Edgar's Emporium

Edgar's Emporium is an arcane supplies store located in Redbloom.

## Description

Commissioned and constructed by Edgar Gardet after he and his newly-married wife Edna Gardet sought somewhere to settle down in the city, Edgar's Emporium was constructed attached directly to their cottage, an extension on the thatched roof and timbers with a large set of glass windows to display stock to passing students. Having settled in the region of the settlement home to many of the faculty staff and students, this prime location proved quickly popular for its convenience and value for money, and so the Emporium became a household name to many students. Cabinets, tables and stands dotted through the Emporium displayed the wares, something largely unchanged to this day, although the store no longer supplies potions, on account of the lack of alchemical prowess of the current owners.

Beyond the Emporium was the family home maintained by the Gardets, a simple affair with a large open plan-style kitchen with hearth fire, dining table and numerous cabinets and shelves for storage, all of which were decorated with trinkets by Edna. Following Edgar's passing, a stone headstone-esque tablet was mounted above the fire place, inscribed with his name and the epitaph *"Loved by Many, Beloved by his Treasured Few"*. Elsewhere was a study - at one time used by Edgar preparing his lectures and Edna to engage in her herbal crafts, as well as a master bedroom and a closet that was later converted into a bedroom for Ashewan and Gwyneth, with countless cat shelves dotted throughout for the latter, and a modest but sturdy bed constructed by former. Outside was a herbalism garden maintained by Edna, since replanted with food crops and a small apple tree.

## Recent History

When purchased by Genovefa and Jahinnen, the cottage behind the Emporium had sustained some damage, with sustained scorch marks on the timber floors trailing from the fire place to the main bedroom, which was entirely incinerated by the blaze. Genovefa reported that locals had ruled the occurrence as a likely arson attack, with some reports placing a group of three or four near the cottage at the time of the fire - although in the centre of a student hub in a city with a raucous nightlife, such occurrences were not uncommon. An investigator from the Crimson College did note a fading aura of both *Abjuration* and *Evocation* magic, but once again concluded that its source was nondescript, given the arcane nature of much of the shop's stock and the surrounding buildings and city proper. Regardless, a conclusion that the building was safe to live in was reached, prompting its purchase by the young couple in 130WD.

Gen and Jahn have managed the Emporium since, residing in the cottage. Having renovated the master bedroom, the study has since come to be used by Jahinnen for his cartography efforts, while, beyond a few new passes of paint here and there, the Emporium itself is much as it had been for the past decades. Shortly after the purchase of the Emporium and cottage, the pair were visited by a chandler called Vedrana, claiming to be an old friend of the Gardets. Seeing their efforts to renovate, Vedrana offered to rehome their prior belongings, spending the day helping them to clear the cottage of much of its prior contents - much to Ashewan and Gwyneth's despair when they then visited a few years later.
