Zuzen Fine Tailors
Zuzen Fine Tailors is an odd building - three floors constructed within the frame of a two storey building. The doors are only 150 cm high, with smaller 90 cm doors set inside of those. The ground floor windows are at knee height for most with the second floor windows at the height one would normally expect most windows to be at. Interior ceilings are 180 cm, so tall characters will have a very hard time fitting inside. The oddness of the structure is nothing compared to the oddness of its owner.
Working in his shop, and living in an apartment above, are four seamstresses, all halfling women who weirdly only speak Waeyroni, and who Zuzen claims are his wives. Curiously, despite his renown as a tailor, he seems to spend most of his day waiting on them – bringing them tea and cakes, and fetching bobbins and buttons on demand.

21C using Tailor, Connoisseur, Heraldry, or Lay of the Land (Tulosz)Anyone with a tailor skill, or a broad artistic or cultural knowledge of Tulosz is likely to have heard of Zuzen Hilargizeta-Paulizeta-Estiz. Zuzen claims to have clothed the Tuloszian Kings, which is improbable, though he is certainly ancient, and often lapses into speaking Royal Tuloszian, an archaic form of the Tuloszian language not spoken in over 300 years. He is the town’s only gnome – an eccentric tailor who at once clothes almost everyone in the area, while at the same time selling exotic, finely tailored suits, dresses, hats, shoes, tuxedos and gowns – none of which are purchased or worn by locals, but are often custom ordered by nobles from as far away as Desdiima.
