing at her shop to attract customers. She was a well-traveled adventurer in her youth, though most of her adventures took place around Trynser City. She had a number of powerful friends and noteworthy connections. She had also made her fair share of enemies over the years, mostly people who don't want their business broadcast by her. 
She had a weekly broadside printed with the latest gossip, and occasionally wrote social books for different wards of Trynser City, and the city in its entirety. She hung around places where nobility was known to embarrass itself for ammunition for her broadsides.
== Description ==
As of 1742 she was in her late-40's, tall (5'8"), and a bit husky. She had long dark auburn hair with bits of gray, and dark green eyes. She had a slight limp in her right leg from an injury sustained early in her adventuring career.

== Shop ==
Her shop in Shadowfall Night Market was an enclosed tent with a covered outside portion with popular books set on tables. Within the tent was shelves of other books and papers, some disguised to dissuade critical eyes. There was also a writing table, a cot, and a chest. She was assisted in her shop (and investigations) by Lilliana Carnes, among others. When minding the shop, Lilliana often played the flute.
Documents sold at the shop included:
* The books noted above
* A fair array of commonly available books, mostly used. Price dependent on the books condition, usually cheaper than new unless rare.
* Any rare books that she could get her hands on. Pricey.
* A number of forbidden, heretical, politically volatile, and pornographic books, papers, and prints that were stocked in the hidden shelves. Often created by authors who were very opinionated, biased, or simply mad. These will only be offered to trusted customers, and usually go for a premium.
* Personal journals, obtained at estate sales and by other methods. These are sold pretty cheap (after any useful information is gleaned from them) but are generally worthless.
