The River of Renewal is a pawn shop in the Bank of Renewal, an open market place in Bassuras. The shop is owned and operated by the Hiro family.

Description
The River of Renewal is a large tent of 40 feet in length with a drapery hidding the interior. Inside, there is an amundand collection of goods: jewelry, golden chains, fine robes, and cases of gemstones that are locked under protective glass.

History
Tracing Armand Treshi's platinum ring and its owner through their magic orb, Ashton, Dusk, Imogen, and Laudna found themselves in front of the River of Renewal with their guiding orb pointing directly toward the pawn shop. Imogen Opened her Mind to thoughts around her, hearing two individuals, male and female, both of whom she has not recognized. With Imogen's support via a telepathic link, Dusk went in and managed to track down Treshi's platinum band priced at 250 gp, among dozens suggested by Adon Hirp, and learned that the ring came in "four or five days" ago. However, they decided to leave the ring in case Armand returns to redeem it. Casting Suggestion, Dusk gained furthermore information: the connection between him and Paragon's Call and their fortification base in the Seat of Disdain.

The same day, Bells Hells considered but abandoned the idea to play on Treshi's sentimental attachment to his ring and draw him out of the Paragon's Call watch, pretending to be the pawn shop owners and bringing him a message that would be read something along these lines: "I need to move this, but I wanted to give you one last shot at reclaiming your gifts". Five days later, Laudna and Ashton returned for the platinum band in the midst of a sandstorm. They claimed to be seeking shelter, but then pretended to have impulse control issues with purchases, and bought the ring for 350 gold before returning to the Seat of Disdain.
