[Blanve's Bounty, Den of Decadence]
Diaphanous gossamer scarves of crimson and gold veil the gaethzen orbs dangling from the ceiling. The spheres glow softly with alluring, jewel-toned light to subtly illuminate the shadowy space. Positioned in twos and threes, plump damask pillows claim the floor along the edges of the dusky, silk-draped walls. In the room's middle, wisps of scented smoke float lazily upward from a tall bronze censer, its sophisticated ornamentation a perfect match for the plush indigo rug's elaborate maze pattern. You also see an unfurled length of parchment pinned conspicuously to a wall, a shrouded doorway and a lacquered table set low to the ground with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: north, northeast, northwest.
>read parch
There is nothing there to read.
>look parch
Six images are outlined in various colored inks, each filled with a paragraph of ornate script. From what you can discern, the pictures visible on the parchment include a blossom, butterfly, cloud, sun, moon and star.
>look blossom
Penned in red calligraphy, large letters form the words "VELA'TOHR TOURMALINE" across the top. The paragraph begins: "Mined from deep within the southern tier of the Arncharn Shel mountain range in Forfedhdar, this gem is found clustered densely in small pockets of metamorphic rock. The heat from Elanthia's core reacts with the region's icy climate to formulate a unique crystal structure rich in natural pigment-enhancing minerals." The text appears to continue further down.
There appears to be something written on it.
>read blossom
A blossom reads:
"Named after the blighted flora of the Vela'Tohr Woods surrounding the base of Asketi's Mount, the tourmaline has been magically enhanced to display an array of colors reminiscent of the plant's beautiful blossoms. Depending on the lighting, the jewel exhibits verdant green, vibrant orange or dusky red hues."
>look butter
Penned in purple calligraphy, large letters form the words "ORCHID ALEXANDRITE" across the top. The paragraph begins: "First discovered when searching the Pejek region of Therengia, this gem is found encapsulated within petrified peat nestled far below the surface. The ground's high water content combined with rare minerals in the bedrock cause accumulations of silica and other elements during the crystallization process." The text appears to continue further down.
There appears to be something written on it.
>read butt
A butterfly reads:
"Named for the dragon's mouth orchid that grows primarily in bogs, the alexandrite has been magically enhanced to suppress its greener shades in favor of colors reminiscent of the flower's velvety petals. Depending on the lighting, the jewel exhibits silvery indigo, vivid pink or twilight purple hues."

>read cloud
A cloud reads:
"Named for the halo of cloudy ash that occasionally lingers at the volcano's peak, the garnet has been magically enhanced to display an array of colors reminiscent of the jungle horizon at twilight. Depending on the lighting, the jewel exhibits rich crimson, pastel violet and pale silver hues."

Penned in silvery calligraphy, large letters form the words "NIMBUS GARNET" across the top. The paragraph begins: "Found around the base of the Nardel Aesker on Hara'Jaal, this gem is mined from secretive compartments of igneous rock at the mouth of the Seord Fal River. Ancient flows of hot magma cooled amidst the fertile loam, infusing the developing stone with minerals known for influencing pigmentation." The text appears to continue further down.

A brilliant streak of light flashes across the sky!
>look sun
Penned in golden calligraphy, large letters form the words "ZENITH SPINEL" across the top. The paragraph begins: "Dubbed the 'Tear of the Sun' by locals, this gem is excavated from several small quarries within the Gemfire Mountains surrounding the Velaka desert. The region's harsh climate tempered the crystallization process with excessive heat and aridity, enhancing the stone's natural brilliance and extraordinary fire." The text appears to continue further down.
There appears to be something written on it.
>read sun
A sun reads:
"Named for the pinnacle of the blazing day star's brightness, the spinel has been magically enhanced to display and array of colors as radiant as the sun's own. Depending on the lighting, the jewel exhibits fiery scarlet, pale yellow and deep coral hues."
>look moon
Penned in blue calligraphy, large letters form the words "PHANTOM SAPPHIRE" across the top. The paragraph begins: "Harvested from underground caverns within a single mountain in the Himineldar Shel range, this gem was nearly overlooked due to its tendency to blend in with the surrounding rock. The stone retains a subdued fire enriched by the presence of heavy mineral deposits surrounding the crystal during its formation, much like a cloak of shadows." The text appears to continue further down.
There appears to be something written on it.
>read moon
A moon reads:
"Named for its elusive and deceptive appearance, the sapphire has been magically enhanced to display an array of colors matching the spectrum of the heavens above. Depending on the lighting, the jewel exhibits shadowy grey, bright ultramarine and midnight blue hues."
>look star
Penned in rainbow calligraphy, large letters form the words "MYSTIC TOPAZ" across the top. The paragraph begins: "Extracted from the mysterious depths beneath the Lesser Fist in Zoluren, this gem is scattered sporadically within the igneous bedrock, creating the need for careful calculations and precise procedures." The text appears to continue further down.
There appears to be something written on it.
>read star
A star reads:
"With permission from the Moon Mages inhabiting the fortress within the dormant volcano, only the highest quality stones are removed from the ground, having developed under intense pressure and heat ages ago. Named for the numinous nature of the Monks, the topaz has been magically enhanced to display an array of colors spanning the breadth of colors found in dreams and fantasy. Depending on the lighting, the jewel exhibits vermillion-flecked teal, brilliant rainbow and brown-flecked purple hues."
[Blanve's Bounty, Oasis of Opulence]
Extensive murals illustrate an exotic desert horizon at twilight. The black-painted ceiling dilutes to shades of rich purples and pinks, eventually culminating in a white-orange band as it meets the sand decorating the lower half of the walls. Miniature gaethzen orbs dot the sky to emulate twinkling stars, illuminating the tranquil scene with a subtle glow. Tall potted palms in large golden urns frame the pebbled beige carpet, and a majestic rock fountain stands prominently in the center. You also see a silver sun with some stuff on it, a golden sun with some stuff on it, a platinum sun with some stuff on it, a silver cloud with some stuff on it, a golden cloud with some stuff on it and a platinum cloud with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: east, south, west.
[Blanve's Bounty, Sanctuary of Splendor]
White marble columns adorned with climbing jasmine vines border the area at even intervals like a temple, strategically revealing glimpses of the shimmering midnight blue silk draped smoothly underneath. Brilliant gaethzen orbs glow overhead like will-o'-the-wisps caught in perpetual luminescence, bathing the displays in pools of starry light. A shadowy expanse of luxurious black carpet draws attention to the sparkling quartz sculpture stationed conspicuously in the room's center. You also see a silver star with some stuff on it, a golden star with some stuff on it, a platinum star with some stuff on it, a silver moon with some stuff on it, a golden moon with some stuff on it and a platinum moon with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: southwest, west.
[Blanve's Bounty, Garden of Grandeur]
Lustrous deep green silk covers the walls and ceiling, enveloping the area in luscious color on par with the lavish earth-brown carpet underfoot. Sculpted terra-cotta pots filled with blooming flowers border the display area, and tiny gaethzen orbs suspended from above hover effortlessly over the wares like curious fireflies on a midsummer's eve. The musical rhythm of chirping crickets lingers in the air, emanating from somewhere close yet out of sight. You also see a silver butterfly with some stuff on it, a golden butterfly with some stuff on it, a platinum butterfly with some stuff on it, a silver blossom with some stuff on it, a golden blossom with some stuff on it and a platinum blossom with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: east, southeast.
