------------- Welcome to the Silver Gryphon

"I'm Gallipre Indominus, proprietor of this humble establishment."

"What's that? Yes, of course the ownership is still in the hands of the Drovik Ambassador, General Kheldar Honglathor.  However, his duties in the capitol and at the Drovik Consulate in New Calladon keep him far too busy to spend much time here in little old Gryphonmyr."

"Well on to business.  As you can see, I've recently unveiled a new line of reproductions, functional weaponry based on the designs of some of the more famous blades of our world.  To my far right you'll see Wyvern, the venomous sword of the Goblin King. Next we have Flamberge, the Red Dragon slayer made famous by Emperor Kahlof of the Kang Empire.  Then we have Mako, the sword of Queen Crystal Sonntag of Sonntaglia.

"Pardon? No its not made of Atlantean steel.  Still a bit too difficult to get that.  I've substituted Republic Steel Foam in its place.  Well yes, of course I have a supplier, but that's my little secret."

"Moving on we have Lolnivelve, the blade of the Matron Mother of the Splinter Kingdom, the last of the Lolth worshippers on this world.  Down at the bottom center we have Quarlak and Vogneth, the Caerrian blades of the last great Caerrian hive master, Wvollokia.  Next along the bottom is Cleaver, also an Atlantean blade, forged for Queen Amalthea of the Amazoko.  Then we have Sivaspliktas, the Mithril sword of General Calandra Everwhite, hero of the battle of Geldendraz during the War of Arrallon.  Next, and soon to be moved to a special display of Symballan weaponry, is Demonsbane, first wielded by Assillin the Conquerer, later by her granddaughter, the current Queen of the Symballan Empire, Nahlima Fallahin.  Next is the Mind Slayer sword of the Githyanki General Mrozak.  Yes, the hilt has been faithfully reproduced with two actual Illithid heads, shrunken and dipped in molten Astral Steel.  Once again, I can not divulge my sources.  And behind me, the only item in the collection that is not a reproduction, one of the Black Blades of the Drovik Secret Police, made of unbreakable Drovik adamant and impervious to damage from light or radiation.  And finally, in the top center, a copy of the sword of Queen Amanda of Carellon, Khalbar the Chaotic, given to her grandmother by the spirit of the Barbarian King, Khoja, on far away Beotharn, and recovered from her grandmother's secret tomb by Lady Amanda in her first journey to the Splinter Kingdom."

"Each of these blades is fully functional, enchanted to an exceptional level, and possesses one or more special abilities of the original.  The Caerrian blades are Caerrian steel and have armor piercing ability.  Both Cleaver and Mako are neutrally buoyant in water, and the Mind Slayer yields some small mental defense."

"Feel free to look around the shop.  We have all the finest magical paraphernalia, scrolls, potions, spellbooks, and a wide selection of magical jewelry.  Just grab one of the sales girls when you're ready and they'll take care of you.  And I'm obliged by town ordinance to warn you that all the these swords are protected by powerful glyphs, so let the sales girls handle them.  We wouldn't want our customers rendered to dust right here in the shop."
