Welcome to the Nestlands Trading Post! Here you'll find paints, pigments, dyes (for hair and cloth), rare herbs, fine weapons in the Nestlands style, and three journeyman craftsmen ready to take commissions. The proprietor's name is Yhllip Prws. The three craftsmen are Joc Rud, Gwylm Kensy and Dugl Duhbgehs. ----------------------- A little history on the building: Located in the market district of Mpya Stedor, it began as nothing more than a stone warehouse for storing ale that hasn't had time to age. Some time in the late expansion of Mpya Stedor Apothecary Tolin leased the space, and renovated the exterior to be more eye catching. The north and south walls were given some low curving additions, the small windows were surrounded by a light blue paint, two columns were installed on the front corners, the doorway was widened and given an arch, and a small gable was installed with additional arch supports. Apothecary Tolin plied his trade there for quite some time, making and selling ointments, unguents, and restorative herbal teas. This all changed just before the Battle of Mpya Stedor. For a few weeks before the battle, Tolin was experimenting with a small amount of 'exploding powder' that he acquired from a strange source. He thought that he could reproduce the powder, and maybe improve upon it. Make it an effective weapon to repel the horde most knew was on its way. No one is certain how all the powder was ignited at once, but witnesses claim to have seen a blinding white flash, then a large plume of black smoke. Next the flames roared to life, causing most of Tolin's wares to ignite. The building was nothing more than a smoldering shell when the fire was finally put out. Luckily no other buildings were damaged by the fire, Unluckily Tolin's body was blown into tiny shards of bone and lumps of flesh, that were subsequently cooked by the fire. Only a few fragments of bone survived well enough to be collected for burial. Some time after the Battle of Mpya Stedor, the building and lot were purchased by the Blue Walkers Trading Company out of the Nestlands. The Company rebuilt the interior, added the large eagle head carvings, completely redesigned the roof, and repainted the exterior (preserving the original paint around the windows). Additionally, a small alter was placed in the loft where any Nestlands faithful is welcome to pray. ----------------------- Today outside the Nestlands Trading Post: It is mid afternoon in Mpya Stedor, the building's door is closed, and the windows are shuttered. Gwylm Kensy's current work, new tabletops for a restaurant and inn. Joc Rud has finished his commision for the Aslanic Order soldiers. It is assumed these large carvings are intended to be placed outside the soldiers' barracks. Dugl Duhbgehs is repairing armor for a battle camel. Lady Eddira Rendelberry has been waiting several minutes, wondering why the trading post is closed on such a nice day. She is looking to buy more hair dye. Squire Rikhard 'Redbird' Greisun spies the Lady Rendelberry waiting impatiently. He had been meaning to find time to speak with her alone, but keeping troops well prepared to defend the city leaves little time for courting. "Good Lady," Rikhard cooed joyfully, "Why are you waiting here in the sun, at this time of day? Don't you know?" "Know what, good Squire?" Eddira rejoindered, "Why Lady Rendelberry, these Nestlands men are at their daily prayers," Rikhard says softly, "They will be at it for at least an hour, or more. Please allow me to escort you to the Court Dining Hall, where you may wait with a cool drink. On my account." The Lady is about to take the Squire's hand when one of the Market Guards (a greedy sot) spies them and begins to rush over. In his head, there is an idea that the Squire is making some kind of deal with the Lady, and he wants in. However, he slows to a stop short, with a scared stupid grin, when the Squire glares at him for his intrusion on the private moment. -------------------------------- More details of the building. The carvings are a stylized representation of the Armored Eagle Goddess. They were brought all the way from Cobalt Vale, and mounted with care by expert masons. The roof is a new design intended to provide perches and roosting for the local birds. Anyone who tries to harm any birds in the vicinity of this trading post will be reported, and banned from the premisses. (OOC: Brickarms crates!) (OOC: Best image I could get of the window shutter. Lid to a Brickarms crate.) ------------------------------------- Comments appreciated. I am also seeking UoP DoH credits. Architecture: Roofing (1 of 3) Anthropology: City Scene

My entry on behalf of Kaliphlin for the Great Naval Arms Race Contest (also Approved UoP DoH credit for Trade and Law: shipping by sea / water): While the Ahok is really only a shallow-bottom cog used to ferry customs inspectors from the pier to merchant ships arriving in Kaliphlin's harbors, don't tell that to Capt. James T. Kaulk or his pointy-eared first mate. In his mind, every time the Ahok sets sail it's to defend Kaliphlin against the invading horde - and in the end, his boat could be used to move boarding parties in a naval battle... if no one else was available.
