The Raven's Quill
The Raven's Quill is the newly constructed store for all things magical in Malmos, the previous arcane shops were unfortunately destroyed or ransacked during the Kasarian War and as such this new brand is enjoying the infamy of being the first of its kind to open its doors and garner attention in the aftermath.
Located in the merchant district of the town in one of the new builds, this location has been among the first to upgrade from a stall on the street to a full fledged building, its proprietor - Arannis Qualanthri - has already begun making a modest living due to the eagerness of arcane trade.
Purpose / Function
This store specialises in the selling the buying magical items, ranging from enchanted weapons and armour to spell scrolls and magic rings. Always at a reasonable price.
Architecture
The store is a functional two story semi-detached building, constructed in the usual style of the Rune Keepers (white stone, exposed oak beams, gabled rooftops, diamond cut windows), however it has been additionally decorated with ornate golden filigree along many of the spandrels and the corners of windows and doors to create a more fanciful and wealthy appearance which might better attract custom.
A delicate and well crafted sign hangs from above the door which introduces the name of the store "The Raven's Quill" with the emblem of the store representing an open winged raven clutching a sealed scroll.
The interior of the building is very clean and tidy, with exposed oak beams and flooring supported by numerous bookcases and shelving to store arcane tomes; scrolls and items of enchanted natures of varying rarities. The ground floor is entirely dedicated to the shop with a number of lavish paintings depicting arcane runes and a well crafted oak counter and till behind which the store owner, Arannis, stands and does business.
The second floor of the building is off limits to customers and is the residential area where Arannis lives when not working.
Defenses
Being a store filled with magical items, one can assume there are various wards and glyphs surrounding the place in case of threats.
History
There were formally a number of arcane stores in "Tor Malmo" prior to the war, however they were all either destroyed by unholy dragon fire or looted by raiders. In the aftermath of the war, many shopping stalls opened in the rebuilt streets of the former Merchant District and began making something of a living again, among them was the prototype of the Raven's Quill.
Proving popular with those wishing to learn to once again defend themselves from future threats, the owner of the establishment was able to put enough coin together to order the construction of one of the first solid shop fronts in the district, now open for business, it appears to be doing very well for itself.
