Perched atop a gentle hill in Harmonia Heights, Arcana Obscura is shrouded in an aura of mystery and allure. Founded in 4760 by the illustrious Magister Rine Ni'Veren, an elven sorceress of remarkable talent and enigmatic origins, the shop has catered to the elite and discerning for centuries.

Architecture

The manor housing Arcana Obscura is a masterpiece of gothic elegance. Constructed from dark gray stone, its exterior features intricate carvings of celestial patterns and arcane sigils. Tall spires reach toward the sky, and wrought-iron balconies offer sweeping views of Ever-Stone below. The front gate, crafted from black iron and adorned with twisting ivy and silver filigree, opens only upon invitation or approval.
The grounds are meticulously maintained, with manicured gardens featuring rare and magical flora. At night, ethereal lights dance along the pathways, and whispers of enchantments can be heard by those attuned to magic.
