Ribbon & Ration
"Pack light. Live longer."
Owner: Marta Vale Location: Market Row, Turnbuckle Town Number in Employ: 9 staff, 2 stitchers, 1 artificer-on-retainer Known For: "Clean Crawl" kits and rope that never frays (until it does)
Ribbon & Rations is half outfitter and half showroom. Everything is organized like it matters: rope coils hung like jewelry, rations labeled by region, gloves sorted by grip. People come here before their first curated adventure, and they come here again after they learn what a "controlled environment" actually feels like.
Marta Vale runs the shop with a soft voice and a sharp eye. She prices gear by looking at your hands and your posture, and she can tell when someone is about to lie about their level. Durn Bragg is the stock clerk and retired trap-tester; he gives advice that nobody asks for and he is usually right. In the back, Iolo "Ink" Siff paints heraldry onto shields and helmets for teams who want their brand to look official.
