Adramel’s - a jagged gash in a the wall of a ruined home (23)

[Adramel's, Antechamber]
Shafts of moonlight filter through the mist-laden wreckage of a small home, the only remnants of which are a charred antechamber and the shattered husk of a loft above. Glimmering, a silvery spiderweb clings to the slumping bulk of a blackened stone fireplace at the foyer's end. Debris clutters the ground. You also see a gaping gash in the wall and a ramshackle stairwell spiraling up to a ruined loft.
Obvious exits: none

Flecks of wood and char adorn the tiny monument to a spider's industry.

Items in fireplace are 20000, cloakworn, VLA for any number of items and have purpose.

In the stone fireplace you see a scorched mauve oilcloth mantle, a singed sapphire silk stole, a blackened emerald linen cape, a seared crimson velvet longcoat and a charred black wool cloak.

On the stone fireplace you see a cloudy glass moth stickpin, an indigo glass wyvern stickpin, a black glass mask stickpin, a silver glass whorl stickpin and a red glass halfling stickpin.

[Adramel's, Loft]
Nestled in the crumbling, lopsided skeleton of a loft, a spray of silvery pillows encircles a rare untouched swathe of floor in the unstable ruin. The roof is torn away, and the shadows that the harsh sunlight casts are long and dark. All that remains of a stone chimney is a toppling pile of pocked bricks in the loft's western corner. You also see a ramshackle stairwell spiraling down to a ruined antechamber.

Alternative Arkati - a low dark wood structure (18)

2007

[Alternative Arkati]
Spiraling outward from the sides of a large ceiling-mounted lantern, rich folds of wine velvet drape gracefully, concealing the walls. The intimate, tentlike decor is enhanced by numerous richly patterned jewel-toned carpets that are piled alongside a series of pillows on the floor. Glittering gems and metals are strewn over the rugs, their colors matching the fabric's hues.

[Alternative Arkati]
The dim light of the outer room barely penetrates this cramped area. Still, small metallic objects sparkle faintly, their jewel-adorned surfaces drawing the eye. The baubles are hung from web-like netting strung in ragged ribbons from the black ceiling. The scent of cinnamon and sandalwood incense is so strong it is almost cloying, and the faint haze of smoke further obscures the edges of the room. You also see a cracked dark wood chest with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: east

On the web-like netting you see a set of snake studs, an obsidian stud, some glaes drop earrings, a tiny cat's paw, a gold lattice choker and a black diamond lavaliere.

Antiquarian Armaments - a dusty limestone storefront (47)

2007

[Antiquarian Armaments]
Heavy swathes of rusting mail wind between the thick wooden roof timbers of the low ceiling. Suspended from the beams is a sign that is carved from a polished piece of ruddy wood. The available space on the floor is limited, with paths winding through the many piles of goods left strewn about. You also see a carved wooden notice.

Aspirations of Expiration - a crude stone and yew house spotted with mold (12)

2007

[Aspirations of Expiration]
A fine film of ash and dirt covers the room, from its mistwood floor to its witchwood walls. Numerous containers clutter the area, all tightly closed and often stacked one upon another. From one wall hangs a smudged, framed parchment, and narrow pathways wend through the clutter, providing access to a rattle-inscribed dark arch, a velvet-wrapped arch, and a stone arch. You also see a raffle table with some stuff on it, a RAFFLE parchment and a moldy yew door.
Obvious exits: none

In the Common language, it reads: Zetoile's raffle toys are fully infused with her dirt and mold to ensure full functioning of many different actions and even one spell.

While she considers it a major toy, she hasn't set the raffle up to be a major win. Enter indiscriminately!

In the Common language, it reads: When possible, the ashy remains of others and grave dirt harvested at midnight have been incorporated into my items by various means. The protection of the expired is immeasurable, but it can have unusual effects sometimes, as evidenced by the toys in Recreations. Be forewarned. ~Zetoile

[Aspirations, Domestications]
A variety of furnishings for sale clutters the room, most covered with a slight dusting of dirt or mold. Someone, perhaps in a desperate attempt at cheeriness, has placed a large, potted rosebush in one corner, but the bush has succumbed to the dour surroundings and appears to have a decent case of plant rot. You also see a small black marble tablet, a small squat ghost and a dank stone arch.
Obvious exits: none

A thin film of dirt covers the mistwood floor, and mold crawls up the witchwood walls. A stacks of containers, tightly latched and incredibly dusty, line the walls, leaving barely enough room for a moth-eaten male mannequin and an ash-covered female mannequin. A heavy, dark velvet curtain is opposite the velvet-wrapped arch leading to the entry.
Obvious exits: none

On the male mannequin you see a formal black wool hat, a stiff white linen shirt, some pleated black wool pants and some black leather boots.

[Aspirations, Inspirations]
Grave dirt and mold lie in large piles in every corner of this small workroom, and large pieces of partially carved wood stick out here and there from the piles. A pile of somewhat moldy cushions provides a soft, albeit dubiously appealing, place to sit. Obvious exits: out

[Aspirations, Expectations]
Bits of dirt and mold have been swept into a small pile in one corner, in what appears to be a half-hearted cleaning effort. A bergamot cradle and a matching armoire sit near a window, sunlight brightening the polish upon the wood. A lilac wood rack and chest sit on an opposite wall, leaving the center floor bare to display its inlaid icon--a headstone beneath crossed baby rattles. You also see a rattle-inscribed dark arch.
Obvious exits: north

Dolls are 35000, not worn, have purpose, and can be dressed in the doll clothing in the armoire.

In the bergamot cradle you see an ashen grey ceramic doll, a blued porcelain doll, a deathly white alabaster doll, a pale porcelain doll and a bisque doll.

A scrap of heavy vellum is tacked to the armoire.

[Aspirations, Recreations]
An abundance of dirt and mold lies strewn about the floor, piled especially high next to a dusty cypress toybox.

Sunlight trickles in through a partially boarded window, and motes of dust dance and sparkle in each small ray.

Bath From Beyond - a tidy wooden shop (13)

[Bath From Beyond]
Freshly sanded wooden shelves line the sides of the warm room, which is permeated throughout by a myriad of pungent scents. Brushed steel racks divide the area in half, and running along the length of one of the smooth walls is a slate counter, its dark surface covered with long loafs of uncut soap. Tracts of dried herbs, flowers, and fruits hang from exposed beams across the ceiling and wind along the edges of a finely polished teak sign.

Beast Within Costumes - a pretty thatched cottage (7)

2006

[The Beast Within Costume Shop]
Streamers hang from the rafters, waving in the light breeze which swirls through the eves of the cheerful shop. Colorful murals cover the whitewashed walls, depicting revelers dressed as beasts and monsters. Two huge carved figures, a grizzly bear and a storm giant, stand in the center of the room, holding a variety of masks. You also see a fat pumpkin orange door and a little sign written in gold ink.
Obvious exits: east

In the Common language, it reads:

appear anxious.

Feeling beastly? Growl!

The carver has used a block of solid oak to create a huge storm giant dressed in traditional kilt and bracers.

[The Beast Within Costume Shop]
Trailing in from the adjoining room, the streamers that riddle the rafters wave in the light breeze that carries through the colorful shop. Painted scenes decorate the whitewashed walls, depicting a parade of mystical creatures and wild beasts as they dance beneath a trio of moons. A regal russet griffin stands guard, its wings spread protectively over a dainty blue water elemental in the center of the room, where they display a variety of masks.
Obvious exits: west

Tall and regal, the griffin is an excellent specimen of taxidermy. Crooked wings, each displaying a collection of masks, are spread outward from the white belly of its body in an arc that shadows over a dainty blue water elemental. A wide ivory beak stands open in a silent scream, while glittering yellow eyes intently gaze outward.

Nestled within the protective ring of russet griffin wings, the elemental takes on the form of a pale blue woman with dainty facial features. A pale gown clings to her gaunt figure, while her outstretched arms are left bare to properly display the veils and masks that she holds.

Beggar’s Alley - a dark alley squeezed between two shops (54)

[Beggar's Alley]
Cramped for space, the alley is situated between two tall stores whose sides are covered in dark thatching. Empty crates, battered and missing boards, lean in a disheveled pile against one wall, while the other is left clear to provide a narrow space for movement.

Heavy, dark blue velvet has been draped from every wall in this cramped, claustrophobic room.

Better Protections - a sturdy oak door in a large stone building (7)

2006

[Better Protections, Entrance]
Smooth, dark stones form the walls of this rather large room, keeping the air cool even when the air is warm outside. A thick layer of dust covers the floors and tables. Large windows in the room give off a diffuse light from outside because there is so much grime on them that one can't see a discernible thing through them. Dust bunnies crowd each of the corners since the floors haven't been swept in years. The rafters have partial cobwebs so full of dust that they hang in globs. You also see an iron armor stand with some stuff on it and a steel armor stand with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: north, out

On the armor stand you see a vultite metal breastplate, some vultite half plate and some mithril double chain.

[Better Protections, Front Room]
The look of this room years ago would have been elegant. The dust and cobwebs have taken over and make everything look a bit shabby. Cobwebs drop from the rafters down to the tables in the corners. Lacy patterns are evident in the dust on the tabletops where the breeze has blown the cobwebs around. The sofa and chairs look almost inviting, but the colors of the material can't been seen under the thick cover of dust. You also see a heavy oaken wardrobe and an overturned metal chest with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: east, south

In the oaken wardrobe you see some studded leather, some black brigandine and some cuirbouilli leather.

[Better Protections, Side Room]
Tapestries cover most of the floor and walls in this rather large room. Once upon a time, they were probably colorful and told stories of brave knights and beautiful ladies, but all that can be seen now are the muted colors of dust and grime and a few moth-eaten edges. Large chests are scattered across the floor in no particular pattern. You also see a scarred and worn wooden worktable with some stuff on it.

Boniface Inn - a neglected inn (35)

2006, 2007

[Boniface Inn, Gift Shop]
The tiny room is barely large enough to merit being called a shop. Each wall is filled with shelves, and racks of souvenirs and other small gifts crowd the floor space. A clerk bustles around the store, straightening and dusting, and smiling proudly at each visitor. You also see a sturdy brass rack with some stuff on it, a polished steel rack with some stuff on it, a stained modwir shelf with some stuff on it, a lacquered haon shelf with some stuff on it and a rough-hewn oak shelf with some stuff on it. Obvious exits: east

Quills are 5000 and pinworn. Caps/hats are 1500 and headworn. Paintings are 5000 and not worn. All items have purpose.

On the brass rack you see a fluffy black feather quill, a long crimson feather quill, a dark brown statue cap, a jaunty blue felt hat, a floppy dark leather hat, a colorful miniature oil painting, a detailed miniature oil painting, a bordered miniature oil painting, a simple miniature oil painting and a glossy miniature oil painting.

a colorful miniature oil painting:
Down the middle of this picture winds a smoothly paved stone road with a large meadow to the right of it. Behind the meadow stand a number of brick and wood homes. To the left of the road, several barrels of apples line a neat white fence that stretches into the distance.

a detailed miniature oil painting:
A produce cart piled high with a variety of fruits and vegetables stands in front of a large, black iron gate. A hawker stands to the side, offering a sparkling red apple to a small child. Behind the gate lie a number of respectable buildings, each with its own meticulously tended lawn.

a bordered miniature oil painting:
A low granite boulder stands in the forefront of the picture, its surface covered with the blackened lines of old carvings. In the distance, a black obelisk thrusts up against the sky beside the bulk of a great circular tower, and a worn track spirals towards a dazzling sun-dappled cliff face.

a simple miniature oil painting:
The painting depicts the town of Velathae itself, with Tower Hill featured prominently at its center. Artisans and craftsmen bustle up and down the streets, going about their daily lives, while visitors stroll more slowly through the town, taking in the sights.

a glossy miniature oil painting:
Rows of apple trees, their lush, leaf-covered branches arching overhead, stretch out as far as the eye can see. Moss and leaf litter covers the ground below, and a number of children can be seen running about and laughing in play.

On the steel rack you see a wide-brimmed straw hat, a dirty toy rolton, a polished bronze mug, a multicolored ceramic mug, a scuffed and marred pewter mug, a jade-inlaid carved maoral mug, a bright pink yarn poppet, a tiger-striped fluffy toy kitten, an oversized shaggy toy puppy and a small fuzzy brown toy bear.

a dirty toy rolton:
The toy rolton is covered with a dirty, matted, disgusting-looking grey pelt that might once have been white and is still abysmally smelly. A small, rusty bell adorns its shaggy neck, while a yellowed incisor protrudes from one side of its mouth like a fang.

Gift boxes on modwir shelf are 2500, hold VLA for a couple of items, and have the following show: You see a shiny (color) gift box. Its exterior is decorated with bright colorful paper and several fine long strands of satin ribbons dangle across the blue gift box, awaiting final assembly.

a dull grey oak-based snowglobe:
The clear bubble contains a detailed scene of a town square in miniature. Bazaar shops surround the square, and throngs of tiny people of all races mill about, many of them adventurers by their looks. At one end of the square is the town well, with a giant oak tree towering over it. Partially hidden among its branches is a tree house platform. Stone benches scattered around the square provide a place for the townspeople to rest, and some of them appear to be healing the wounded.

The clear bubble contains a detailed scene of a grand plaza in miniature. The plaza is paved with a spiral pattern of alternating terra-cotta and golden-yellow bricks. On one edge of the plaza stands an ornate, white arch, and beyond it is a brick-paved avenue of elaborate temples, stretching to a towering city wall. A steady mix of tiny merchants, artisans, and clerics pass through the arch in both directions.

a green maoral-based snowglobe:
The clear bubble contains a detailed forest scene in miniature. At the forest's edge is a small clearing with a pool of water, fed by a tiny stream. Near the pool, two stone pillars mark the entrance to a peaceful sanctuary. A small shrine containing an altar is lovingly carved out of silvery haon. A small group of tiny people take their rest, while a miniature cleric kneels in meditation.

an icy blue modwir-based snowglobe:
The clear bubble contains a detailed scene in miniature. Tiny halflings dressed in varying fashions stand about, appearing to be engaged in lively conversation, while others recline on cloaks laid on the ground. One ancient halfling leans against the base of a large ice statue of a mule, taking a nap. A halfling abbess and a halfling wizard stand at the edge of a small crowd gathered around an injured giantman.

a fiery red ruic-based snowglobe:
The clear bubble contains a detailed scene in miniature. A river branches and then flows back together again, creating a small island, with small stone bridges spanning the river on both sides of the islet. A prosperous-looking inn stands in the middle, with a uniformed dwarf at the door. Near the inn is a tower of grey and white marble that stands quite tall within the bubble world, encircled by a winding stair. Tiny dwarves throng the area.

Bound for Fashion - a large ebonwood building with candle-lit stained glass windows (60)

[Bound for Fashion, Parlor]
The dark rose stain on the glass windows compliments the hue of the ebonwood frames, while also muting what natural light filters in. The few candles placed within each window flicker with faint, pallid light to cast dancing shadows upon the surroundings. An elaborate silver platter rests upon a silk-draped table occupying the west wall, and a rose-hued damask divan flanked by high-backed ivory silk chairs takes up the rest of the room. A large hallway opens up to the right of the fireplace. You also see a meticulously lettered sign propped upon a silver stand.
Obvious exits: out

In the Common language, it reads: ~~ Welcome ~~

Through the hallway you will find showrooms displaying my wares. Please take note that the accessories are designed to work specifically, and only, with the garments sold here.

I will endeavor to come about and work on these items at some point during this week.

Enjoy!

[The Broken Cirque]
Feathery cobwebs cloak the corners of the high ebonwood ceiling, glistening in the pale light shining from ensconced candles placed throughout the room.

[Charmed, Entry]
Small and cozy, the shop's entryway is bursting with various charms and symbols, some hanging from rows of hooks in shop's the display window, others hanging from pegs on the walls.

[Charmed, Heddy's Room]
Shoved into a small living space, a tiny bed, a jumble of cooking utensils, two small dressers overflowing with ragged clothing, and a table covered in rough jewelry-making tools and supplies fill up the entire room. A small window, which is nailed shut, allows light in from outside. Obviously, the room's inhabitant is comfortable within the confines of close, cramped quarters rent with stagnant air.

[The Room of Afterlife]
Creating a theme, one side is painted to resemble clouds with a blend of silver and purple hues, while the other is a combination of dark bronze and red resembling a stormy sky.

The Crab Shack - a dilapidated wooden shack (17)

[The Crab Shack]
Hanging from the ceiling is a row of giant rust-covered fishhooks, some of their metal still caked with what can only be described as guts. A rough driftwood counter occupies the center of the room while a stained wooden doorway stands open behind it. Mounted along the walls are a variety of skeletal fish and an overturned treasure chest crowds a dim corner of the shack. Near the door is a scribbled sign made from a ship's plank.
Obvious exits: north, out

In the Common language, it reads:

[The Crab Shack, Back o' Shack]
A few thin tendrils of brown haze creep through the open doorway and the air is suffocated with the mingling scent of dead fish and decaying flesh. Perched on the far wall is a cracked wooden ship's wheel surrounded on both sides by two rusty sconces, their flames casting shadows about the muted room. A torn and faded tapestry hangs high from one wall and a frayed hammock occupies a corner of the room. You also see a group of salt-encrusted barrels with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: south

Half of the tapestry depicts a beachy shore where seagulls circle in the sky above while the bottom half reveals the ocean below, a line of white-capped waves and schools of fish swimming beneath its depths. At the very bottom of the tapestry is a sandy-hued bottom, where a few signs of seaweed stretch up from and half of a sunken ship juts out from the sea's base. Faded by time, fine red threading near the sunken ship reads, "You are here."

On the salt-encrusted barrels you see a rhimar-lined bone-inlaid chest, a multipocketed doeskin fishing vest, a pair of worn leather fishing gloves, a lure-covered fishing hat, a cherrywood tackle box and an ebony tackle box.

[The Crab Shack, Under the Sea]
A small ladder from the trapdoor leads down into this small hideaway. The scent of old fish is nearly non-existent save for a few curls of brown smoke leaking down from above. The walls remain plain and adorned with the exception of a few blade scratches carved into the hardened clay. A warped wooden desk rests in a corner with a small white candle providing enough light to illuminate a weapon rack and armoire nearby. Nestled in the shadows is a tall mannequin.
Obvious exits: none

On the wooden desk you see a small gold locksmith kit, a silver-strung grey compass pouch, a polished ironwood compass and a long gold letter opener.

Creidne’s Charms - an open doorway leading into a small shop wedged between two of the other buildings (6)

2006, 2007

[Creidne's Charms, Entry]
Faded and dull mahogany beams line the walls and ceiling, some cracked and slightly splitting, defining the shop as old and neglected. The plaster set within the timbered structuring has mellowed to a rich ivory color and wears a thin, oily coating of dust. Splitting off in two divergent directions, openings at the back lead to other equally dimly lit rooms. The only attempt to make things more welcoming is a low, round vase filled with fresh mournblooms.
Obvious exits: northeast, northwest, out

[Creidne's Charms, Eye Salon]
Here, faded and stained silk ruined with water streaks and soot cover the front two walls, their golden braid frayed and unravelling. At the back end of the room, warped and greying shelves display bottles filled with a myriad of potions. You also see a small wares notice.
Obvious exits: southwest, west

Above a bowed dull haon shelf rests a splitting dry oak shelf.

In the Common language, it reads:
Please make sure you are buying the correct vial before you purchase it, as these single-use, permanent eye color dyes are not refundable.

[Creidne's Charms, Workshop]
Spare and cluttered with empty bottles, liquid-filled testers, and bowls of smelly brews that lie scattered about on various tables, the small workshop has a decidedly claustrophobic feel. Sheathes of yellowed manuscript are stacked and piled at a corner of a worktable, the curling pages weighted down by a shard of rainbow glaes.
Obvious exits: east, west

[Creidne's Charms, Hair Salon]
Lush but dusty velvet curtains hang limply against the two near walls, in an attempt to give the room an elegant flare. Several shelves line the plain, timbered walls at the far end of this diamond-shaped space, stacked with rows of colorful glass bottles. You also see a small wares notice.
Obvious exits: east, southeast read not

Creidne’s Creations - a small store with an open red door (64)

2007

[Creidne's Creations, Foyer]
A narrow foyer sandwiched by two open doors, one of which is framed with dark burgundy curtains faded in some spots to a silvery grey, leads further into the small store. A small chandelier supporting three shallow bowls of scented lamp oil dispels some of the darkness.
Obvious exits: south, out

[Creidne's Creations, Main Room]
A blade of light slices across the dusty floor from the west, augmenting the glow from several lit candles. Bundles of dried flowers hang upside down from the rafters, any scent they carried long gone and all color drained from their papery petals. Pedestals in each corner of the room hold glaes vases that have long lost their prismatic hue under a veneer of dirt. You also see a carved maoral hanging rack with some stuff on it and a carved oak hanging rack with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: north, west

Crossroads of the Gods - an austere stone edifice (20)

[Crossroads of the Gods]
A high domed ceiling looms overhead in this all but empty space, and an intricate compass design has been inlaid into the polished wooden floor. An enormous exquisitely faceted black diamond hangs suspended from the apex of the ceiling, creating a kaleidoscope of reflective colors, which spill directly onto the center of the inlay below. Obvious exits: north, out

[Crossroads of the Gods, Light]
The highly polished white marble walls and floor seem to give this room an incandescence, which is accentuated by an extraordinary golden sunstone gently swinging from a chain many feet above. Reflecting the surroundings, the gem fills the air with shimmers of pure warm light. A single long white table sits squarely in the center of the room and a golden-edged placard has been hung on the far wall. Obvious exits: north, south

[Crossroads of the Gods, Dark]
The highly polished red marble walls and floor create a dimly glowing ruby ambience in this room.

~*~ Pantheon of Neutrality~*~

In this room, you will find tokens of esteem for the goddesses of neutrality. For those unfamiliar with their lore, please peruse the information below.

A black linen-draped table sits at the back of the room, supporting a silver jewelry tree set amongst a myriad of colorful veils. You also see a small sign.

a carved blue cordierite pimpernel:
The unusual color of a carved blue cordierite pimpernel could be compared to a light blue sapphire with a purplish tint. Sometimes called a "water sapphire," pimpernel has an entrancing color-changing ability. When seen from one direction, the crystal is a clear blue-violet. But as it is rotated, the color changes first to yellowish-grey, then back towards light blue.

a green jade echinacea blossom:
The jade has a dark gray-green coloration, with some white marbling adding character to the stone. Its smooth, rounded edges and faces possess a waxy sheen.

a cinnamon brown jade pawpaw:
Veins of fir green and blood red jade twine within the richly hued brown body of the jade, adding to the beauty of the glossy stone.

a pure white carved jade trillium:
Almost luminous, the slightly translucent jade draws your eye past its smooth surface deeper into its cream-toned depths.

a soft yellow jade teardrop:
Gentle swirls of honey-hued jade meld to form this lovely specimen, about the size of a halfling's fist. The pale translucency of its outer surfaces draws your eye inward past its soft, lustrous surface.

an ebon-veined green malachite cabochon:
This cabochon is a globular mass of crystals bearing a strong resemblance to crushed green velvet. One side has been fractured, revealing the bands of light and dark green that lie beneath the surface.

a spiderweb turquoise cabochon:
Dusky veins spread over the sky blue surface in a pattern that resembles the shadow cast by a spider's most famous creation. Many cracks and chips mar the hard, rough surface, but the jewel's rich hue promises great beauty once it has been polished and properly treated.

a deep purple amethyst cabochon:
Several dark, deep purple prismatic spears radiate outward from a central point to form this crown-like collection of cabochon crystals. Each spear shows the deepest color in its interior, fading gradually to clear crystal on the outside.

a golden amber cabochon:
Roughly oval in shape, a golden amber cabochon is broad and flat, providing an excellent view of its transparent interior portion. Trapped within the golden yellow fossilized pine tree sap are several small flying insects and a dried flower.

Dark Rose Cottage - a rose-covered riverstone cottage (18)

2007

[Dark Rose Cottage, Interior]
Small and cozy, the cottage centerpiece is a large, riverstone fireplace flanked with open-shuttered windows. An overstuffed leather couch rests in front of the fireplace, atop a polished rosewood floor. Matching rosewood shelves and a crystal-encased table display an artist's wealth of wrought metal roses, gleaming in the moonlight. A small sign sits on the fireplace mantel which is flanked by a small marble-topped table and a rosewood weapon rack. You also see a piece of metal-edged parchment propped against the leather couch and a rose-carved mahogany door.

~~Metamorphic Weaponry~~

At least five slots of my artistry which allows your weapon to have five different looks will be distributed via various means throughout the festival.
--Rules--
Weapon must not be so infused with other powers that it interferes with mine.
I can make all five so you have to examine it closely, or I can make the artistry visible from a quick glance. I cannot mix and match.
If it is a falchion, it stays a falchion through every metamorphosis.

A garden tableau in metal covers the tabletop with faenor grass and gornar pathways twisting in miniature. Silvery green imflass rose bushes, meticulously crafted down to individual petals and thorns, dot the garden. Each bush is also covered in brilliantly colored and precisely made roses from myriad metals. There even appears to be a black ora rose bush, tucked between ice blue rhimar and blood red rolaren bushes. A crystal covering encases the entire garden, protecting it from errant hands.

Druesk’s Meat and Fish Market - a dingy dark-stoned shop (26)

Food and piercing jewlery - 2006, 2007

[Druesk's Meat and Fish Market]
Dark and dingy, the market is lined with glass-fronted counters that may once have been white. Exposed rafters house filthy lanterns coated in oily grime that attempt to shed a modicum of light upon the various cuts of meat and fish. Windows frame the lone entrance, which is set opposite an archway that leads into the back of the shop. You also see a series of floor baskets.
Obvious exits: out

On the glass-fronted counter you see a wedge of tart lime and a wedge of ripe lemon.

Chill enough to see one's breath, the room is illuminated by the sparse lighting making its way through the cracks of the open door, as well as through the archway that leads into the shop's front end.

2007

[Ebon Crypt, Foyer]
Like a ghostly phantom rising from the freshly filled grave, the gleaming ebony walls of the tower flow from the flagstone floor to the ribbed vaulted ceiling. Sconces let off enough light to reveal little more then the outline a pair of arched doors lining the walls of the cool and dark interior.
Obvious exits: north, out

[Ebon Crypt, See All]
Dim candlelight dances off the glaze-finished ebonwood cabinets that are used through the space. Inconspicuously mounted mirrors are illuminated from an unseen source. Four tall columns of matching ebonwood stand square in the center of the rustic stone floor draped from one pillar to the next with luxurious sheer silk that sighs at the slightest breeze. Shades of jade, stained red, and umber silk decorate this lavish inner sanctuary swirling around a tall pedestal holding a mirrored ball. You also see a stone-lined ebonwood arch.

Epitaphs of Love - a small shop with a clear crystal doorknob (65)

2006

On the brick fireplace you see an engraving ticket.

Faded Away - a tall wooden gate painted with pink blooms (48)

2006, 2007

[Faded Away, Garden]
Extravagant roses and climbing vines filled with morning glory blossoms consume the area, nearly overrunning the path that leads to and from a tall wooden gate. The garden is overwhelmingly filled with pink blooms in several varieties, offsetting the dreary grey wooden building that rises up to two stories over the garden.
Obvious paths: none

[Faded Away]
Tiny in terms of space, this shop is cluttered, with a long and sturdy rack, several wooden shelves, and a tall dresser taking up most of the area. Fraying curtains drape across the dusty windows, allowing in only minute motes of sunlight. Just next to a rickety set of stairs is a low wooden table. As if to add a touch of love and care to the otherwise bare surroundings, pink flowers have been painted along the edges of a narrow door and each of the furnishings.
Obvious exits: none

On the long and sturdy rack you see a deep crimson gown, a mud-stained skirt, some splotchy dark wool pants, a soot-stained shirt, a tattered deep blue cape, a pair of frayed breeches, a ripped velvet cloak and a ruffled puce shirt.

Fatal Attraction - a tall narrow house with black painted shutters (24)

2007

[Fatal Attraction, Display Room]
The room is small. Two narrow windows flank the door leading outside and provide the only light other than a pitiful looking candle mounted on an opposite wall. In the center of the room sits a round table on top of a round brown rug. Against the wall is a shelf and beneath it a row of hooks. A narrow stairwell leads upstairs.
Obvious exits: none

Mirrors on table are 14000.

On the round table you see a small red mirror, a small yellow mirror, a small blue mirror and a small green mirror.

On the wood shelf you see a single black rose, a mithril Ebon Gate miniature, a miniature black coffin and a miniature grey tombstone.

[Fatal Attraction, Upstairs]
The room is narrow and a small porthole window is set in a wall across from a stairwell leading downward. A small bed is squeezed into the room accompanied by an equally small bedside table. A chest sits at the foot of the bed with a cushion placed upon it to serve as seating.
Obvious exits: down

Feed the Beast - a wide thick-timbered shop (14)

[Feed the Beast, Front Room]
Barely more than a foyer, this room opens into a larger shop beyond thick-timbered arches that lead in opposite directions. Though there are windows on each of the sidewalls, neither is open to allow in fresh breezes or anything else that might invite itself. The air is left suffused with a peculiar scent; a mixture consisting of the scent of freshly cut fruits and vegetables and the coppery twang of blood. On the wall between the arches sits a table, its surface laden with items for inspection.
Obvious exits: northeast, northwest, out

On the wooden table you see a lined dark leather feed satchel, a wide-mouthed flip lid jar, a waxed parchment bag and a waxed parchment packet.

a lined dark leather feed satchel      5000      Not worn; MA/Any number; Has purpose
a wide-mouthed flip lid jar             500      Not worn; SA/Any number; Has purpose

a waxed parchment packet                 50      Not worn; SA/Several items; Has purpose

[Feed the Beast, Meats]
The temperature in this part of the shop is noticeably colder than the other parts, and this is likely due to the huge blocks of ice sitting awkwardly in washtubs beneath the steel display of meats. Some of the blocks are misshapen, as if bits have been hammered or shaved from them, leaving them as the logical origins of the mounds of ice filling the display. Above, strands of twisted hemp bear other offerings.
Obvious exits: southwest, northwest

Items in this room are 500.

On the steel display you see some hunks of raw goat meat, some hunks of raw rolton meat, some cubes of raw urgh meat, some cubes of raw gak meat, a foggy-eyed pink salmon and a small copper-bellied brim.

On the twisted hemp you see a long-tailed dead squirrel, a dead tiny brown mouse, a dead soft grey rabbit, a dead tan-furred gopher, a long juicy earthworm and a wrinkled pale green caterpillar.

[Feed the Beast, Miscellaneous]
Here the scent of leather overwhelms any other, and the reason is plain to see. Fine hides are stretched taut on sturdy wooden frames that have been hoisted to hang from hemp ropes dangling from the rafters. Strips of measured leather and suede lay draped across a worktable, along with a variety of tools suited to work the materials. Beside a door of heavy oak is a stand with several shelves and a small round table, offering what look to be the goods produced in this room.
Obvious exits: southeast, southwest

Items on shelves are 15000.

On the shelves you see some russet strips of muslin, some gold-swept strips of blue satin, some strips of slashed emerald leather, some suede-tied lengths of cotton, some beaded silver mesh bands, some onyx-edged ivory suede bands, some embossed crimson leather bands, a set of coiled ebon ribbon bands, a hooked thick invar spur, a double-bladed copper spur, some hammered silver spurs and some razored dark faenor spurs.

On the round table you see a simply carved rowan brush, a silver-chased thick-bristled brush, a lacquered oaken comb, a fine-toothed dark ivory comb, a reinforced stiff suede gauntlet, a cord-tied thick hawker's gauntlet, a dusky leather hawking glove, a padded suede falconer glove, some padded dusky suede paw-wraps, some ivory silk copper-bound paw-wraps, some thickly lined leather paw-wraps, some suede and muslin paw-wraps, delicate thin-linked collar, a burnished fine leather collar, a silk-threaded silver link collar and a braided soft suede collar.

a braided soft suede collar                 15000

[Feed the Beast, Outside]
A cul-de-sac of trees hems in this small yard, their thick trunks and long, up-reaching branches creating something of a rampart to guard against noise of the street beyond. Beneath the trees are bushes of berries and fruits, and off to one side, a small garden plot of autumn vegetables is flourishing. In the open space left in the middle, an iron-framed bench has been placed, with metal-bound wooden buckets on each side, full of clear water. You also see a heavy oak door.
Obvious paths: none

[Feed the Beast, Sundry Foods]
Crates of fresh vegetables and fruits are carefully stacked along the left side of the room, forming a multi-tiered wall opposite the actual displays of fruits, vegetables, and nuts for sale. Wicker baskets brimming with acorns and unshelled peanuts sit under the displays, while a scattering of empty hulls lie here and there to give every other step a loud crunch.
Obvious exits: northeast, southeast

Items on displays are 200.

On the wooden displays you see a thick slice of honeydew, a small head of lettuce, a thick green-topped carrot, a handful of shelled raw acorns, a few large raw hazelnuts, some raw red-skinned peanuts, a handful of raw almonds, a firm wedge of nectarine, a piece of green speckled pear, a thick wedge of red apple, a handful of crumbled cheese, a small bit of cheddar cheese and a piece of hulled coconut.

Felfire House - a towering grey stone chateau topped with a crystal dome (55)

2007

[Felfire House, Entry]
A spacious hallway stretches before you, lit with only a few guttering candles. In the dim, blue-tinged light you can barely discern a floor of dark wood and heavy velvet curtains that intensify the darkness. The sound of music beckons from beyond stone arch, while a broad passage leads further eastward. A twisted staircase of black wrought iron spirals upward into the shadows. Beside it, a shorter set of stairs leads to an upper level of the structure, their surfaces littered with splintered boards.
Obvious exits: east, out

[Felfire House, Dining]
Dyed to the hue of dark rubies, soft carpet underfoot stifles any sound. Gold cutlery brightens the food-laden buffet table, each surface glinting with the light of wall-mounted candle sconces. The high ceilings are festooned with colorful garlands of autumn leaves and flowers that sway with the faintest breath of air.
Obvious exits: west

On the buffet table you see a carafe of deep burgundy wine, a scrollworked silver platter, a sparkling crystal punch bowl, a gold-rimmed porcelain plate, a large ceramic tureen, an elaborate filigree tray, a wooden cutting slab and a cardinal glass serving dish.

On the silver platter you see a petite fresh cucumber sandwich.

On the porcelain plate you see a wedge of aged sharp cheese.

On the filigree tray you see a caviar-topped cracked wheat cracker.

On the cutting slab you see a helping of sauteed velnalin.

On the glass serving dish you see a cup of honeydew sherbert.

[Felfire House, Observatory]
Like stepping upward into the sky, azure and sunshine surrounds you. A crystal dome stretches overhead, allowing a perfect, uninterrupted view of the crisp blue. Sunlight twinkles on the floor of ebon marble, its surface polished so smoothly that it catches brilliance and reflects it. Upholstered in twilight-hued velvet, clusters of chairs have been placed throughout the austere room, while the sky above offers plenty of illumination. You also see a twisted staircase of black wrought iron.

[Felfire House, Ballroom]
Pale violet and fog grey engage in an intricate courtship over the domed plaster ceiling, the silvery swirls of pre-dawn melding with the lavender blush of daybreak. Mirroring the colors above, an expanse of highly polished marble stretches toward walls paneled with dark, glistening wood. An elaborate chandelier of reflective silver is suspended from the ceiling, set with thousands of flickering candles that illuminate the floor, but leave the corners of the room lost in shadow. You also see a raised velvet-swathed dais and a pale stone arch with a prominent pointed keystone.

Fickle Fancies - an oak-trimmed stone shop (43)

2006, 2007

[Fickle Fancies]
As if from some spectral censer, the faintest hint of jasmine haunts the air, and the warmth emanating from the fire in the hearth on the far wall adds a smoky hint to the sweetness. Polished oak boards provide the flooring for this shop, though the newness of their veneer has been scuffed away by footsteps and furniture moves alike. You also see a small silk-covered table with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: east, southeast, west, out

On the silk-covered table you see a cup of warm spiced berry cider, a chilled glass of lemon water, a pecan and chocolate cookie and some spiced apple crumb cake. (Free)

[Fickle Fancies]
Brushed silver sconces line the walls, topped with candles of pale ivory that burn with a constant fervency, causing a riot of shadows to play across the ceiling. On the furthermost wall from the arched entry is a portrait of a yellow-haired youth. His blue eyes have been rendered with such detail that they seem almost to dance with mischief above the slight smile curling his lips. You also see a willowy maoral mannequin with some stuff on it and a dark thanot mannequin with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: west

On the maoral mannequin you see a bronze circlet, a watered blue-green silk bodice, a bronze and copper-linked waistchain, a long teal marbrinus skirt and some henna-hued soft suede boots.

[Fickle Fancies]
In the far corner sits a wrought iron-legged oaken sewing table, which is lined with small tins of buttons, thread spools, and needles. Beside it is a chair of comparable make, but it sits askew as if its former occupant rose in a hurry. Within reach of the table, in a basket set to the side, are swathes of fabric, both vibrant in hue and rich in weave. You also see a slender mistwood mannequin with some stuff on it and a petite rowan mannequin with some stuff on it.

[Fickle Fancies]
Across the abraded oaken floor, a myriad of wooden toys have been strewn, as if thrown down in the midst of play. A small wooden rolton with a tail of unwound twine has fallen over, and a miniature sword of smooth haon bears a tiny crimson handprint on its simply carved hilt. High on the back wall is a thin wooden shelf, and upon it is a conical silver incense holder, leaking wisps of jasmine-scented smoke. You also see a tall oak mannequin with some stuff on it and a thin haon mannequin with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: east

Forget Me Not - a small cottage (9)

2006, 2007

[Forget Me Not, Light]
A dappled light floods in through the window along the far wall of this small cottage. Quaint white lace curtains perfectly match the pale violet hue of the paneled walls from which bouquets of dried flower arrangements hang. A fat cream-colored cat licks ardently at his paws, while customers walk around him, admiring the wares. You also see a carved mistwood table with some stuff on it, a simple woven basket, a glass case, a tall veil stand with some stuff on it, a small notice and a front door.

[Forget Me Not, Dark]
In contrast with the other room of this cottage, this alcove has a decidedly somber tone. Ripped black silk curtains hang limp from the square front window, while the walls are chipped and dented as if they have been beaten upon. Long, dusty tapestries hang from the low-beamed ceiling, enticing a bony black cat to swat at their fringed edges. You also see a glass case, a tall veil stand with some stuff on it and a simple woven basket.

Sumptuous wafts of freshly baked confectionery floods the small, cozy cottage.

Funeral Fashions - a narrow granite shop (47)

2007

[Funeral Fashions]
Layers of dust coat the worn modwir planking of the floor of this cramped, dimly lit shop. Dingy sheets hide the vaguely recognizable outlines of armoires, counters, and most of the other furniture.

Grey House - a grey slate-shingled house (31)

2006, 2007

[Grey House, Common Room]
The occupants of this house placed housekeeping low on the to-do list, a fact evident by the corroding layers of dust and grime that cling to every available surface. Soot stains crawl upward along the stones of the fireplace, slender and spread wide like fingers splayed, reaching toward the thatched roof. A long bench sits askew beside a scarred oak table, which is flanked on the opposite side by a three-legged chair pitched precariously to one side. A small, overturned basket of sticks rests on the hearth. You also see a heavy wooden door.
Obvious exits: north, out

On the oak table you see a misshapen white candle, a stained dark oak bowl, a tarnished three-pronged fork, a dull butter knife, a silver-topped ebonwood candlestick and an unfinished lump of aventurine. Under the oak table you see a tiny swirl-etched bead.

[Grey House, Kitchen]
A scent both sweet and acrid permeates this cramped space, herbs and smoke from a long-extinguished fire haunting the air. Overhead, some low unfinished wood beams create a hazard for anyone much taller than a human as the pitch of the roof slants downward. Nestled at the end of a long oaken counter is a stout wood-burning stove, its hinged front grate left open with nothing but half-burned ashen lengths of wood in its belly. Every corner houses a congregation of dust clumps, and the occasional cold draft sweeps another across the floorboards.

[Grey House, Cellar]
Ledges carved from the earth itself harbor a myriad of spent candle stubs, their wicks barely supporting the feeble flames that remain to dimly illuminate this claustrophobic cellar. Wax drips and runs down the walls to the dirt floor, clumping as it cools, while the supports saving this space from total collapse weep silken strands of spiderweb. Against the side wall is a tall set of oak shelves, and at the very heart of the floor is a crudely drawn dirt circle, its purpose ambiguous to all but its creator. You also see an iron-bound wooden trapdoor.

[Haunting Sounds, Spectral]
The surrounding air is still and dank as if inside a coffin. The combined smell of rotting wood and dead roses permeates the small room, making it difficult to catch a breath.

The strong scent of sage drowns out the pungent odor of rotted wood and mold in this tiny corner of the shop.

2006, 2007

[Ironwright's]
Three large, open air firepits flare and crackle in a line just outside the covering of a stone roof supported by a number of heat-blackened pillars. Metal shavings and fallen droplets lie swept into a neat pile in one corner of the clear, hard-packed dirt floor. Several aprons hang from a long iron peg near a wrought iron arch leading back out to the wey.

[Ironwright's, Smelter]
An enormous brick forge occupies the center of a barren courtyard, fed by a triad of bellows manned by ghostly figures. Scattered among the coals are a number of brightly glowing incarnadine crystals that pulse with each gust of air. Some charred ceramic crucibles stand in a lopsided pile near a long wooden trough filled with stagnant water and chunks of ore and melted slag are scattered around the courtyard in large heaps. On one side of the courtyard, a rusty iron water pump drips slowly into a deep moss-covered well.

Knick's Knacks - a large wooden antique shop (35)

[Knick's Knacks, Serried Stands]
This area is filled with dozens of wooden stands, each varying in design, material, color, and function, but spaced perfectly equidistant from each other across the entire room. In contrast, a small display case stands off to the side of the room, ostracized from the rest of the furnishings in the room. On the far wall is a scratched teakwood door with a brilliantly shining gold plaque affixed to it.
Obvious exits: west

The large plaque has been polished to such a high sheen that its surface is nearly mirror-like. Etched into the center of the plaque, so faintly that it can barely be seen, is a single symbol, its lines and curves so intricate and unpredictable that trying to follow the pattern from start to finish brings on a feeling of near vertigo.

Charms are not worn, have purpose and the following show: Lines of tiny curling runes sweep across the surface of the charm.

Leaf and Flower - a trio of scuffed wooden steps leading to a rickety porch (31)

Weavables and baskets - 2006, 2007

[Rickety Porch]
The narrow porch, striped with deep shadows, stretches the length of the dull-colored storefront and is bracketed by spindly columns of splintered grey wood.

The Look it Took - a slender white stone building (34)

[The Look It Took, Chamber]
Whitewashed stone walls lined with applewood shelves, and pale oak floors give the room a clean, compact feel. A swath of plum moire silk is draped artistically over a filigreed silver mirror that props up a varnished oak-framed sign. A stacked collection of wooden boxes serve as an eye-catching focal point, balanced delicately atop each other.

Love Me, Love Me Not - a fence with a swinging gate surrounding a large yard, a modest stone cottage within the yard (19)

[Love Me, Love Me Not, Fountain]
Behind the cottage, the air is soft and cool, made so by the overhang of oak branches laden with stringy moss. Well in the shade of the trees, an iron-framed wood slat bench is situated so as to offer a picturesque view of a round stone fountain set against the backdrop of flowers in the wooden planters beyond. A rough hewn post hovers near the bench, and from it dangles a moss-lined wire hanging basket, adding a fragrant accompaniment to the musical flow of water. You also see a swinging gate leading back to the street.

Trickling water creates a soft melody that filters into the area from somewhere around behind the cottage.

The gravel underfoot creates a rough river of greyed stones that flows in gentle curves along the side of the cottage and through the cultivated yard. A hook mounted on a stone in the cottage wall supports a moss-lined wire hanging basket, while beneath sits a set of raised wooden planters populated with vibrantly hued blossoms.

The stone wall of the cottage is covered by moss that creeps along the crevices. From a hook fixed near the door, a moss-lined wire hanging basket dangles with honeysuckle vines and jasmine vines draped lazily over the edges, while a window flower box is brimming with miniature rose bushes. A slender gravel path leads away from the glass-paned door, and at the bend are an orange tree, an apple tree, a lantana bush, and a magnolia tree enclosed in a wood-framed tree plot. A tall white marble sculpture sits on the other side of the path that meanders onward past a set of raised wooden planters housing a dwarf gardenia bush and a dwarf camellia bush.

Warm oak planks stretch out from the threshold of the entrance, creating a floor that is sturdy, but worn by time. Beneath a small window, a half-moon oak dining table is pushed flush against the wall, with a set of thin-cushioned chairs huddled around it to overcrowd the space. Nearby, a simple wood and iron rack houses a few simple refreshments, while on the opposite wall a scarred oak counter displays a variety of goods as well as a small handwritten note. At the very end of the counter is a frosted glass-paned door, which leads outside.

I would say I have been blessed with the gift of bringing beauty from the earth, but I believe more so, the Mother simply hears my prayers.

A Messy House - a messy brick house (20)

[A Messy House, Front Room]
Junk is strewn across the floor of the room, making it hard to maneuver.

[A Messy House, Kitchen]
Piles of junk have been kicked to the side to form a walkway, but the effort is negated by the filth of the actual floor itself. Cabinets stand permanently open, missing their doors and their hinges, above a junk-obscured counter. The area around the stove is clear, but the walls are scorched above it.

The plaster coating on the walls is cracked and peeling, leaving the unfinished floor a mess of debris. Although the supporting boards are exposed in some places, there is still evidence of attempts to upkeep the small shop. A square of floor has been swept clean, and one corner of the room is freshly painted. You also see a wrought iron rose-motif rack with some stuff on it and an iron rose-motif shelf with some stuff on it.

Mourning Mist - a small black stone cottage (45)

[Mourning Mist, Entry]
Elegant and simple, this circular room is dimly lit by tall wrought-iron candelabra along the perimeter. The walls are draped in whisper-thin black gossamer, allowing a faint glimpse of what appear to be shadowy figures on the others side of the veils. Standing on the lacquered black ebonwood floor is a brushed silver table.
Obvious exits: north, east, out

In the Common language, it reads:

Mourning the loss of a loved one is a deeply personal expression.

Muirne’s Makeup - a narrow and neat storefront (37)

2006, 2007

[Muirne's Makeup, Foyer]
A narrow slip of a shop, the wares are cramped for space. Various counters and tables line both of the longer walls, and a curtained alcove at the far end parallels the front door. Copper sconces filled with jasmine-scented oil glow warmly and are mounted well above the burgundy silk wall hangings.
Obvious exits: north, out

[Muirne's Makeup, Central Shop]
A thin aisle traverses the length of the small store, passing between counters and tables bearing displays of makeup. Off to the side, a large leather case stands wedged between two of them. Indigo velvet curtains banded with burgundy silk drape partially over an alcove opening leading back to a private area.
Obvious exits: north, south

Inside the leather case are several jars of woad tinted to create unique warpaints.

In the leather case you see an incarnadine warpaint jar, a violet warpaint jar, a kohl warpaint jar, a coal black warpaint jar, an ochre warpaint jar, a saffron warpaint jar and a viridian warpaint jar. (warpaint, inspects as shoulderworn, 5000 silvers)

Muirne’s Multiplicity - a faded dusky blue-sashed cottage (38)

[Muirne's Multiplicity, Shop]
Without much choice, given the petite size of the building, all available space has been left open to accommodate customers with their shopping needs. A tall hanging rack is draped with a variety of colorful garments, each exquisitely tailored. Leading into a more private back room is a dark curtained archway. You also see a small sign.
Obvious paths: south

[Muirne's Multiplicity, Studio]
Scattered about is a variety of low wooden stools and plush cushions, providing resting spots for the waiting clientele. Set towards the back and framed by two thin altars holding simple stone bowls filled with wicked oil, stands a heavily scarred worktable. Soft light from the small lamps barely illuminates the setting, and a small grouping of white candles on the table top seems more for the shop owner than others present.

Natural Needs - a mud and plank cabin (27)

2007

[Natural Needs]
Bark and whittled bits of wood litter the plank floor. A low workbench rests against one dirty wall, etched with odd diagrams. The drawings continue upward onto the walls and ceiling, scrawled with varying shades of ink or scratched into the plaster. A carving knife, apparently hurled with some force, protrudes from the door that leads outside. You also see a large hole in the floor with jagged, fresh edges.

[Natural Needs]
Plunged into near darkness, it takes a moment to discern the rough-hewn stone walls that surround this small space. Apparently the craft of someone mad or intensely bored, individual flakes litter the floor, each reflecting the methodical chipping of the solid rock that has formed the room. Bottle-lined shelving makes the cramped cell almost unbearably cluttered. A steep ramp, formed of the discarded fragments, offers an escape from the dank, dim chamber.
Obvious exits: none

Items on shelving are 25000.

On the set of shelving you see a stout invar jug, a small bulbous black glass jug, a twisted steel bottle, a blue imflass bottle, a green glass bottle, a rich green glass bottle, a slender black fel bottle, a small copper bottle, a slender plain silver bottle, a simple wooden bottle, an aquamarine blown glass bottle, a purple turnip-shaped bottle, a portly brown bottle, a crude wooden bottle, a rusty twisted bottle, a long-necked amber glass bottle, a white and blue glass bottle, a partially charred bottle, a dark ironwood flask, a small square silver flask and a lacquered ebonwood flask.

Nature’s Tastes - a small cottage (18)

2007

[Nature's Tastes]
Pale walls stand, unadorned, in sharp contrast to the colorful wildflower arrangements resting on carved willow pedestals that frame the entrance. Simple pine furniture padded with sagging brown oilcloth cushions has been arranged in a slight circular pattern around a glass-topped center table. The scent of flowers mingles delicately with the baking smells emanating from an adjacent room. You also see a weathered trunk and a simple pine shelf with some stuff on it.

[Nature's Tastes, Kitchen]
A long wooden counter takes up one wall, its surface covered with sacks of grain, bowls and other baking necessities. Oaken bins worn smooth by constant use and lidded containers neatly labeled in red ink are a testament to the baker's ability and versatility. A large wood stove spurts and crackles in one corner, the appetizing smells of freshly baked goods permeating throughout. You also see a bone-handled green willow tray with some stuff on it, a narrow birch door, a woven willow basket and a small pine table with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: south Items on tray are 200.

[Nature's Tastes, Garden]
The area behind the cottage has been transformed into a compact vegetable and fruit garden.

A woven straw basket rests placidly amidst the greenery.

Necking - a small grey granite boutique (45)

[Necking, Entry]
Lengths of sheer charcoal gossamer are suspended from the ceiling of this circular room, and the area is softly lit by smoky glass sconces affixed to the black willow walls. A sable-covered chaise lounge provides a comfortable resting place for weary shoppers, and a spindly silver table bears refreshments. You also see a silver-inlaid mistwood door.
Obvious exits: west

On the silver table you see a cup of orange spice tea and a raspberry tart. (Free)

[Necking, Circling the Throat]
A well-lit ebonwood counter runs the length of the back wall, flanked on either side by a twisted wire tree and a brushed silver candelabra. A white snowcat fur rug is soft underfoot, covering the majority of a cool grey marble floor. Hanging from the watered black silk walls is a silver-embossed vellum sign.

O’Kill’s Barn - a dilapidated old barn (19)

[O'Kill Barn, Hay Storage]
The large interior of the barn is filled with piles, stacks, and bales of hay. Hanging down from the lofty ceiling, large chains are fitted with all manner of hooks and clamps, which sway ever so slightly in the dusty air. The opposite ends of the chains wind through pulleys and anchor into cranks and levers that are spaced around the knotty wooden walls. A couple of small stalls, one shut tight with a rusty padlock, are fit into the rear corners of the barn. You also see an open stall door and a rustic wooden sign.

In the Common language, it reads:

Welcome to my barn!

All weaponry here is enchanted the same as vultite.

The jugs contain different varieties of temporary enhancive potions.

[O'Kill Barn, Small Stall]
A strange contraption, appearing to be a mutated cross between a forge and loom, dominates the otherwise small stall. Bales of hay are stacked into a makeshift table, and a thick, wire, feeding basket is fastened about three-quarters up the rear wall. A narrow window lets in a slight draft of clean air, which mingles into swirls among the drifting dust of the barn. You also see a roughly hewn sign, a sanded wooden plank and an open stall door.

Oddments by Crocus - a painted wooden cottage (40)

2006

[Oddments by Crocus]
Pale lavender walls have been embellished with a myriad of tiny hand-painted images, including flowers, trees, stars, and a variety of animals. No space has been left clear of decoration, making the overall effect fussy and a little distracting. Windows facing onto the street are covered with elaborately beaded curtains, and a hodgepodge of mismatched furniture pieces fills the room, leaving just a few narrow passageways through the neatly ordered clutter. You also see a carved haon sign.
Obvious exits: north, east, out

In the Common language, it reads:

-Welcome Guests-

A few things to note:

Items in the bookcase are imbued with magic to aid in concealment.
Items in the armoire are prepared to receive magic spells.
The cupboard holds an assortment of magical items.
The curio cabinet contains items intended only for wizards. Not only will non-wizards be unable to benefit from the item, they will be unable to wear them due to special magical properties. NOTE: These items will crumble if not recharged before their magic is spent.

~*~Crocus~*

You see some mismatched furniture pieces. Although worn with age, every stick of furniture has been polished until the surfaces gleam. Nary a speck of dust is to be found.

Omokai’s Cottage - a small stone cottage with a dark green roof (8)

[Omokai's Cottage, South]
A threadbare burgundy rug welcomes visitors to the cottage's cozy confines. Clinging to the furniture upholstery is a lingering mustiness mingled with the scent of brine. Several seascapes rendered muted watercolors adorn the darkly stained walls along with a few miscellaneous mementos. Hanging from a painted dark green door, a handmade wreath of pinecones and tree nuts dangles tiny silver bells upon silk ribbons. You also see a carved rosewood table with ball and claw legs with some stuff on it.

The Parazonium - a very small dingy stone building (5)

A Passing Fancy - a dark vine-covered building (40)

In the Common language, it reads:

I have an offering of formal tea sets, but please do remember: a pot is not a kettle! Do not attempt to heat your tea in these, you will damage them beyond recognition, and what a terrible thing that would be. They are most delicate pieces and intended for serving only.

A Pious Habit - a small granite-walled chapel (19)

2006, 2007

[A Pious Habit]
Thick tapestries faded to muted shades cover the granite block walls of this modest vestry, and a lone crumpled tapestry, half fallen from its supports, pools in a shadowed corner. The gleam of samite is visible down a narrow hallway where the bulk of the temple's vestments are stored. Framed between scorched half-round columns beneath a pair of lancet windows, a row of haon pegs holds a selection of habiliments surprisingly well preserved against decay and rot.
Obvious exits: out

Darkened by age and grime, a layer of dust masks the pattern that lies underneath the warp and weft of the tapestry.

Under the crumpled tapestry you see a plain haon trapdoor.

On the haon pegs you see an austere ivory silk cassock, a lined ebony brocade chasuble, a long beaded belt and some chipped obsidian prayerbeads.

[A Pious Habit, Storage]
Heavy stone blocks are shrouded in a layer of dust that covers the floor in a haze. The recent passage of footprints scribes a cleaner path between the ladder leading to the hatched door overhead and various shelves. A heavy haon-bound chest has been set right in the middle of the room, as if to deliberately block further passage. Some ambitious soul has made it past, as evidenced by the trailing ends of broken cobwebs and a begrimed overturned trunk behind the chest.
Obvious exits: west

On the dusty shelves you see a gold-trimmed black suede cassock, a grey fur-trimmed chasuble, a dual-hued peaked satin hat, an argent and ivory silk biretta, a long niveous moire cope, some opal and gold prayerbeads, a wide-linked silver chain belt and a bell-sleeved russet wool cassock.

A Ramshackle Wooden Cottage - a ramshackle wooden cottage with a red door (17)

[Ramshackle Cottage, Main Room]
Every surface is covered with a thick layer of dust. In the beams of sunlight that manage to get through the filthy glass windows, yet more dust floats and dances in the draughts that flow through the cracks between the warped wooden planks of the wall. In the one uncluttered corner of the room next to a small trapdoor, there is a dirty linen box and a shapeless cloth pack. Tacked onto the wall next to a rickety wooden door is a dog-eared piece of parchment.
Obvious exits: out

In the Common language, it reads:
Hello! All the bags in this room are for the discerning individual when regular clothes just don't cut it! Why wear cumbersome, tight, and itchy leathers when you can wear a comfortable and spacious sack? Is your acne getting you down? Or maybe you were just born ugly? There is nothing a bag over your head won't solve! I even painted some of them myself! Disclaimer: If you leave it on too long and suffocate that is your own fault.

[Ramshackle Cottage, Kitchen]
An aroma of overcooked cabbage pervades the musty air in this tiny and cluttered room. A burning brazier in the corner of the room provides light, but for some reason no warmth. A chipped porcelain sink piled high with dirty dishes leaks a steady dribble of murky water over the cracked tiles. The shade created by a cracked trestle table provides a suitable place for various mushrooms and fungi to grow. Tacked onto the wall next to a rickety wooden door is a dog-eared piece of parchment.
Obvious exits: none

In the Common language, it reads:

Relics of the Faithful - a black iron gate leading to a somber courtyard (21)

[Relics of the Faithful]
A rough gravel path ascends a low hill to a small domed temple. Traces of firelight grace the broad granite steps on the temple portico. Surrounding the hill, a sea of aged headstones rises from the grass. Several graves appear to have been disturbed, although none have been exhumed. A crudely made shovel lies forgotten upon the sward. A somber-faced ghost keeps vigil near the temple.
Obvious paths: out

[Relics of the Faithful, Temple]
Austere statues gaze down from their alcoves along the walls of the temple, their shadowy refuges pierced by the light of an immense iron brazier smoldering in the center of the room. Before each alcove, a single, unadorned stone coffin rests upon the flagstone floor as if in kneeling tribute. The room is circular, with no alcove taking precedence over another. An unobtrusive opening in the floor leads to a descending staircase. You see a visaged ghost keeping vigil over a candle-lit shrine. You also see a small mahogany table with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: out

On the candle-lit shrine you see a tightly sealed burial urn, a palm frond, a delicately gilded toe nail, a small crystal orb, a fragment of bone, a scrap of blood-stained cloth and a salt-preserved haddock.

[Relics of the Faithful]
Deep horizontal niches ring this circular chamber, lining the walls from floor to high celing, each occupied by a withered corpse, a cluster of small urns, or a dusty sarcophagus. Despite its obvious antiquity, the chamber is well-maintained, free of cobwebs or corruption. A stone staircase arcs up towards the temple proper, flanked by tall iron braziers crowned with flickering flames. A solemnly countenanced ghost keeps vigil over a multitude of casks of various sizes. You also see a large iron-banded barrel.

2006, 2007

[Reunion Relics]
This room is an autumnal haven, its decor providing a tribute to the time of the season. The walls are painted a faint beige with swirls of pale browns, reds, oranges, and yellows blending together subtly.

[Ribbons and Lace Boutique]
Ribbons of pink and lilac silk chase across the walls in whimsical pursuit of gilded snowblossoms. A lifelike mannequin bedecked in a lace flounced hat of extravagant proportions turns her gaze up a narrow flight of stairs, her hand cast lightly upon the white latticework banister. Three dressing rooms give mingling patrons some privacy, and exclamations of delight punctuate the pervasive drone of shoppers. Whitewashed counters are spaced evenly across the floor and pairs of scroll-backed chairs are scattered along the walls.

A Rickety Old Oak Manor - a rickety old oak manor (49)

[A Rickety Oak Manor, Foyer]
The musty smell of mold and decay permeates this room while dust motes float by on an invisible breeze, flitting through the air. The dilapidated door hangs by its upper hinges, tilting ominously as it squeaks and sways. Numerous stray wooden beams with worm damage bleeding throughout have caused the roof to collapse near one corner, opening the room to the elements.

Riverboat Taer - a marooned riverboat (28)

2006

[Riverboat Taer, Bow]
Shading winking waters, The Eye of Taer offers a glimpse of the town of Velathae past her salt-stained pillars and heavily sloped roof. A simple wooden wheel remains turned into the sandbar, and beyond it, a shadowy overhang offers access to the ship's skeleton.
Obvious paths: out

[Riverboat Taer, Overhang]
Motes of dust from the ship's bow beyond hang carelessly from spindles of light that infiltrate an intricate array of tile work acting as ballast to boxy stacks of tilted eaves overhead. Beyond their scant incandescence, one large pillar, illuminated by waterlogged silk and paper screens, dominates the screeching vessel's tight hall like an unsure captain. Arranged haphazardly, small collections of different oils and bleached fish bones scatter beneath, like offerings to an ancient deity. You also see a spiral stair descending into darkness and a hand-printed sign.
Obvious exits: north

In the Common language, it reads: Please note that weapons found throughout the riverboat have been enchanted to the equivalent of vultite.

[Riverboat Taer, Garden]
A twisting labyrinth of interlocking river stones, the center of this tiny garden submits to an expansive empty fountain. Petite withered trees with crinkled black fruit immortalized at their feet flank the silent font, while cuts in the riverboat's roof allow constant streaming light through winged doors fashioned from the tile. Devoid of its latch, one bangs eternally against its frame in the ship's peaked roof, the metallic sound ricocheting from a rack of sai-styled gardening tools. You also see a luminous silver silk screen and a ghostly erithian monk.
Obvious exits: north, south

Items on the tool rack are 20000, brawling weapons, sai, and 4x.

On the tool rack you see a dusky gornar jitte, a sleek drakar sai, a pale blue rhimar sai, a dark blue zorchar jitte and a storm grey vultite sai.

a dark blue zorchar jitte with a white leather-wrapped handle
a sleek drakar sai with crimson-speckled tines
a pale blue rhimar sai
a storm grey vultite sai.

[Riverboat Taer, Stern]
Lined from paper screens to wooden stern in square straw mats, a perpetual wash of subdued candlelight flickers from a raised dais at one apex of this small chamber. The scintillating waves of color refract across a chipped tanik-framed mirror opposite the altar, tumbling over a neatly folded old silken pad piled with faded tightly woven blankets. Chalky dust, like the fibers of spent incense, raise from each gust of air that penetrates small slats gouged high in the furthest wall. You also see a weathered antique cabinet.
Obvious exits: none

Items in cabinet are 25000, beltworn, SA for a couple of items, and have purpose.

In the antique cabinet you see a muted green watered silk sash, a red-trimmed black silk harness, a heavy black wool harness, a wide royal blue silk harness and a silk and cloth-of-gold sash.

a muted green watered silk sash:
You see a muted green watered silk sash made of fine silk and decorated with masterful skill. Wound securely within lengths of the sash and positioned to be worn on the left hip, you see two fine scabbards set together. The first, a silver-capped carved ivory scabbard, is set slightly forward and lower than the second, a silver-inlaid rowan scabbard. Both are angled for a quick draw in combat.

a silk and cloth-of-gold sash:
You see a silk and cloth-of-gold sash made of fine silk and decorated with masterful skill. Wound securely within lengths of the sash and positioned to be worn on the left hip, you see two fine scabbards set together. The first, a brushed steel-capped ivory scabbard, is set slightly forward and lower than the second, a lacquered onyx-banded ebonwood scabbard. Both are angled for a quick draw in combat.

a red-trimmed black silk harness:
You see a red-trimmed black silk harness made of fine silk and tied into elaborate knotwork. Designed to be worn on the left hip, the black silk harness could be easily attached to armor or a belt. Secured by the elaborate knotwork you see a ruby-inlaid polished ivory scabbard set for a quick draw, and a silver-capped bleached bone scabbard positioned slightly behind and at a slight angle down.

a heavy black wool harness:
You see a heavy black wool harness made of fine silk and tied into elaborate knotwork. Designed to be worn on the left hip, the black wool harness could be easily attached to armor or a belt. Secured by the elaborate knotwork you see a steel-capped oak scabbard set for a quick draw, and a simple faewood scabbard positioned slightly behind and at a slight angle down.

a wide royal blue silk harness:
You see a wide royal blue silk harness made of fine silk and tied into elaborate knotwork. Designed to be worn on the left hip, the royal blue silk harness could be easily attached to armor or a belt. Secured by the elaborate knotwork you see a lacquered emerald green deringo harness set for a quick draw, and a gold-inlaid engraved villswood scabbard positioned slightly behind and at a slight angle down.

[Riverboat Taer, Interior Hull]
Branching left and right on a dramatic incline that riddles dark modwir flooring with deep crags, the northbound passage splits into two narrow corridors. Deep-bottomed lanterns sway from steel cables beside the portal, their hexagonal sides scarred with ancient black lumps of useless hardened fuel. The ceaseless clacking and screeching is overwhelming in this portion of the vessel, where a blanket of chilly wet wind wraps everything in its dank atmosphere. You also see a spiral stair ascending to the main deck, a tall carved maoral table with some stuff on it and a large placard.
Obvious exits: northeast, south, northwest

In the Common language, it reads: Items on display here are intended for those experienced in brawling. You must have trained in brawling a minimum of 10 times to make use of the bracers and a minimum of 50 times to make use of the vambraces. The properties of the items are such that they will increase your skill at brawling as well as one of your inherent characteristics. The items are differentiated as follows:

Those with panther agate will improve your agility. Those with storm agate will improve your strength. Those with blood agate will improve your constitution. Those with nathala agate will improve your stamina.

Bracers and vambraces are miscellaneous armor that covers the arms.

On the carved maoral table you see some brushed steel bracers, some brushed steel vambraces, some brushed steel bracers, some brushed steel bracers, some brushed steel bracers, some brushed steel vambraces, some brushed steel vambraces and some brushed steel vambraces.

some brushed steel vambraces accented with banded panther agate      800000

[Riverboat Taer, Dark Ring]
Sagging toward its broadside, a trickling seepage of river water constantly oozes through once austere modwir, leaving a semi-circular ring below loudly gnashing paddles. Like a dark reptilian womb, the only light in this tiny mat-laden enclave comes diffused from the crimson paper screen facing the center hall. A steel rack populated by dull katars and knuckle-blades resides against the starboard wall, while the remainder of the wide quadrate houses only an invariable swirl of slimy water that raises the stench of rotting mud. You also see a ghostly erithian monk.
Obvious exits: southwest, northwest

On the steel rack you see a vultite knuckle-blade, a vultite katar, a gornar knuckle-blade, a drakar katar, a rhimar knuckle-blade and a zorchar katar.

a zorchar katar                  100000      Brawling & OHE; Glyph

[Riverboat Taer, Infirmary]
Bereft of decoration, neatly folded blankets and primitive surgical tools sweep a shelf spanning the entire length of this dim cavernous hold. Permanently disabled with webs, grimy skylights terraced into the rippled ceiling lend the impression of undulation as the boat rocks constantly, raising the dank stench of rot. Beside one porthole, the screeching rivals a horde of vereri as serviceable pulleys thrust broken oars toward the higher side of the shore, scraping down mud and debris with each jab. You also see a ghostly erithian monk.
Obvious exits: southeast, southwest

On the long shelf you see a vultite troll-claw, a drakar troll-claw, a gornar troll-claw, a zorchar yierka-spur, a rhimar yierka-spur and a vultite yierka-spur.

a vultite yierka-spur            29000      Brawling

[Riverboat Taer, Sparring Ring]
Bright with blazing candlelight and natural illumination dithering in from outward-opening slats, this expansive chamber is wide and long enough to house a square of several giants. Numerous rolled bundles of cloth line the western wall, while the wood-paneled eastern front boasts an extensive rack of clawlike hand-to-hand weapons and makeshift sparring ring. A forceful oar system roils over the river continuously, working tirelessly though the riverboat remains stubbornly in place despite its diligence. You also see a steel rack with some stuff on it, a ghostly erithian monk and a woolen-backed white paper screen.
Obvious exits: northeast, southeast

On the steel rack you see a drakar tiger-claw, a gornar tiger-claw, a vultite tiger-claw, a zorchar slap-slasher, a vultite razorpaw and a rhimar razorpaw.

a pure white razorpaw with ice blue rhimar blades                 23000      Brawling

[Riverboat Taer, Cold Storage]
Stone slabs march in three straight lines down the center of this chilly cabin, while a procession of metal pegs protrudes starkly from the starboard palisade. Swaying on each buck of the ship's keel, the suspended steel vambraces and bracers deepen the thumping sound emanating from the window-sized opening leading to the riverbed, from whence the grey stench of muddy freshwater crabs steals in. You also see a water-stained moldy violet screen and a large placard.
Obvious exits: north

In the Common language, it reads:
Items on display here are intended for those experienced in thrown weapons. You must have trained in thrown weapons a minimum of 10 times to make use of the bracers and a minimum of 50 times to make use of the vambraces. The properties of the items are such that they will increase your skill at thrown weapons as well as one of your inherent characteristics. The items are differentiated as follows:

Those with panther agate will improve your agility.
Those with storm agate will improve your strength.
Those with blood agate will improve your constitution.
Those with nathala agate will improve your stamina.

It is difficult to see the black onyx clearly from this distance.

Vambraces and bracers are miscellaneous armor that covers the arms.

On the metal pegs you see some hammered steel vambraces, some hammered steel bracers, some hammered steel bracers, some hammered steel bracers, some hammered steel bracers, some hammered steel vambraces, some hammered steel vambraces and some hammered steel vambraces.

some hammered steel bracers adorned with panther agate             245000

[Riverboat Taer, Galley]
Steel bracers and vambraces haphazardly suspended from dust-laden racks shift noisily with each flux of the water outside. Faint trickles of incandescence streaming through gouges in one weak modwir plank flicker over a simple grill-like apparatus beneath the displays, sliding like apparitions through the pungent cloud of fish oil to inspect the blades. Beneath the slats, a metallic swooping churns noisily from staves protruding a round porthole opposite a pulley system of cranking wheels. You also see a tanik-framed pale cerulean screen and a large placard.
Obvious exits: north, south

In the Common language, it reads:
Items on display here are intended for those experienced in two weapon combat. You must have trained in two weapon combat a minimum of 10 times to make use of the bracers and a minimum of 50 times to make use of the vambraces.

Root Cellar - a decrepit wooden fence supporting a hanging gate (enter through the gate) (5)

2007

[Backyard]
A tall wooden fence encloses this small yard. Dry leaves in oranges, browns, and red cover most of the grass. Near the far side of the yard, a hinged wooden door leading to an underground storm cellar stands propped open.
Obvious paths: none

[A Rickety Ladder]
Splintering handrails have been attached to the door at the top of this moss-covered ladder. Sunlight bounces off strands of cobweb that cover virtually every unsturdy step, though the space is far too deep to make out any details of the cellar below. Roots from the surrounding trees and plants tunnel through cracks in the packed earth, groping for a hold on the ladder.
Obvious exits: up, down

[Root Cellar]
The floor of this damp room is hard, packed earth. Knotted wooden boards reinforce the walls, and a few ratty old blankets have been tossed on the floor. A row of clay vases lines the back wall, and a rickety ladder leads up out of the musty cellar. You also see a flower list tacked to the wall.
Obvious exits: none

In the Common language, it reads:
Rowynna has the following flowers available:

Buttercup, carnation, daffodil, daisy, dragonstalk, flamestalk, freesia, gardenia, iris, lily, magnolia, monkeyflower, moonflower, mournbloom, orchid, poppy, rose, sunflower, tulip, violet, zinnia, honeysuckle, crocus, bleeding-heart, amaranth, phlox, goldenrod, butterflyweed, jasmine, nightshade, heather, lilac, angelica, Imaera's Lace, plumeria, heliotrope, hibiscus, ginger blossom, cothinar flower, orange blossom, and snapdragon.

In the Common language, it reads:
The floral items in the vases are the only things around here that smell nice. Rowynna will be stopping in during the Festival to customize these items with various other flowers. She will use only one kind per floral arrangement, though she may have a scrap of ribbon to add.

In the clay vases you see a pristine gardenia nosegay, a bright yellow daffodil bouquet, a heather garland, a bold red carnation boutonniere, a braided jasmine corsage and a mauve orchid corsage.

Rozenwyn’s Recreations - a tiny shop surrounded on two sides by a tall ivy-covered stone wall (51)

2007

[Rozenwyn's Recreations, Front]
Diamonds of black and white onyx pattern the floor, surrounding a large black diamond at the center. Pale haon grey molding edges the walls along the floor and ceiling, barely contrasting with the puzzle pieces of slate set into the plaster expanse. Velvets and silks of deep red and dark amethyst drape to give the illusion of windows to this narrow, L-shaped shop.
Obvious exits: north, out

[Rozenwyn's Recreations, Center]
Racks of rosewood have been carefully mounted on slate and plaster walls, the rich hue of the wood a sanguine accent to the pale dusky hue of the stone. More curtains of burgundy velvet frame non-existent windows, trimmed elaborately with golden silk braiding. A small ring of candles sits upon a low altar of slate set upon the diamond-patterned black and white onyx floor. You also see a small ebonwood table with a pointed stick on it.
Obvious exits: east, south

Pinatas are 5000. Pointed sticks are 10.

On the rosewood racks you see an orange flame-shaped pinata, a blue moon-shaped pinata, a green serpent-shaped pinata, a yellow sun-shaped pinata, a purple aardvark pinata, a red rooster-shaped pinata, a grey storm cloud pinata, a white hobgoblin pinata, a brown bear-shaped pinata and a pink cat-shaped pinata.

[Rozenwyn's Recreations, Back]
Some light filters in from a pair of glaes diamond-paned doors propped open, allowing a light breeze and soft scent of flowers to waft in from the garden. Little more than a storeroom, assorted sealed boxes and crates are piled up along the walls, waiting for the day they will be opened and put on display.
Obvious paths: west

In the Common language, it reads:
Might we suggest that you let the person ahead of you finish battering their pinata before you start with yours, to avoid the mingling of treasures, and therein, disputes of what belongs to which."

Rozenwyn’s Regalia - a dark dimly lit shop with curtain-drawn windows (67)

2007

[Rozenwyn's Regalia, Entry]
Black and white onyx tiles swirl in an elliptical spiral design leading to back of the shop, near the opening to another room. Sheer panels of sanguine and amethyst silk drape from the ceiling and are tucked back to the walls with gold fasteners. Ebon candles emit a smoky tendril of soot and occasionally sputter as the flames catch a bit of condensation from the heat.
Obvious exits: north, out

[Rozenwyn's Regalia, Shop]
Garlands of garnet and amethyst entwined with shriveled mournblooms loop around the perimeter where the walls meet the ceiling. Rays of black and white onyx tiles splinter out in a sunburst across the floor, narrow at the start, then growing wide and overlapping at their finish. Plush fur rugs dyed dark purple and rich blood red are scattered here and there. You also see some musty faded satin pillows, a dusty leaded crystal display with some stuff on it and a splintering carved oak case with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: east, south

Items on display are 5000, neckworn and have purpose.

On the leaded crystal display you see a verdigrised copper neckchain, a twisted silver neckchain, a braided gold neckchain, a serpentine platinum neckchain, a silver filigree necklace, a copper linked chain necklace, a gold leaf motif necklace, a blackened silver mesh collar, a brushed gold mesh collar and a verdigrised copper mesh collar.

Rustic Overtones - a small ramshackle farmhouse (26)

2007

[Rustic Overtones]
Rough grey wooden walls surround a packed dirt floor covered with a colorful hand-tied rug. In spite of the unsophisticated appearance, the small shop has a cozy feel. Framed watercolors of wildflowers pepper the walls, adding a splash of brightness, and an intricately perforated black iron lantern hangs from the open beam ceiling. You also see a cloth-covered picnic table with some stuff on it and a row of star-carved shelves with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: east, out

On the picnic table you see a pale blue calico skirt, a soft lawn skirt, a blue gingham blouse, a poppy red batiste blouse, a cream cotton blouse, a knitted mint wool sweater, a light linen blouse, a tapered back-laced bodice, a thistle-hued cotton split skirt, a red and white gingham skirt, an eyelet lace bodice and a contoured olive suede corset.

This shop is filled with the light of candles from every table and shelf, as well as hanging from sconces and chandeliers.

Scents of Death - a windowless stone building (32)

2007

[Scents of Death, Parlor]
With nary a window to this tiny parlor, light comes only from a few flickering torches high upon the walls. The edges of a barred door show beneath a woven tapestry hanging from one wall, and a small widowwood door leads out the back. Atop a stack of ebonwood coffins, a candle illuminates a variety of scattered bottles and vials. Similar wares are found on a shelf above as well. A simple fireplace is the only other furnishing in the sparse parlor. You also see a heavy cypress door.
Obvious exits: none

Items on coffin are 50000.

Atop the coffin, a variety of containers vye for space with a small sign.

On the ebonwood coffins you see a leaded crystal flagon, a blackened vultite decanter, a jade green moonstone vessel, an onyx reliquary, an aged ivory ampulla, an aged darkened bone amphora, a tubular brass container, a polished granite urn, a crimson blown glass alembic, an icy blue porcelain vase and a small sign.

In the Common language, it reads:
Phials have a small sampling of my wares and are located on the ebonwood shelf. All other containers have approximately forty uses of extravagant and unique concoctions. Please READ each one to learn more of the scent. If you are looking for last year's scents, they are downstairs in my workroom. I will also be by occasionally to work on the containers and perhaps customize a scent or two for ones chosen. ~Danekas

2006, 2007

a scratched snowglobe:
The clear bubble contains a detailed scene in miniature. A large ebon gate leads into a festival area filled with wagons and tents. Tiny little skeleton bones are scattered along the main road which bends in a circle towards where a ghostly flower girl floats. A minute gnome is sitting in the bucket of what appears to be a catapult with others nearby gathered around a mini kobold with a pumpkin on its head. Groups of diminutive people of all races in autumn-hued festive attire mingle with others dressed in outlandish costumes. One small boy is looking into a teeny glass bubble which is cupped in the palm of his hand.

In the wood bin you see some stained leather gauntlets, a shabby leather wand belt, some threadbare spidersilk robes, a stained faewood runestaff, some battleworn brigandine armor, some mud-stained boots, a scuffed leather wrist sheath, a battered leather ankle sheath and a nicked steel knife.

Serendipity - a ruined stone tower (enter through a narrow archway) (42)

[A Ruined Tower, Serendipity]
The tessellated pattern of the tiled floor is barely visible beneath a layer of dust and a scattering of curling leaves. A shaft of pale sunlight ventures through the open doorway illuminating the circular chamber, providing enough light to faintly illuminate a cluttered worktable and the magnificently painted ceiling set with a icosikaipentagon-shaped pane of glass. Hanging upon the wall beside a warped shelf, is a threadbare tapestry. You also see a ghostly apprentice.
Obvious exits: none

On the warped shelf you see an ink-stained ivory parchment, a dusty sheet of white paper, a curled sheet of vellum, a nibbled piece of parchment, a tattered yellow papyrus, a black and gold feather quill, a silver-ribbed feather quill, a half-empty bottle of ink and a dusty bottle of black ink.

In the Common language, it reads:
Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you've found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for.

Under the unmade bed you see a shabby sewing bag and some mothballs.

In the sewing bag you see a black astrolabe pouch, a red astrolabe pouch, a green astrolabe pouch, a blue astrolabe pouch and a brown astrolabe pouch.

Shadeskink Sanctum

[Shadeskink Sanctum]
Tiny blue cobalt cages line the walls of the sanctum, their crystal-studded bars infused with a pale violet light. Prismatic reflections from the jewels cut through the lingering shadows of the chamber to reveal a circular dome overhead. Underfoot, a tattered carpet softens the granite tiles of the floor. You also see a gnarled black raffle table with some stuff on it and a dark blue stone doorway.
Obvious exits: none

In the blue cobalt cages you see an onyx shade-skink.

Twitching and shuddering at odd intervals, the tiny creature appears to be little more than a shadow lent feeble substance. Its indigo-cored form wavers like a candle's flame, but the shade-skink maintains a rough lizard shape augmented by odd, elongated limbs. Each of the six tendril-like legs spreads into a trio of tiny black talons. Twin pinpoints of golden luminescence shine from where the creature's eyes ought to be.

A chipped porcelain fountain stands alone in the center of this small, circular room.

A stick of vanilla incense burns atop a marble pedestal, permeating the room with its soothing, warm scent. The whitewashed floors creak quietly as customers peruse the offered wares. You also see a white-robed shopkeeper and a small sign.

Sieldra’s Neglected Garden - a vacant greenhouse (18)

[Sieldra's Rustic Greenhouse]
Scattered about the floor, a heavy layer of cedar mulch muffles the sound of footsteps. Raggedly pruned tiny trees arranged in various sizes of unglazed clay dishes adorn the rows of weathered maoral shelves. A warped table leans precariously, almost blocking the open door. Soft light filters through the shattered glass panels, casting ragged shadows on the uneven rows of straggling vines, dead plants and barren plant stakes.
Obvious exits: east, out

Items on the shelves are 20000.

On the maoral shelves you see a miniature haon tree, a clump of miniature aspen trees, a miniature modwir tree, a miniature woodland meadow, a miniature mountain scene and a miniature desert garden.

a miniature haon tree in a heavy stone bowl:
You see a single miniature haon tree in miniature perfection. The soft greyish purple bole is almost two hands around, straight and thick. It continues to a wide, lushly spreading canopy of elliptical almost luminous leaves. The miniature haon tree stands in its heavy stone bowl exuding timeless and solitary quiet. Exposed roots twine and hold the mossy soil, reaching out to the same circumference as its rounded canopy. Dark green, velvety moss covers the surrounding soil.

a clump of miniature aspen trees in a long porcelain tray:
You see a clump of miniature aspen trees with white trunks. Five slender trees stand familiarly close and light catches on the surfaces of the almost heart shaped leaves. Two trees lean at slight angles, the other three stand straight, all, reach upwards, white limbs inter-tangled, their leaves ready to flutter in any vagrant breeze. It is possible to see that they grow from one fallen tree, now almost overgrown with lichens and mosses.

a bonsai modwir tree in a mossy pottery dish:
You see the perpendicular shape of a miniature modwir tree. An air of stillness surrounds this tiny tree. The grey scales in the bark and deep vertical grooves of white sap seeping into a thick bole give the tree an appearance of age. The branches whorl around the thick trunk and arch upward into a canopy of fine fuzzy needles. Long green pinecones hang in the pale foliage. Heavy green moss covers the base of the tree and overgrows the edges of the pottery dish.

a miniature woodland meadow in a rough stone tray:
Inside the container rests a perfect miniature woodland meadow. A grove of miniature aspen and alder trees overhangs the wildflower flecked verge of a crystal clear woodland pond. A steeply banked stream meanders through the miniature woods and falls with a delicate chuckle over flat mossy stones into the crystal pond. Small gold and orange fish dart and feed in the translucent depths of the crystal clear pond.

a miniature mountain scene in a blue glazed bowl:
Cupped in the shallow confines of its container lies a perfect miniature mountain scene. Carefully chosen rocks have been placed together to resemble a sharply jagged mountain range. A primeval forest of spiky ephlox moss marches down the steep rubble slopes of these miniature mountains. On the pebbled skirts of the mountains stands a tiny shrine of rough grey stone.

a miniature desert garden in a pitted clay dish:
You see a desert in miniature. No greenery or moss spoils the perfection of this tiny desert scene. Inside the confines of its container, small stones become sun bleached boulders lying as if scattered by nature. A twisted and broken branch becomes the bleached stump of a huge tree standing alone in the sun blasted sand near a parched pebble strewn stream bed.

On the warped table you see a pair of broken shears, a forked dagger, a razor sharp skinning dagger and a curved pruning dagger.

[Sieldra's Storage Shed]
Rakes, scythes, and hoes dangle from pegs in the wall near the tool rack. The air here is humid but not oppressive. A corroded spade with a shattered handle rests on the work bench covered in cobwebs. Bits of broken clay and moldy seed from the rotting and split bags litter the uneven floor.
Obvious exits: north, west

On the tool rack you see a bent and rusted pitchfork, a rusted vultite machete and a chipped and rusted handaxe.

a chipped and rusted handaxe              99000     Edged

[Sieldra's Neglected Garden]
Plants that were at one time full of beauty and life now lay wilted and seem to exude an air of death. A long forgotten topiary is overrun with vines and hovering insects. A battered and rusty wheelbarrow leans to one side near an overturned crate. Red spores from the prolific black mushrooms fill the fetid air.
Obvious exits: south

Items on crate are 20000.

On the overturned crate you see a desert garden, a modwir tree, a mountain scene, a woodland meadow, a clump of aspen trees and a haon tree.

a miniature desert garden in a colorfully painted clay dish:
You see a desert in miniature. No greenery or moss spoils the perfection of this tiny desert scene. Inside the confines of its container, small stones become sun bleached boulders lying as if scattered by nature. A twisted and broken branch becomes the bleached stump of a huge tree standing alone in the sun blasted sand near a parched pebble strewn stream bed.

a miniature modwir tree in a dusty black clay dish:
You see the perpendicular shape of a miniature modwir tree. An air of stillness surrounds this tiny tree. The grey scales in the bark and deep vertical grooves of white sap seeping into a thick bole give the tree an appearance of age. The branches whorl around the thick trunk and arch upward into a canopy of fine fuzzy needles. Long green pinecones hang in the pale foliage. Heavy green moss covers the base of the tree and overgrows the edges of the pottery dish.

a clump of miniature aspen trees in a multicolored clay pot:
You see a clump of miniature aspen trees with white trunks. Five slender trees stand familiarly close and light catches on the surfaces of the almost heart shaped leaves. Two trees lean at slight angles, the other three stand straight, all, reach upwards, white limbs inter-tangled, their leaves ready to flutter in any vagrant breeze. It is possible to see that they grow from one fallen tree, now almost overgrown with lichens and mosses.

a miniature haon tree in a dull red clay bowl:
You see a single miniature haon tree in miniature perfection. The soft greyish purple bole is almost two hands around, straight and thick. It continues to a wide, lushly spreading canopy of elliptical almost luminous leaves. The miniature haon tree stands in its heavy stone bowl exuding timeless and solitary quiet. Exposed roots twine and hold the mossy soil, reaching out to the same circumference as its rounded canopy. Dark green, velvety moss covers the surrounding soil.

a miniature mountain scene in a slightly cracked glazed bowl:
Cupped in the shallow confines of its container lies a perfect miniature mountain scene. Carefully chosen rocks have been placed together to resemble a sharply jagged mountain range. A primeval forest of spiky ephlox moss marches down the steep rubble slopes of these miniature mountains. On the pebbled skirts of the mountains stands a tiny shrine of rough grey stone.

a miniature woodland meadow in a smooth grey pot:
Inside the container rests a perfect miniature woodland meadow. A grove of miniature aspen and alder trees overhangs the wildflower flecked verge of a crystal clear woodland pond. A steeply banked stream meanders through the miniature woods and falls with a delicate chuckle over flat mossy stones into the crystal pond. Small gold and orange fish dart and feed in the translucent depths of the crystal clear pond.

Silk Stalkings - an elegant crimson-trimmed building (35)

[Silk Stalkings, Foyer]
Hundreds of short beeswax candles have been strung from the ceiling in elegant hand-blown glass orbs to fully illuminate the room. The golden light spills onto the dark crimson damask walls, revealing a raised pattern of elegantly curled scrollwork woven throughout the fabric. The polished mahogany floor has been covered with a plush black panther rug, though a dark reddish-brown stain seems to leak out from one corner. A group of glass cases are set evenly apart across the rug against the farthest wall.

[Silk Stalkings, Show Room]
A single wrought iron candelabra rests in one corner of the room, causing the series of mannequins strewn about the area to appear as though they were conspiring with one another. Long swaths of dark pewter gray silk mask the true identity of the room's construction, but the occasional breeze from an open window on the westernmost side sends them billowing about, revealing long scratch marks bored into the mahogany wood. You also see a pair of double-curling staircases.

[Speil Manor, Workshop]
A myriad of mirrors, from full stands to the smaller hanging variety and even some of the hand-held ilk, crowd this workshop. Silvered glass has even been inlaid into the ceiling, resulting in thousands of reflections in every direction. Only a small area around a sturdy wooden table remains clear, the work surface covered with a moth-eaten woolen blanket. The heady fragrance of a woman's perfume hangs heavily in the stale air. You also see a large sign and a simple white door.
Obvious exits: none

In the Common language, it reads: For those lucky customers, I can coax my magical mirrors to say five special things to you, and only you. Because they are polite, my mirrors will always start off by saying, "My Lord So-and-So, ..." That part after that is what you tell me you want the mirror to say. I can help you if your brain has turned to mush.

Agate in your pocket, and to Gosaena you'll roam.
To cure your diseases always see Alabaster -
Give sobriety an Amethyst to avoid Disaster.

Sympathy and trust go to the aquamarine -

And prosperity and strength to adventurine.
If Beryl gives you weakness of spirit -
Then Alexandrite gives you the peace to bear it.

While Carbuncle is purely necromantic.
Chalcedony is all about mercy and kindness -
While Chrystoberyl is the foul spirit that binds us.

And Coral will protect you from the elements.
Coredelite is a weak watered dish-
But Deathstone is an ill-begotten wish.

Despanal will give you skill and power-
Yet, its Diamond that allows it to flower.
If Demons you fear then of Diopside beware-
So too of black Diopside of you despair.

Blue Dreamstone makes an understanding wish-

And Feystone speaks of only the foolish.
Emerald can offer you poison protection-
But Firestone is Diaster's Prediction.

Dark Garnet is the tool of deep Passions-
While blue Geode is an empathic distraction.
If mental prowess you seek, then try glimaerstone-
Find Heliodor to gain control of your own.

Brown Jade gives you the Arkatis Blessings-
But black Jasper is an unreliable assessing.

A gift of jet is a blessing of Shadow's Dance-

And Labradorite is protection from chance.

Lapis Lazuli reduces fever or body ache-
But always use malachite when forgiveness is at stake.

In Sapphire you'll find Niima's graceful elation-

And in moonstone a hidden secret spells revelation.

Morganite means a child is harmed-
But in obsidian with Onar you are armed.
Opal screams madness, and Pyrite claims False-
Quartz begs you to the shadows a waltz.

Use a black Pearl to dispel Sardonyx's troubled Spirits.

And blue Peridot absorbs anything near it.
Summon strength in Rhodochrosite-

And a Ruby means your heart is in sight.

A Sard gives a false sense of security-
While Shimmertine speaks of your Fragility.
Tiny sapphire eases a lonesome mind-

And violet Spinel will heal it in kind.

Tigerfang speaks of Transformation-

And white Starstone of Divination.
Sunstone is strength, but Topaz is cautious.

And pale to Tourmaline which makes you nauseous.

Find meaning in stones, she bade me to do-
But always use your heart to find the one that's true.
Her words I will pass down, in needle and thread.
But her memory, I beg you, keep in your heart and your head.

Dusky blue and aquamarine threads mingle to create a sea scape that is accented by golden brown sands and viridian sea grass. Woven into the center of the tapestry is the image of a pair of girls in white dressing gowns, their hair drawn back by dusky blue ribbons. They move on tip toes towards the glittering water's edge, their fingers entwined. Each child clasps a large periwinkle shell in their opposite hand. read third tape

Take It To The Grave - a two-story building (enter through wooden door) (37)

2007

[Take It To The Grave]
Floorboards stick up at odd angles, as if something is pushing them up from underneath. Candles in dusty sconces provide less than ample lighting, and only tiny motes of moonlight stream through the dirt-caked windows. Between the dim lighting, the splintering walls, and the disrepair to the room in general, the building is almost reminiscent of a cavern, and just over a granite-topped counter, the ceiling looks ready to fall in on itself. A creaky wooden door fills up the center of one wall.
Obvious exits: north

Items on and under the floorboards are 2500, not worn and have purpose.

On the fel floorboards you see a long dirt-smeared bone, a charred circle-shaped bone, a red-spotted split bone, a short cracked bone, a blue-tinted troll skull and a small blackened skull.

Under the fel floorboards you see a large finger bone, a large ivory half-skull and a small curved bone.

On the granite-topped counter you see a pair of mud-splattered boots, a rust-edged beaked axe, a torn pair of faded leather gloves, a wood-handled executioner's axe, a pair of thick canvas gloves, a curved bone-adorned dagger and a pair of mud-stained pants.

On the series of hooks you see a bone-handled pale green lantern, a squared dirt-smeared lantern, a tarnished silver lantern, a well-oiled black lantern and a rusty copper-topped lantern.

[Take It To The Grave, Workshop]
A long iron counter stretches from one end of the room to the other, its surface marred with dents and the marks of multiple rough scourings. Hanging from one stone wall is a series of tools. In one corner of the room, a fireplace is placed so that even the tiniest ember of flame will shed both light and color into the otherwise colorless area, while another corner boasts stacks of granite, marble, wood, and fieldstone. Leading to a dirt-laden yard, a tall doorway swings outward. You also see a pile of sticks.
Obvious exits: south

On the set of pegs you see a thick skull-crusher, a rowan-handled glaes beheading sword, a large sledgehammer, a slightly bent sheering sword, a grey-veined verdant hook-knife, a ruddy brown cleaver, a thin kidney dagger, a crimson-edged butcher knife, a thick-handled vaalorn bludgeon and a short-handled mortuary sword.

[Take It To The Grave, Yard]
Piles upon piles of dirt crowd this unkempt section of ground, where each tiny mountain differs in color, texture, and make-up. Lined up along the wall of the building, near the doorway, is a rack full of odds and ends. Dried out, though obviously tended to, shrubs line the rickety wooden fence.

A Taste of Truth - a gravel path leading into a thick line of fir trees (43)

[An Old Manor]
The large manor stands perched atop a modest hill rising from the center of a small grove of fir trees, separated from the bustle and sound of the streets below. Weaving up from between the thick line of conifers, a gravel path cuts across the surface of the hill, stopping at the foot of three short steps which lead to the manor's porch. You also see a fancifully carved oak sign set into the ground beside the path.
Obvious paths: none

The sign reads, "A Taste of Truth" followed by "Fine Teas, Biscuits and Assortments" just below, and finishes with "Since 4877" at its base. climb step

[A Taste of Truth, Foyer]
Walls of darkly lacquered mahogany enclose the large foyer, stretching up into the vaulted cathedral ceiling. Soft, flickering luminescence shines down from the large crystal and candle chandelier hanging above, wispy tendrils of scented smoke curling among the shifting beams of light. Wide arches, carved in elaborate floral and vine motifs, exit the room to the west and east. To the south, an arched door leads outside onto the establishment's porch. You also see a roped-off staircase leading to the manor's upper floors with a disheveled grey cat who appears to be asleep on it.
Obvious exits: east, west

[A Taste of Truth, Gifts]
Scattered candles cast a subdued glow over the large assortment of tea-related goods in this room. Pots, cups, and saucers fill the various carved oak shelves set along the rear wall of the shop. Beneath the shelves, a long glass-topped counter boasts a neat arrangement of display boxes of various size. A thick flower and leaf motif woolen rug spans the area between the counter and an inclined tea leaf case situated just below a large stained glass window. In a shadowed corner, a frost-lined icebox stands alone, a blanket of mist clinging to the air above it.
Obvious exits: west

You see some carved oak shelves. Looking at the shelves, you see a light oak shelf, a dark oak shelf and a pale oak shelf.

Once the tea has steeped, serve and enjoy!

The tin and jar are empty, unmarked containers for tea leaves.

Til Death - a windowless shake and shingle store with a distinct tilt to one side (20)

[Til Death, Beauty]
Soft black satin conceals the walls of the small room, splitting into a fabric-draped arch at the rear of the space. The ceiling is veiled in a web of iridescent black threads, their shimmering surface reflecting the light of the candleholders stationed near the entrance. Filament tendrils of silver curl downward to eye level from the cloak of shadowy fibers above, their twisted tips displaying an array of glistening rings.

Continuing in its dark theme, the shop narrows into a curved, fabric-swathed bottleneck that is lit by the flicker of candles. Drapes of ebon nearly conceal the arch leading back to the entrance. Silvery vines sprout over the soft, black walls, apparently anchoring the satin against them, while simultaneously offering a unique display for wares.

Sickly red and violet lights compete for dominance, the conflicting hues pouring over the satin-covered walls from indeterminable sources. Posed as though in the throes of agony, feminine wire mannequins line the room, their skeletal fingers stretched toward the ceiling or over their expressionless, metal faces. Strung from the ceiling on delicate black threads, rings dangle overhead, twinkling in the disturbing illumination.

[Tintarel's Shop, Parlor]
Natural linen curtains frame the windows on either side of this cramped, nearly square room. Just below the ceiling, a simple stenciled pattern of brown and green leaves contrasts with the stark white of the walls. Ill-assorted chairs are clustered in the corners of the room, pushed aside to make room for a pair of tables in the center, each groaning under the weight of bolts of various fabrics and finished leather.

Twiggery Wiggery - a crumbling stone building (57)

Wigs - 2006

[Twiggery Wiggery, Entry]
It appears that no one has cleaned or even attempted to organize this cramped room in living memory. Cobwebs obscure a pile of boxes in one corner, while a thick layer of dust makes it difficult to discern the contents of some battered cases lining the walls. A doorway stands open to the west, while a dimly lit hallway leads into the murk to the south. You also see a sagging oak door.

[Twiggery Wiggery, Side Room]
This room appears to have been the parlor of the house, though only a few sticks of furniture remain, draped in dusty white sheets. A single hat rack holds various wigs, and a few strands of loose hair are just visible over the top of a crate resting in one corner. You also see an open doorway.

[Twiggery Wiggery, Workshop]
Even smaller than the front room, this ramshackle space appears to have been tacked on to the main building as an ell. The ceiling sags precariously and has entirely collapsed in a far corner, allowing a dank breeze to stir the omnipresent dust and scraps of hair that litter the central workbench. The walls are covered with hundreds of hooks and hangers, each bearing hanks of variously hued hair or wigs in different stages of completion.
Obvious exits: north

On the workbench you see a cylindrical wooden canister.

A Two-Story House - a tall two-story house (44)

2007

[A Two-Story House, Front]
The front door opens into an area that is longer than it is wide, and a colorfully woven runner cuts a streak across the dark oak floor from the threshold to the hallway. Time-faded portraits line the walls, dim faces staring out from wood-framed canvases, while tarnished brass lamps flicker lazily beneath shades of soot-coated glass. Faintly, amber light beckons from the end of the shadowed hallway.
Obvious exits: north, out

[A Two-Story House, Back]
In the far corner of this small room is a wood-burning stove with a latched grate, beyond which smolder bright embers that fill the room with a soft amber glow. A vine-embossed pine green velvet couch, framed in dark-stained oak and boasting cushioned armrests of the same material, sits near the stove. Opposite the couch, a spiraled staircase rises into the ceiling and beyond, its railing cast in tarnished brass and each step covered in a near threadbare layer of carpeting.
Obvious exits: south

[A Two-Story House, Upstairs]
A long room opens up at the head of the stairs. Vibrant green silk curtains drape in a cascade from a brass rod capped in elaborate finales to frame the narrow window, tied back in cords of braided satin. In a far corner against the far wall, a two-story doll house sits on a white-painted table. From the exterior, the house seems a miniature in scale to this dwelling, its shape tall and narrow. Beneath the table, a basket of tiny doll house pieces are left abandoned and are intermixed with small figurines. You also see a brass-railed spiral staircase.
Obvious exits: none

Items on table are 20, not worn and have purpose.

In the wicker basket you see a miniature wooden toy table, a tiny carved oaken toy chair, a small birch human man figurine, a small ash human woman figurine, a small thanot human child figurine, a tiny intricate toy cradle, a wood and cloth toy bed, a dark green silk toy couch and a tiny twisted willow toy cat.

[A Two-Story House, Hidden Room]
A myriad of shelves line the walls of this candle-lit room, each laden with figurines whose eyes glisten with each errant stroke of wavering light. Against the back wall is a wide worktable, its surface uncluttered, but stocked with a variety of tools -- chisels, small hammers, paint brushes, and oil paints. Also on the table is an oval, silver-framed portrait. The stool that sits under the edge of the worktable is worn and darkened with age, and a well-worn suede apron rests discarded across the sea You also see a simple wooden door.
Obvious exits: none

Underground Laboratory - an underground hovel (9)

2007

[Underground]
The mouth of the passageway is flanked by heavy iron brackets anchored to the rough sandstone walls with massive bolts. Though plain themselves, the brackets hold shafts of wood which are carved with sigils, flowing one into another to create a design mystical in nature. Violet-tinged azure flames hover mere inches above the torches, the wood unmarred by the fire which seems to produce no hint of smoke or soot. Underfoot, the stone floor is smooth and immaculately kept. You also see a wrought iron pedestal with a velvet-lined case on it, a shadowed passage with steps leading upward through the western wall and a dark tunnel leading through the eastern wall. Obvious exits: north, northeast, southeast, south, southwest, northwest

On the wrought iron pedestal you see a velvet-lined case.

In the velvet-lined case you see a small wrought silver token. (free)

[Underground]
Blue-flamed torches are set high at intervals along the blocky sandstone walls, and the light dwindles before it reaches the peak of the vaulted ceiling, leaving deep shadows to hang overhead. Lengths of chain dangle along the back wall, outfitted with hooks that display a variety of masks. On the wall adjacent to the mask display is a long iron rack harboring a cache of cloaks.
Obvious exits: south

On the lengths of chain you see a featureless smooth ivory mask, a long white silk face mask, a long black silk face mask, a long red silk face mask, a slender red silk eye mask, a slender black linen eye mask, a masked grey leather cowl, a masked pale linen cowl and a masked black silk cowl.

[Underground]
Under the wintry light of the torches, a small workshop has been laid out in what seems an almost compulsively ordered fashion. Across the face of a well-varnished ebonwood table are a variety of lockpicks, arranged according to the rarity of their composition, while a small bin of scrap metal sits half-full off to one side. A hutch mounted on the wall above houses tools and other sundry items. On the opposite wall is a tall chest of drawers, atop which sits a casually discarded teacup. You also see a case of assorted lockpicks.

[Underground]
A score of niches have been carved into the sandstone blocks forming the far wall of this small chamber. Within them, a myriad of miscellany has been tucked away, likely having fallen victim to the adage out of sight and out of mind. Occupying the center of the floor is a sturdy maoral desk with ebonwood inlays along the edge and behind which is a leather-cushioned chair. An ink well and quill stand at the ready at the head of the desk, and a few sheets of parchment peek out from a half-opened drawer.
Obvious exits: northwest

In the niches you see a leather climbing harness, a curved cast iron grapnel and a large coil of silk rope.

[Underground, Lounge]
Centered on the wall opposite the entryway, a large sidebar entreats passersby to linger in this well-appointed refuge from the chilled underground passages beyond. All four corners are set with three-limbed candelabra, upon which are candles of ivory that blend nearly seamlessly with the pale sandstone walls behind them. Tiny azure flames dance above the wicks of the candles, shedding a wealth of illumination without marring the candle beneath. You also see a pile of large fluffy pillows of various autumnal colors.
Obvious exits: north

[Underground, Shrine]
Pale light filters in through the masked arch at the entrance of this small square room, reflecting off the polished stone blocks that form the floor and walls, lending the area a subdued glow. Several large, flat pillows lie scattered across the floor, oriented in a staggered pattern so that one is never directly behind another. Upon a slightly raised dais at the back of the room stands a stone statue with a small carven wood bowl at its feet issuing forth slender tendrils of smoke.
Obvious exits: none

[Underground]
Walls of smooth sandstone arc around to enclose this circular room. Save for a lone woolen rug at its center, this place is largely bare of decoration or furnishing. Suspended without any visible support, a flickering globe of azure flame casts dim illumination over the area, conjuring thick shadows behind the evenly spaced figures arranged along the curved walls.
Obvious exits: northeast

You see some evenly spaced figures. Looking at the figures, you see a priestess figure, a priest figure, a merchant figure, a mistress figure, a banker figure and a dame figure.

On the priestess figure you see a deep grey woolen cowl, a coarse brown wool habit, some dusky brown wool robes, a slender gold-chained girdle and a pair of lamb's wool slippers.

Vaguely humanoid figures stand sentry along the perimeter of this small room, each posed in the most formal of stances, square-shouldered and straight-backed. High above in the empty space at the peak of the vaulted ceiling, a free-floating flame hovers overhead, shedding wan silvery light. The armors fitted to each figure are paled a shade by the pallid cast of light, and the daggers encased in a glass-doored armoire seem as only ashen shadows of themselves.

Unrequited - a stone stairway (26)

[Unrequited, Doorway] Cramped in size, the small hallway is entirely built of grey stone. On one wall, a thick mistwood door is covered over with intricate carving. Opposite the door, the winding stone stairway leads upward, where faint sunlight streams down from its origin to dimly light the area. Obvious exits: none

[Unrequited, Oak Grove] Enclosed by walls of knotted mistwood stained a rich, reddish-brown hue, the garden space is crafted to accentuate the wide open area. Tall trees tower up above, their leafy crowns just barely brushing the high ceiling, and bushy shrubs are scattered amid thick grass and wild lilies. Leaning over both sides of a narrow path that meanders through a particularly fragrant stretch of gardenias and daisies, oak saplings create a tenuous bower.

[Unrequited, Bamboo Forest] Faint gurgling emanates from either side of a dirt path, its source a steady stream of water that falls down from the lacquered wooden sluices set in the walls down into a pair of narrow, rectangular pools. Thin huddles of bamboo soar up toward the shuttered sky, their verdant leaves sharply contrasting with the darker shade of the walls. Bleeding hearts and grass grow in colorful clumps, though a wide half moon-shaped area is bordered by a wide swathe of white moonflowers. You also see a raffle table with some stuff on it.

An Untidy Cottage - an untidy cottage (6)

[An Untidy Cottage]
At first glance this cottage appears to have been ransacked by a particularly untidy hoard. Mounds of laundry, wet and dry, are strewn across the floor. Toys and shoes tangle together in heaps as dog hair floats through the air, sticking to the dirty dishes on the grimy wooden table. This same wooden table bears a small scribbled note, which hints the domestic chaos might not be the result of pillage or invasion. You also see an open door and a steep staircase.

[Untidy Cottage, Ample Attic]
Tucked beneath the sloped eves of the cottage's attic is a neat little shop. Below a pen and ink notice a long narrow table, gleaming with lemon oil, holds a collection of hats in round boxes. Rows of men's and women's gloves are laid out neatly on a sideboard. Clothing hangs from the polished beams in orderly rows. Pots of pink geraniums grace a brightly painted bench. The aroma of gingerbread and hot cider wafts from the brass and iron woodstove. You also see a brightly painted green door with a stenciled sign on it and a steep staircase.

A Water-logged Haystack Shed - a water-logged haystack shed (2)

[A Water-logged Haystack Shed]
Supported by exposed beams, this shack is the forgotten remains of sloppy craftsmanship. Enormous knots, dark and rotting, riddle the uneven walls near the front of the door, where varnish was haphazardly applied, and a putrid green carpet of moss clings to the creaking floorboards beneath a moldy covering of straw. Drops of water drip from the high ceiling and stain the dank walls near the far end, where the wood is severely bloated. You also see an upturned cracked oak crate with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: out

Items sold here are 15250 and modify hair feature.

On the carpet of moss you see a clump of moist white sand, some speckled blue eggshells, a cluster of sticky brown moss, a pile of twigs and dried loam, a pile of dried autumn leaves and a handful of nasty yellow straw.

In the covering of straw you see a handful of sugar cookie crumbs, a length of knotted silver wire, a plethora of silvery metal shavings, a frayed length of hemp rope, several thin strands of red yarn and a plethora of steely black fletchettes.

On the cracked oak crate you see some water-logged sticks, some broken wire lockpicks, a handful of itsy bitsy pebbles, a trio of sanguine mirror shards and some dirty glass shards.

West Sunset Boutique - a neatly appointed dress shop on the corner (49

2006 [West Sunset Boutique]
The mustiness of decay permeates this antiquated clothing shop. Elegantly attired mannequins, one attired in azure and the other in vivid crimson, gaze sightlessly out twin bay windows overlooking the West Sunset Street, framed in swaths of moldering velvet drapery. Racks of clothing and an armoire line the dark paneled walls and a multi-paned glass door opens out onto the street.

A large bay window looks over the side street and heavy velvet drapes trim the display, accentuating ivory and ebony garbed mannequins that beckon to passersby, one with a faded hand raised as if in greeting.

Fine lines of dark gold stripe the pale silk-covered walls and glimmer in the warm flickering of oil lamps.

Wood You - a weathered wooden cottage (59)

[Wood You, Parlor]
Smooth pale wooden planks form the walls of this smallish room, their uniform hue creating a stark contrast with the vividly-colored paintings which adorn them. The floor, covered for the most part with a ratty bamboo mat, appears uneven throughout, giving the impression of long-standing neglect.

Small mounds of sawdust and wood shavings coat the ground, effectively establishing a makeshift cushion for those who trudge through this room.

The Wound Wound - a modest stone cottage (16)

2006

[The Wound Wound, Medical Supply]
A conservative hand managed the decor of this small cottage, the fact evidenced in everything from the window-hangings to the furniture. Linen curtains edged in simple lace cover the half-moon window on the far wall, while a simple oak door faces it on the opposing wall. The space in between is occupied by a shallow reed-woven basket and a tiered shelf of oak and iron. You also see a small parchment sign and a piece of parchment fixed to the edge of the basket.
Obvious exits: none

In the Common language, it reads:

~ Welcome to The Wound Wound, The Finest Bandaging Supplies ~

When administering first aid to yourself, the bandages should be PULLed tight to stem the flow of blood. If the bindings seem too loose, RUB the area to shift the bandage and adjust the fit. Make sure to check your wound from time to time. While TAPping the area will surely give you a measure of the pain, you may want to peek at it as well.

The cost of some of the bandages is greater as they are a little more elaborate than others.

In the Common language, it reads:

My selection of eyepatches is highly functional for those in need (and even those that aren't). You'll find that a simple PULL or discreet RUB of the eyepatch will settle it appropriately, while a TAP of its edge may betray your more seedy nature. WINKing while wearing an eyepatch is not recommended for those trying to play a con.

In the reed-woven basket you see a woven straw eyepatch, a scarlet crushed velvet eyepatch, a matte black leather eyepatch, a satin-edged indigo silk eyepatch and an ivory suede ebon-stitched eyepatch.

Yares’ Emporium - a dilapidated cottage (2)

This small room is empty, except for a set of menacing bronze hooks that hold several weapons for display and sale. A lone rusty sconce provides the only illumination, creating long dancing shadows on the otherwise bare walls.
Obvious exits: northeast, northwest, out

[Yares' Emporium]
A heavily scarred bench dominates most of the room, its massive legs providing an assuredly steady work surface. Several broken shafts crafted from a variety of hardwoods lay on one side of room, obviously rejected by the artisan and now more suited for kindling than anything else. You also see a tarnished bronze stand with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: southwest

On the bronze stand you see a mesille-handled pill, a weathered faenor pilum, a vultite military pick, a broad-bladed voulge, a sigil-etched dark imflass javelin and a glaes flamberge.

Bits of metal litter the compacted earth floor, most of them now incrusted into it after a multitude of feet have walked over them. Still, they glint and beckon from their mottled soil canvas like miniature ore deposits now forgotten. You also see a tall bronze rack with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: southeast

On the bronze rack you see an opaque glaes mattock, a sharply honed greatsword, a vaalorn pitchfork, a gleaming mithglin boar spear and a tapered blade naginata.

Ye Olde Herbalist - an old faded green cottage (4)

2006

[Ye Olde Herbalist]
The look of this little front room is far from gloomy, if you look beyond the dust and cobwebs. There are several chairs sitting in a circle, with a small ironwood tea table in the middle. In one corner is a tall pole that holds three large white orbs, each giving off a soft glow that showers the room in light. In another corner is an ironwood coat rack with an ancient mirror attached. You also see a green door carved with leaves and acorns, a low wooden table with some stuff on it and some dusty rafters with some stuff on it.

[Ye Olde Herbalist]
This room is grand in scale compared to the tiny entrance room. On the far wall, there is a huge fireplace made of large blue and green-hued river stones. On either side of the fireplace are large windows, which are surprisingly intact. The amount of dirt and grime on the windows makes it look as if the day is permanently gloomy outside. You also see a dusty wooden table with some stuff on it and some dusty rafters with some stuff on it.

Zephyr - a pale mistwood and stone structure (31)

[Zephyr, Entry]
The opening room is little more than a blank stone and wood canvas. A triad of shadowed hallways split off from the bare mistwood walls, each in a distinct direction. Rising from the middle of the marbled stone floor, a tapered ivory crystal obelisk serves as the only hint of decoration. You also see a pale rock archway.
Obvious exits: north, east, west

In the Common language, it reads:

Ode to the land Here you will see Finer than all is the air that we breathe

A zephyr

[Zephyr, East Hall]
The wan room is brightened by gold sunbeams that flow through a high rectangular window, falling across a glass-inset apothecary cabinet just below. A carved ivory ledge showing a line of vividly colored bottles spans an entire side wall, faintly twinkling in the remnants of light. Opposite the entryway, an ora-handled mistwood chest sits in plain sight.
