[War and Craft, Sitting Room]
This moderately large tent reeks of sulfur and incense. Heat from two large burning braziers creates a comfortably warm atmosphere, and a plush rug covers the scuffed dirt underfoot. Wooden boxes litter the ground, heaped with an assortment of crumpled papers and dusty trinkets. Set opposite the exit flap is a heavy damask curtain, partitioning the center of the tent. You also see an oval shield, a long oak bench with some stuff on it, and some black leather armchairs.
Obvious exits: northeast, northwest.


On the boxes you see a pair of worn leather traveler's boots stained with mud, a scorched platinum ring engraved with the image of a burning tower, a scorched steel ring engraved with the image of a fireball, a scorched copper ring engraved with the crest of the Warrior Mage guild, a scorched brass ring engraved with the image of a swooping owl, a scorched iron ring engraved with the image of a lightning bolt, a long serrated dagger with a damascened blade, a sheer black silk shirt adorned with onyx buttons and a golden Warrior Mage statuette.

On the oak bench you see a horribly warped bastard sword with a jagged chipped blade, a rusty bastard sword with a loose hilt, a blackened bastard sword with a soot-covered hilt and a carefully inked notecard.

Under the oak bench you see a bottle of Elothean aventena.

A carefully inked notecard reads: These are a few of my early experiments forging weapons with elemental magic. While they have no magical properties, despite appearances they are indeed functional. No refunds!


>Northeast:

[War and Craft, Warriors' Weaponry]
Squeezed tightly against the curved wall of the tent, this corner has been set aside for martial pursuits. The heat is oppressive and the air is redolent of well-oiled leather and steel, but a gaethzen globe hanging overhead ensures that wares are illuminated clearly for the convenience of patrons. A sturdy metal rack sags beneath the weight of the weapons on display. You also see a slender glass pedestal with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: north, southwest.


On the metal rack you see a curved steel scimitar with the mantra of the Warrior Mage guild etched into the silvered blade, a steel-banded walnut staff with a fire-blackened finish, a heavy ash-handled maul with a fireball-shaped steel head, a polished steel mace with a gnarled ebonwood handle wrapped in crimson leather, a polished steel bola with a knotted blue spidersilk cord, a blackened twisted-hilt claymore engraved along the blade with ruby-inlaid flames, a slender rosewood longbow carved with a sinuous dragon above the leather-wrapped grip, a midnight black crossbow engraved with the image of lightning bolts along the stock, a broad curved falchion engraved with intricate elemental symbols, a steel warrior's broadsword with a leather-wrapped hilt embossed with the crest of the Warrior Mage guild, an exquisitely balanced rapier with a gold lacquered rosewood handle covered in triskele crests, an iron-plated warhammer with a rosewood handle stained reddish-brown and a narrow-bladed steel halberd with a carved applewood haft.

On the glass pedestal you see a short narrow-bladed halberd with a cambrinth-inlaid ironwood shaft, a steel-capped ironwood quarter staff carved with multiple cambrinth-inlaid symbols, a double-headed warhammer with spiraling cambrinth inlay along the handle, a black walnut gut-stringed crossbow with an engraved cambrinth-inlaid stock, a triple-fullered steel broadsword with a cambrinth-inlaid hilt, a gracefully curved scimitar with a pair of cambrinth wings set in the guard, a smooth silver-trimmed ebonwood longbow with a cambrinth-studded grip, a soot-dusted jagged claymore with a cambrinth fireball pommel, an engraved silverwillow-shafted maul with a cambrinth-studded steel head, a ring-hilted sword rapier with a twisted bone and cambrinth grip, a heavy steel-shafted spiked mace with a leather-wrapped handle bordered with cambrinth, a gleaming steel-plated bola with cambrinth beads woven into the cord and a VERY PROMINENT SIGN.

A VERY PROMINENT SIGN reads:
Through painstaking effort I have obtained a modest selection of cambrinth-enhanced weapons. They have been masterfully wrought to retain their original balance and heft. I do not know how much mana they may be charged with, so purchase at your own risk!


>North:

[War and Craft, Adepts' Armor]
Neatly tucked away in a dark corner of the tent, this alcove is dedicated to protective gear with a distinctly arcane theme. A ring of tall armor stands, each painted a different color, provides a circular centerpiece. Shields of all sizes and shapes hang from straps secured to the tent wall.
Obvious exits: south, west, northwest.


On the tent wall you see a small steel shield adorned around the rim with platinum filigree, a square iron shield adorned with acid-etched steel plates, a small pearl-studded ironwood shield with a leather-wrapped handle, a small polished steel shield engraved with a hunting wolf, an engraved iron shield with a studded steel rim, a reinforced small shield emblazoned with an owl in flight, a small reinforced ironwood shield riveted with polished silver studs, a reinforced bronze shield with iron rivets set around the rim, a silvery ironwood shield reinforced with thick iron strips and a gold-inlaid reinforced ironwood shield.

>West:

[War and Craft, Mystical Magery]
A faint, almost subliminal tingle awakens the senses to a hidden power coursing through this area. An odd assortment of crystals, focusing apparatus, and shimmering objects send brilliant refractions across the plush rug that covers the ground. A tall supporting pole, hung with wares suspended from chains, rises from the ground to lift the crest of the tent far above. You also see a wicker basket and a low table with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: north, east, west.


On the supporting pole you see a small notecard, a crimson cape cut from fine silk and embroidered with leaping red-gold flames, a square of fine blue-white gauze trimmed with tiny blue glass beads, a small iridescent glass bauble refracting a rainbow of colors, a spiny golden sphere decorated with silver wire, a silver-tipped gryphon feather decorated with intricate scrollwork and a pair of sturdy grey trollskin boots trimmed with a dark blue fringe.

An elegantly penned sign reads:
"These represent a small collection of precious items I have personally enhanced with decorative cambrinth stones."

In the velvet-lined tray you see a set of gem-encrusted platinum dragons set with sparkling cambrinth teardrops, a set of sapphire-studded cambrinth swords, a set of twisted ironwood wands tipped with pear-shaped cambrinth stones, a set of burnished gold spheres set with flame-shaped cambrinth stones, a set of polished silver lightning bolts tipped with cambrinth, a set of crimson-hued fireballs trailing carved cambrinth flames, a set of shapeless bronze talismans studded evenly with small cambrinth stones, a set of tiny pewter shields emblazoned with the cambrinth-studded crest of the Warrior Mage guild, a set of wide etched silver rings studded with cambrinth and a set of tiny silver tarts embedded with round cambrinth stones.

In the wicker basket you see a fist-sized cambrinth mountain with streams of ruby lava flowing down the sides, a realistic-looking heap of cambrinth dung, a folded notecard, a pile of cambrinth fingernail clippings that appear slightly chewed, a tiny dark green cambrinth inchworm with dozens of stubby legs, a calloused pewter foot with long cambrinth toenails, a crooked pewter hand with long cambrinth fingernails, a reclining cambrinth feline missing its tail and head and a tiny cambrinth bean polished to a brilliant shine.


>North:

[War and Craft, Apprentices' Alcove]
Tucked away in the farthest corner of the tent, this area gives the impression of being unfinished. Even the musty smell that permeates every other part of the tent is notably missing. Placards are scattered around the walls, providing sage advice for warrior mages just starting their careers. You also see a small three-legged table with some stuff on it, a short glass dais with some stuff on it, and a small velvet-lined basket.
Obvious exits: southeast, south, southwest.


A golden placard reads:
The pointy end goes in your enemy.
A silver placard reads:
Prepare your spell BEFORE you cast it.
A bronze placard reads:
Do not target yourself with your own spell.
A platinum placard reads:
Armor protects you when it is worn on your body, not carried in your backpack.

On the three-legged table you see a grey gerbil-shaped talisman pouch with cambrinth-tipped drawstrings, a black panther-shaped talisman pouch with cambrinth-tipped drawstrings, a brown bear-shaped talisman pouch with cambrinth-tipped drawstrings, a striped cat-shaped talisman pouch with cambrinth-tipped drawstrings and a green lizard-shaped talisman pouch with cambrinth-tipped drawstrings.

On the glass dais you see a VERY PROMINENT SIGN, a darkened steel carving knife with a cambrinth-studded ironwood grip, a slender carving knife with a reclining cambrinth cat set into the hilt, a bone-hilted carving knife with a tiny talisman-shaped cambrinth stone set into the pommel, a polished carving knife with a cambrinth-inset rosewood hilt, a serrated carving knife with a molded brass hilt capped by a pair of cambrinth bats and a wide-bladed carving knife with a polished cambrinth-studded bloodwood grip.

A VERY PROMINENT SIGN reads:
These knives have been enhanced with cambrinth and masterfully wrought to retain their original balance and heft.

In the velvet-lined basket you see a smooth silver-plated ring set with a cambrinth teardrop, a twisted brass ring set with a square-cut cambrinth stone, a thin bronze ring set with a crescent cambrinth stone, a battered tin ring set with a rounded cambrinth stone, a dented steel ring set with a star-shaped cambrinth stone, a thick copper ring set with a tiny cambrinth sphere, a stained wooden ring set with an arrowhead-shaped cambrinth stone and a wide iron ring set with a talisman-shaped cambrinth stone.


>Southwest:

[War and Craft, Elemental Equipment]
The smell of oil and leather hangs heavy in the air. Several wooden poles hang from a lattice of ropes across the tent ceiling. Dozens of small dowels have been driven through each pole, serving as hooks for bags, sacks, and other equipment. You also see a wooden equipment stand with some stuff on it and some sturdy wooden shelves with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: northeast, east, south.


On the wooden poles you see a braided leather weapon harness fitted with cambrinth-inlaid steel rivets, a threadbare canvas backpack patched with etched steel plates, a dull blue leather combat pack fringed with embossed straps, a silver mesh traveler's pack decorated to look like a dragon's head and a faded battle-worn leather pack with frayed celpeze hide straps.

On the equipment stand you see a cambrinth-clasped leather backpack stitched with the crest of the Warrior Mage guild in silver thread, a segmented leather weapon harness studded with cambrinth-inlaid steel scales, an embossed leather talisman pouch clasped with a carved cambrinth stone, a brass-fitted leather backsheath studded with carved cambrinth discs and a sturdy leather thigh quiver wrapped with a fine platinum chain studded with cambrinth.

On the wooden shelves you see a bright golden duffel bag embroidered with a depiction of the elemental plane of Electricity, a smoky grey duffel bag embroidered with a depiction of the elemental plane of Air, a silver-edged black duffel bag embroidered with a depiction of the elemental plane of Aether, a striated slate-grey duffel bag embroidered with a depiction of the elemental plane of Earth, a streaked yellow and crimson duffel bag embroidered with a depiction of the elemental plane of Fire and an ocean blue duffel bag embroidered with a depiction of the elemental plane of Water.


>South:

[War and Craft, Wizards' Wearables]
A vented mesh flap in the side of the tent allows a fresh breeze to flow inside, although the primary source of light is a pair of hanging gaethzen globes. Pushed up against the tent wall is a sturdy oak wardrobe with one door slightly ajar, while beside it slumps an antique armoire. A curious hum, barely audible, fills the room with a sense of peaceful tranquility. You also see a polished platinum dais with some stuff on it, a polished gold dais with some stuff on it, a polished silver dais with some stuff on it, and an oak shoe stand with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: north, southeast.


In the oak wardrobe you see an orange-trimmed midnight black robe embroidered with roaring multicolored flames, a rainbow-trimmed amber robe embroidered with a cascade of multicolored gemstones, an ebon-trimmed storm grey robe embroidered with sweeping stylized images of whirlwinds, a silver-trimmed midnight blue robe embroidered with a shimmering storm of silver lightning bolts, a crimson-trimmed ebon robe embroidered with an elegant swirl of platinum snowflakes, a gold-trimmed snow white robe stitched with a circular pattern of six elemental symbols in shimmering purple thread and a carefully inked card.

A carefully inked card reads:
All of these robes can be turned inside-out to reveal a beautiful inner lining, and possess many other distinguishing features as well.

In the oak armoire you see a mink-lined night-black cloak beaded to resemble a dragon with outstretched wings, a red spidersilk cloak patterned to resemble leaping flames, an aquamarine watersilk cloak patterned to resemble cresting waves, a white silk robe shot through with ice blue threads, a billowing robe of heavy grey and scarlet silk and a crisp note.

On the platinum dais you see a gleaming platinum badge etched with the phrase "The power of water shall wash my enemies away!", a carefully inked sign, a gleaming platinum badge etched with the phrase "Mastery of the binding element is mine!", a gleaming platinum badge etched with the phrase "I call forth the lightning to vanquish my foes!", a gleaming platinum badge etched with the phrase "Feel the flames of my wrath!", a gleaming platinum badge etched with the phrase "I stand before the might of the air, unbowed!" and a gleaming platinum badge etched with the phrase "I shall cast the first stone!".

On the gold dais you see a gleaming gold badge etched with the phrase "The gateway to the realm of the elements is open before me!", a gleaming gold badge etched with the phrase "The wrath of the sky is a killing bolt!", a gleaming gold badge etched with the phrase "I stand before the might of the air, unbowed!", a gleaming gold badge etched with the phrase "I shall cast the first stone!", a gleaming gold badge etched with the phrase "Chilling ice shall freeze my enemies where they stand!" and a gleaming gold badge etched with the phrase "Tremble before the onslaught of blazing death!".

On the silver dais you see a polished silver badge etched with the phrase "Mastery of the binding element is mine!", a polished silver badge etched with the phrase "A terrible death awaits those who strike at a master of lightning!", a polished silver badge etched with the phrase "The earth shall open and swallow my enemies!", a polished silver badge etched with the phrase "Chilling ice shall freeze my enemies where they stand!", a polished silver badge etched with the phrase "The storms that blow fiercest are mine to command!" and a polished silver badge etched with the phrase "Feel the flames of my wrath!".

A carefully inked sign reads:
"These badges have been etched with four phrases each, pertaining to a specific element. You may TURN the badges to change the message that is displayed."

On the shoe stand you see some grey sharkskin boots burned with the symbol of the Warrior Mage Guild, some dark leather boots embossed with the symbol of the Warrior Mage Guild, a pair of ruby red silk slippers brocaded and beaded with elemental flames, a pair of sapphire blue silk slippers brocaded and beaded with elemental waves and a crisp note.

A crisp note reads(both armoir and stand):
These items were recently obtained from the collection of an old friend, Escogar.
