Wyrmworks
The Wyrmworks is a shop in Silverymoon that specializes in dragon parts and maps related to dragon locations and lairs. The store is located on Many Cats Lane in the Northbank section of the city.
Purpose / Function
The Wyrmworks sells dragon fangs, talons, skin, scales, tails, bones, organs, eyes (preserved in jars), wings, blood, and anything else (including victim remains) that can be found in a dragon lair or has been touched by a dragon. Most of the rare and expensive items are kept in the back rooms and are only brought out upon request.
The shop's iconic Old Roaring Rage statue and the Thaurongol sculpture are not for sale, but small replicas of them crafted by other local dwarven smiths in various metals are available for purchase.
There were no price tags on any of the merchandise in the Wyrmworks; all sales were negotiated by haggling. The owners (both grizzled old former adventurers) had no reservations about raising prices on people they didn't like or believed could become a danger to themselves or society, especially Red Wizards or agents of the Arcane Brotherhood, but it was usually supply and demand that guided the haggling.
This shop also purchased dragon bits from adventurers, typically paying sixty percent of what they expected to sell the item for, but the price could vary from fifty to seventy-five percent depending on supply and demand.
Sensory & Appearance
The owners, Roryk and Delgrath, are almost fanatical about dragons and loved to hear any news about sightings, encounters, or all-out campaigns involving dragons, and have their own stories to tell anyone who is interested. They keep track of any reports about lair occupancy or active hunting grounds in the region.
Customers in the shop are never left alone to browse by themselves; there is always at least one staff member present in the showroom. If a request is made for something that is kept in the back room, more staff members are summoned by ringing a handbell and asked to fetch the item.
Architecture
The building is almost four stories tall because the windowless ground-floor shop area has a vaulted dome for a ceiling. Above this are two more stories that have walk-out balconies and bay windows. The exterior is made of stone and has slate roofs. Off to the left side is an attached workshop. A large sign, ornately carved like a coiled dragon, hangs out front advertising "The Wyrmworks."
