Tuuva Mercantile—typically just called “Tuuva”—is a general store that stocks everything a growing town might need, or at least attempts to. Whether you’re looking for a bedroll or a ten-foot pole, for a tent to live in or a lantern so you can see in your tent, Tuuva is there for you. Family matriarch Jhol Tuuva manages most of the inventory, while Noon Tuuva produces baked goods, rations, hard candy, and other delights. While Tuuva has a wide selection of mundane goods, shortages are common, and it may take them a while to fill an unusual request. Tuuva may have Common magic items, and carries a selection of arcane focuses; other Spellcasting Focuses may be harder to find. There’s always a rush to the store when a new shipment comes in from Sharn or Ardev.

Possible ties to Tuuva Mercantile:

• (Goblin) The Tuuvas are a large family with deep roots in Sharn. As a city goblin, you could have ties to the Tuuvas or even be a member of the family. If you’re a Dhakaani dar, you could have established a connection to the Tuuvas to help find your footing in the world of the chaat’oor.
• (Tool proficiency) If you have a practical skill, you might sell goods you produce during downtime to the Tuuvas.
• You’re waiting for a particular special order to come into Tuuva Mercantile, but it’s taking them a long time to obtain it. What is it that you’re waiting for, and why is it so hard to acquire?
• You dealt with a pair of thugs that tried to rob Jhol Tuuva, and ever since then she’s considered you to be a member of the family. You’re frequently invited (well, “invited” is a light term—“expected” would be more accurate) to the Tuuva home for dinner, and she may be trying to set you up with one of her single children.
