Bookstore
Every now and then, Richard hosts events for authors to come into the shop and give readings, do book signing, or just talk about their new upcoming work. Though he looks like a grumpy old fart, Richard is a kindhearted man who enjoys giving back to the community and does this by donating children's books to the local schools, or by teaching struggling students of all ages to read and write in small groups or on an individual basis after closing hours for free. For advanced students, however, there is a fee of 5gn for a lesson. Richard also offers a scholarship to the most promising student each arc to attend the local University and further their education. He prefers to give this scholarship to young writers or poets, but has been known to offer it to students interested in trade type courses like ship building, or architecture.

He likes to stay up to date with new releases and is said to read a new book every day. Even after all these years, the boy in him still enjoys the tale of a pirate captain and his crew, exploring the world and burying treasure.
