Chastity's Nook

Chastity's Nook is a small, but well-stocked bookstore located within the Tri-Spires district of Zadash, specializing in pulp fiction and all manner of trashy smut.

Iva Deshin, a fledgling author, is the proprietor of the shop.

Layout
The exterior was designed to resemble a thatched-roof cottage and had a beautiful cursive sign hanging over its arched main door. In contrast, it had a lush, cozy interior that was divided into a front and a back room.

The front room had one long chamber with shelves and a central table, that progressed from tawdry goods and knickknacks, towards shelves and stacks of books that had painted covers. Interspaced between these, leading towards the back room, were large scrolls of beautifully painted nudes.

Known Stock
This book store didn't have a used book section due to there not being much business for such books here in the Tri-Spires. Most of the areas residence purchase and display books on their shelves a symbol of status. The more books one had displayed on their shelves, the more well-read they appeared to their guests.

Beau, Caleb, and Jester visited Chastity's Nook for the first time in episode 11, immediately after placing an order at the bakery next door. They were greeted in the front room by Iva Deshin, who introduced herself and offered her assistance. Amused at Caleb's claim that the Nook was "recommended" to him for literature, Iva quickly guided the trio to the adults-only back room of the shop. Caleb declined her enthusiastic recommendations of Tusk Love and Guard of My Heart, asking instead for something more along the lines of "historical fiction." Intrigued, Iva described a book that was banned by the Dwendalian Empire 15 years prior entitled The Courting of the Crick. After a furtive discussion of the contents of the tome and the rather hefty 15-gold price tag, she disappeared into another room to retrieve a copy. While waiting, Jester delighted in both embarrassing another patron into swiftly fleeing the Nook. Ultimately, Caleb declined to purchase The Courting of the Crick, citing the price tag and illicit nature of the book. While purchasing a copy of Tusk Love, however, Jester secretly purchased the book as a gift. After the sale, Iva proceeded to share some of her own romantic writings with Beau. Overly wordy, with atrocious dialogue and some bizarre metaphors for farm equipment, it took a supreme effort for Beau to humor Iva with a smile and series of mild complements. Meanwhile, Jester took the opportunity to scrawl the ominous words "WE'RE WATCHING YOU" in a copy of Guard of My Heart. The Traveler seemed rather pleased.
