[The Humanist, Mivamaen]
A simple white display rests in the center of the shop, just beneath a large oaken sign that is suspended from the ceiling by iron chains. Pale furs are sewn together into a rug that covers the majority of the floor, lending a touch of warmth and softness to the otherwise sparse decor. You also see a white door, a materials symbolism chart and an informational notice regarding placement of mivamaen.
Obvious exits: none.

A large oaken sign reads:

"In an effort to better understand the shared history of my people, the Humans, I have dedicated my life to traveling far and wide, uncovering every scrap of tradition, every custom, every story, every legend that I can. I do this as my mother did before me, her father did before her, and his parents and grandparents before him. There is much I have learned in my quest, and it is here that I begin to share some of that with you all. ~ Zelka"

A materials symbolism chart reads:

"Symbolism of Materials Iron: steadfastness, loyalty, protection, strength Gold: quick temper or changeable nature, fierceness, desire to be noticed Silver: wisdom, peace, tireless work without need for recognition Clear quartz: winter, endings and beginnings, potential yet to be shown Green jade: spring, parenthood, caretaking or teaching Golden amber: fall, even-tempered nature, looking to the past, mourning White coral: summer, carefree or generous nature, fragility of life"

An informational notice regarding placement of mivamaen reads:

"Most commonly, pieces worn primarily around the left eye indicate that the wearer is unmarried, while those situated around the wearer's right eye indicate marriage. Those created to be worn around both eyes are often an indication of refusal to marry and disinterest in entertaining the idea, either as a statement of mourning or as a personal dedication to remain single for other reasons. At times, this last category is used to show entirely different things, though this is a less documented practice."
