Tale 156 told by Bishop on 18.04.2002
Merchant of fine goods

The merchant of the finest goods is an elf by the name 
of Arakee.  He roams the realms seeking out items that
are perhaps more useful than any others.  Some wonder
if he is merely a steward for the gods leftovers, but
he laughs at suggestions such as that.  Truth is, he
just knows how to get certain items... Interested?  He's
hard to catch, and roams around alot, also be prepared
to carry your weight in platinum, his prices are not
cheap.  He does stop wandering once in a while, heads
for the nearest creek or river... says the music of 
running water soothes the soul.
