Nahla bint-Sahir

A bookseller who deals in rare texts and rarer introductions. Nahla never says ‘no’—she says ‘price.’ In her shop, ink is currency and silence is the most valuable item on the shelf.

Neat sleeves, well-kept shelves, a bell that barely rings, eyes that measure before they greet.

• Polite
• Calculating
• Protective of her business

• Keep her shop untouched by authorities
• Maintain her network
• Profit without becoming a headline

• She has sold access to a back room used for ‘private meetings.’
• She recognizes Thalmor procurement patterns when they ask about Dwemer texts.

• A social step toward the main contact.
• A way to turn money into information—and information into danger.

• She can require a favor: recover a missing book, return a borrowed ledger, or deliver a sealed note.
• She can warn the PCs if their faces are being described for coin.

• factor-salim-jarin — business (Trades names and routes.)
• archivist-celinne-fairmont — quiet acquaintance (Sometimes buys ‘missing’ folios.)
