[Pawla's Permutations, Paraphernalia Parlor]
Darkness is displaced but not dispelled from the center of this cluttered room by the flickering flames of a small candelabra hung from the ceiling. A worn rug covers the floor and threadbare Rathan carpets cover the tent's sides, insulating and keeping smoke and dust inside. Several large pillows propped against the back wall serve as both couch and bedding. You also see a lemonwood dresser with some stuff on it, a wobbly table with some stuff on it, a multi-pronged rack with some stuff on it, a display case with some stuff on it, a flap, a wooden stand with some stuff on it, a small counter with some stuff on it, and a center pole with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: none.
Which beast this hide once belonged to is difficult to deduce. The little fur that is left is matted and discolored from being used as flooring in all kinds of weather.
Once heavily patterned in the style made on the Malk Staho, with green the predominant color, uneven wear has exposed the warp in several spots.
Piled in the corner in an irregular mound, these pillows do double duty as both couch and bedding.
