Tian Chuan Fine Antiques
Tian Chuan Fine Antiques Tian Meng, a former monk and resident of Shan Fan, owns a small antiques shop in Brimstone's Chinatown. He sells curios of all types such as teaware, buddha statuettes, wall scrolls, prayer beads and silk products. He also stocks dozens of types of tea: black, green, oolong, fermented pu-erh and some herbal blends. In glass cases at the back of the shop he also has a few antique Chinese weapons such as swords, fans, Chinese-made bows and more exotic weapons, however he is quite choosy about his buyers and stock is limited.
Meng himself has an air of calming grace, busying himself mostly with his shop and ritually sweeping the dust away from the entrance, nodding at passers-by and assisting his customers with care. At meal times he can be found at the Celestial Café where the other Chinese patrons and staff pay him great respect and reverence. He often speaks at great length with Zhou Jiang, but for some reason is never seen with Madame Luli. Every morning, Meng comes out to the empty lot next to his store and practices the slow, graceful movements of Taiji. Many other residents of Chinatown, young and old, come out to practice along with him however he only leads and does not instruct.
