Morven Stroud

Morven Stroud is a merchant found within the Soul Ciarn. He claims that he used to be one of the greatest merchants, but accidentally sold fake material to a group of necromancers, thus dooming him to the soul ciarn. For 25 soul husks, he will sell you a sword, battleaxe, light armor, heavy armor, or a spell tome.

The soul husk trade would appear to be completely random outside of selecting the above choice. If asked for a spell tome, Morven will simply hand you one any spell tome from Flames (the first spell everyone starts with) to invisibility and beyond. The weapons and armor seem to generally be identical to random loot generated in dungeons.
