With glass panes and wooden frame separated by centuries of age, The Honored Elixir looks the part of a well established apothecary. Locals frequent this shop for their medicinal needs, though its shelves are also stocked with raw ingredients for the more holistic to concoct their own homebrew remedies. Supplies range from components of simple herbal mixtures to more potent, or intoxicating, blends - all sold for a fair price.

Though, recently, the market has been forcibly cornered by a local gang hoping to capitalize on expanded demand for strong painkillers. Pressuring the middle-aged proprietress to sell her wares in bulk to them without profit, they leave notes promising a cut of their earnings. Not that they've ever delivered... Instead, they frequent the shop during normal business hours, crowding the cramped store with intimidating numbers.

The woman, exhausted from running the shop all alone since her husband's passing in the calamity, sees no other option but to surrender to their whims. She'll be welcoming of any help she gets, though not incredibly proactive in putting herself or her business on the line. When it comes to paying the Gilded Cage's fee, she'll accept a moderate price with resignation.
