[QUOTE="SpiralBound, post: 1677371, member: 8396"] [COLOR=Yellow][B]61.[/B][/COLOR] [b]Mellim's :[/b] This is a rickety looking four-story building that leans slightly into the street, an impression that is visually exaggerated by the fact that each story is slightly larger than the previous until the top story is a full ten feet out further on all sides than the ground floor. The owner of this house is Mellim Grob-dagarro, an elderly man with startlingly bushy eyebrows that are literally long enough that he brushes them to the sides such that their tips blend into the hair at his temples. Mellim is a Scholar, (+4 ranks in gather information, +2 local law, +2 politics, +2 religion) a Scribe (+4 forgery), a Historian (+2 Knowledge: Ancient History), and a noteworthy collector of maps. Map-collecting is his passion in life with fully three floors of his home having the walls of every room lined with scroll shelves and most rooms having piles of scrolls and parchment maps and geographical treatises. People often come to Mellim in order to avail of his impressive collection. For a modest fee he will copy any of his maps and he is always interested in acquiring a new or interesting map. There is one further quirk to his map collecting habits though: Mellim finds an equal joy in owning a map, regardless of it's accuracy or even if it depicts anything of any relation to the real world. In fact, many of his maps are of fictional or legendary lands or structures. This proves especially challenging for the would-be visitor to his library as Mellim neither distinguishes nor remembers which maps are real and which are imaginary... To make matters even more convoluted, several of Mellim's acquaintances are adventures and a few of them even travel the planes and have frequently brought back maps for Mellim of these far distant lands! For those adventurers knowledgeable or lucky enough though, Mellim can be an amazing resource of both rare knowledge and rare maps. [/QUOTE]
