So here's what I had in mind:

- The Inn is intended to double as a small tavern. So ideally the Innkeeper would also sell food.

- The Pawn Shop is a bit more complicated, as a throwback to SL1, the actual pawn shop function would be delegated to a Mimic since back then, The Mimic in Karaten basically had the same function where you'd throw unwanted items and get murai in exhcange. I've included this NPC in the files but here's a look for everyone else. (Credit to Trex for the original icon) [attachment=301]

- The Pawn Shop was also made in mind to double as an Alchemist. The Alchemist is a pretty straightforward idea, they would sell potions and/or some potion reagents, as well as being the one to talk about the above Mimic.

- There's also a Library, this is another new idea that basically could be used for a couple of things. One being that it could be used as a place to contain lore (such as what's being cataloged in the Lore Compendium thread.) Another function I had in mind is that the Librarian could sell Tomes (including ones not currently sold), Recipe Books and/or Recipe Cards.

- The Mage's Guild in Karaten has two floors, since I imagine like how they have less influence in Oniga, they'd have more influence in Karaten. I also had an idea for a new NPC to include for the second floor where they would sell Familiars or crafting reagents for them, which is another concept from SL1.

[spoiler]Familiars in SL1 were an item that had their own equipment slot, unlike other equipment, they could "Level" up to a maximum of 20, which increased the passive benefits they provided.

But how they'd function in SL2 would be different in some ways, so here's what I had in mind:
- Familiars would be Accessory Items that spawn associates which have their own stats, one or two skills, etc. and can gain experience from combat and can Level Up to become more effective.
- Familiars also provide a passive benefit to their owner that scales based on their Level, however, that benefit is lost if the Familiar is defeated.
- Familiars aren't intended to be strong, instead the idea is they'd offer a useful passive effect and some utility options but are easy to take down.

Here's an example idea for a Familiar:
Floating Eye

Description:
The Floating Eye is a pretty obviously named Familiar. It's able to help it's owner by attacking enemies from afar, as well as scouting out and getting a good read on enemies.

Effects:
Summons the Familiar when in combat.
The owner gains bonus Hit equal to half of the Familiar's Level when it is summoned. (Current: 1)
