Snowcrest Token Underground

## Accessible Via

Sliding bookshelf in Snowcrest Library

The **Snowcrest Token Underground**, also known as the **Enchanting Underground**, was a token shop located deep beneath Snowcrest during Dragonhollow's Fourth Era.

It was a luxury counterpart to the Summergate Token Underground with high-end items that could not be obtained anywhere else at the time.

# Description

The entrance to the Snowcrest Token Underground was hidden behind a bookshelf in the south wing of the Snowcrest Library.

Though identical to the rest of the library, when interacted with this bookshelf would transmit a redstone signal and the message *"You hear the muffled click of a switch!"*, revealing a hidden ladder for only a few seconds. At the bottom was an gloomy subterranean cavern carved from the ice.

Visitors entered the shop upon a platform of sea lanterns which provided the Underground's source of light. While it appeared that leaving the platform would cause one to fall to their death among the sharp stalagmites below, it was possible to walk out onto an invisible floor, held aloft by the remarkable magic imbued by Eris herself.

Item kiosks were mounted on the cavern's stalactites and stalagmites. Unlike all other known token shops, the Snowcrest Underground did not contain a token exchange where varying denominations could be combined and broken down nor an ender chest for retrieving tokens and storing purchases

A colony of bats lived in the ice cavern and could often be heard chattering at shoppers.

# History

Acey announced the restoration of her ancient town of Snowcrest and the brand new Snowcrest Token Underground on 4E:135, but according to *Gloombringer's Grimoire*, the subterranean cavern long predated the token shop and once served as the dragon lair of both Adelind and Mesonyx.

The Underground served as a luxury counterpart to the Summergate Token Underground, selling strictly high-end items including Snowcrest Spawner eggs, overpowered enchantments via the Enchanting Tome, and the unique Snowcrest Sword of Ice.

Business was slow in the Underground's early days because potential customers first had to complete the Search for Snowcrest quest, obtain the rank of Explorer, and then discover the secret entrance. But once an airship route from Summergate to Snowcrest opened up on 4E:145

Dolphin was the first resident to purchase a spawn egg and craft a Snowcrest Spawner, which he used to construct an ender pearl farm at Dolphin Cove with the assistance of Retro. Retro himself later bought a spawn egg to assemble a guardian farm at 420 North Road.

After Sensei and Dolphin reported problems with the special enchantments available at the Summergate Token Underground, the Archpriest of Eris HyperSilence solved the problem by directing customers to the Snowcrest Token Underground, making it the exclusive source of advanced enchantments and earning it the *Enchanting Underground* nickname.

On 4E:147, Nut and Tox discovered a mysterious hole in the magical force that allowed shoppers to levitate through the center of the Underground, using it to trick Rocco into entrapping himself in the dark depths below. Acey rescued him and repaired the hole.

When the airships were grounded due to mechanical failures on 4E:186, traffic to the Underground ground to a halt for 181 days until they were eventually fixed and the transportation route between Summergate and Snowcrest was restored.

Despite the chaos that befell the area during the Fall of Summer on 4E:412, Snowcrest was protected by sacred seals from Eris herself and therefore the Underground remained intact and operational. On 4E:417 the last airships departed for the Badlands and the city was abandoned. It was unknown if the seals were strong enough to stave off the sinister power of the Black Claim indefinitely.

# Behind the Scenes

*The following is out-of-universe information about the real world Dragonhollow.*

The secret passage to the Snowcrest Token Underground worked through the Craftbook mod by capturing the player's click on the bookshelf and sending a signal to the compact redstone mechanism that opened the piston door.

Barrier blocks—which could not be seen by regular players—were used to create the invisible floor of the shop.
