Mordecai Orichalcum

What players would know #

Portrait (player-safe) #

Mordecai Orichalcum is a tall trans woman wizard and the proprietor of Glass & Moth, a licensed magical item and ingredient shop in the Banco Valdieri Quarter. Her enormous frizzy black curls are just starting to show gray at the edges, and she wears a thin-strapped black dress like it is armor.

She does business from behind a heavy counter, backed by a tall glass case packed with potions, scroll tubes, and a riot of other small magic items that all come with receipts, warnings, and an optional lecture.
