Shop Layout


Image
Ale'Ephirum is from an ancient dialect of Vallenor. In the common tongue it can be loosely translated several ways, including 'the old ways', 'what was forgotten', and 'what is lost'. The shop is located in the Plaza of Jeweled Arches, down one of the side streets near the center of the plaza. One could almost miss it were it not for the sign that overhangs the street indicating that there is a shop present at the location. The entrance of the shop is nondescript, simple wood of a dark color that matches the buildings around it. The entryway seems cramped and leads straight to a desk where Lyra often sits. The size of the shop is deceiving, for as one turns the sharp corner to the right the shop opens up into an elongated hallway that is lined with shelves. Books, scrolls parchment, and even ink can be found on the shelves, the scrolls often within square slots designed to hold them, and the books only partially organized. Those who wish can browse the shelves, and select books and scrolls to examine using small tables or pedestals along the hallway designed for the purpose.

A set of steps near the desk leads up to the living courters where Lyra has made her home, while a door on the back left wall of the hallway of scrolls leads to the back workshop. A large worktable rests and shelves cover nearly every inch of wall space. Here is a wider collection of parchment and ink types, and this is where Lyra keeps most of her stored supplies for Scrivening. Near the back wall of this workshop is a plain wooden door that opens to a set of finely polished stairs that lead down into the basement.

The stairs lead down into the large magical laboratory. Several shelves of various pieces of equipment can be found here, and a large wooden table at the center serves as the primary location for Lyra's research. To the right of the stairs, the laboratory continues inward, opening into a 2nd lab designed specially for potions and alchemy experiments. Chests of ingredients, shelves of glassware and equipment fill this space, and every niche of wall, ceiling, and floor of both labs are covered with glyphs and markings crafted specifically by Lyra for the purpose of containment, and other features.

To the left of the stairs is one final doorway which opens into a large storage space. Glyphs and pictographs line the walls of this area as well, but there is currently no equipment here.

Hi there Lyra!

Your total calculations for the base wage is a bit off but that's an easy fix!

Base Income: World Mage (10 gp)
Skill Bonus- Journeyman Scrivening

10 gp x 1.5 (Apprentice Scrivening) = 15 gp /day
15 gp x 2 (Journeyman Scrivening) = 30 gp /day

Creativity Bonus: +2% for offering a unique take on providing broad spectrum Scrivening services.

Lyra's business is rather niche in that it caters specifically to individuals with a vested interest in only magical services. Might I advise you broaden that spectrum a bit? As an example, the Skyforge shop which is also a magic item shop, doesn't make that its sole focus.

Skyforge offers the following:
-Melee Weaponry
-Armor
-Blacksmithing Tools
-Keys
-Axes (Tools)
-Hammers and Mallets
-Jewelry and Gemcutting
-Repair Services
-Enchanting Services

Just as a start. The fact that all of these services can be augmented by Runeforging is available but not the sole proprietary function of the shop. It is an added benefit. The choice is ultimately up to you. You are free to accept the aforementioned bonus or feel free to contact me and we can work together to broaden it if you so desire.

Lyra's loan would be handled by the Central Bank of Kalzasi.
