This shop is one of the premier places in all of the nearby areas to purchase
bows and arrows.  The shop, noted by its two piece sign showing a bow crossed
by a pair of arrows above the proprieter's name, is run by Corian Elthor.
Corian is rumored to have some Anzarin blood in his veins although his features
show no signs of this and he will vehemently deny it.  Corian and his five 
apprentices are constantly at work making some of the finest bows and 
arrows available.  The bows actually made by Corian himself, if fired
with a high quality arrow, will shot about 20% farther and cost 4 times as
much.  The bows and arrows made by his apprentices are of standard quality and
price.

The shop consists of a main room where bows, arrows, strings, quivers,
etc. are for sale.  At least one of the apprentices will always be present.
Three doors (not counting the entance) lead out of the main room.  The 
door on the rightside leads to the supply room, the door on the left to
the apprentices' work room, and the rear door to Corian's personal workshop
and office.  Corian will actually be present (during normal hours) about
75% of the time.  

Corian's sales are mainly of stock on hand.  Corian will refuse any bulk orders
since he can already sell everything he makes.  Corian will accept special
orders for bows (often asked for by Tabolport's elite) for which he will
charge 8 times the amount.  The bows don't function any better than the other
bows he makes (he makes everything as good as he can) but will usually consist
of some combination of rarer wood, intricate carvings, or sizing/weighting
specifically for the user.

Characters:

Corian Elthor - Corian is a man of about 44 years of age, he isn't quite
sure of his exact date of birth and doesn't really care.  He is slightly
taller than average with a thin build.  He has blond hair, green eyes,
and sharply angled features. Corian's mother died during his his birth and
she never told anyone who his father was (rumor had it she was raped by an 
Anzarin), leaving his grandmother to raise him.  Corian grew up outside of
Tabolport and not having any nearby friends took up archery (making his own
bows and arrows) and quickly achieved a high degree of skill.  In his early
twenties Corian worked as chief bowyer for the Tabolport militia, but left
after five years to open his own business.  Corian is highly skilled as an
archer and has twice won the archery competition in the Tabolport Games.
Corian considers both his bow making and bow use an art.  Anyone who refers
to either in any other fashion will quickly find himself out of the favor
of Corian.  Corian is usually very taciturn and businesslike, he will however
quickly fly off the handle if anyone even remotely implies anything about his
being in any way an "anzy".
