Extend shop item variety in Terinyo
Terinyo offers only food. Maybe expand the shop, or add a new one, offering starting equipment cheap.
ADOM offers such massive item variety, why not give a taste of that in the first village?
Store offering low-quality items for cheap. I mean like - some of the stuff is rusted. It's mostly daggers, shortswords, bucklers, maybe a metal cap. Maybe a single cheap potion or scroll. Some clothes - boots, cloak. That kind of thing.
Even with attributes like "frayed" "bent" "weather-worn" etc. to make them weaker than the stuff you find in dungeons.
Cheap = in the 20-150gp range, similar to starting food.
This would also make starting funds more important.
Generally the idea is to allow players some control over their starting equipment, and showing off the fantastic item variety (+ upcoming PC customization) without giving starting PCs too much power.
Also: it makes sense that someone near the Drakalor entrance would make use of the fact that many new adventurers arrive and inevitably stop at Terinyo.
