The Everbright Emporium

Written by Pookas Kreations

The emporium didn't evolve in the The Fae Wild, but the person that runs it Pip Stardust, had the emporium built to encourage fun and joy to those around him. He is of the Dream Fae race, they feed on others' feelings of joy and fun, especially laughter. 
He was tasked with collecting the energy that strong emotions that joy creates. Seeing how much laughter was produced by a jester performing to a crowd, or a puppet show to a group of children, a country fair to children. That encouraged the idea of creating the emporium. 
It is located in a bustling marketplace of a whimsical city and is a beacon of laughter and wonder for all ages. The emporium is an odd building, it has doors that open to many of the larger cities. It is located in the capital city of Sylvania. They hired mages who knew how to create transportation portals that are linked to doors in the other cities. All that is needed is to pay the entrance fee and pass the threshold of the door to enter the actual emporium.
Ground Floor The base of the building is constructed of gingerbread, its aroma wafting through the air tempting all who walk by. The clear windows with the reflections to be seen inside.

• The Hall of Games and Giggles: is a vibrant space filled with games from the world over including the Fae Wild. Giggling races from all over the Fae Wild man booths with any game imaginable like ring tosses, and enchanted darts. Pixie-sized jousting tournaments are played to the enjoyment of the crowd. Booths dispense potions that taste delicious and have temporary hilarious effects.

Second Floor The second floor is made of spun sugar, and candy-cane pillars that support a roof of shimmering marzipan tiles. gummy bears and licorice dangle from the eaves.

• The Theater of Marvels and Merriment: is dedicated to live entertainment. Acrobatic fairies perform feats on trapezes woven from moonlight. Burly trolls regale audiences with tales of heroes and villains. An illusionary stage showcases that bend reality leaving the audience gasping in wonder.

Rooftop The rooftop garden crowns the structure with a wondrous topiary garden, made of varicolored cotton candy.

• The Cloudland Cafe and Wishing Well: accessible through a candy cane staircase, the open-air haven offers top-down views of the city. Patrons can relax on cloud-soft pillows while eating sorbet, donuts, and other delightful treats. 

Basement For those interested in more adult entertainment, there is a secluded adult-only room in the basement. Some people want to experience thrills, and fear.

The Everbright Emporium is a place where everyone is welcome, it is a neutral zone. Anyone with weapons, poison, or anything else that can cause damage is relieved of it when they enter and the items are put in an amnesty box and returned when they leave. It's a reminder that joy and laughter are an essential to healthy and fulfilling life.

Purpose / Function

To create a place for others to have fun. The building is meant to encourage fun for anyone that enters.

Alterations

New rooms are constantly added or removed.

Defenses

Its location in the Fae Wild, adds to the strength of its structure. Its appearance is mostly an illusion, as gingerbread and candy have no structural capacity enough to hold up a building.

History

The old way to attack people into the fae fairs was hidden portals, fairy rings, abductions, etc. This way is easier and money is gained as well. They also tried to relly on the energy from fear, but they discovered that laughter builds more power.
