Basila's Shop of Splendorious Machines

A shop once located within Oak's Sweep village limits, the shop was moved west to the bank of the Blue Frost River.
For safety reasons.
Pomil Guyno, a tiefling, runs a small machine shop and also acts as a chronicler for House Sivis. Pomil has a helper named Remus, a friendly Monodrone that helps him around the shop. Pomil purchased the shop from Basila years ago. For a fee, Pomil offers a messaging service, though he reserves the right to refuse the job if he believes the message is treasonous.
House Sivis
Leader: Lysse Lyrriman d’Sivis Headquarters: The Labyrinth (Korranberg, Zilargo)
Bearing the emblem of the cockatrice, the gnomes of House Sivis facilitate communication. This is seen most literally in speaking stones, magic items allowing a Sivis heir to send a short message to another speaking stone. House Sivis’s message stations employs these items as the backbone of their long-distance communication network. The house also trains and licenses scribes, notaries, interpreters, cartographers, barristers, heralds, bookbinders, and others who work with words. House Sivis has an especially close relationship with House Kundarak, as Kundarak letters of credit must be notarized with a Sivis arcane mark.
House Sivis takes great pains to maintain the trust of its clients and holds a position of absolute neutrality in all disputes, whether between houses or nations. Sivis gnomes are typically friendly, curious, and engaging, but that kindly exterior might conceal a scheming mind. Gnomes have a natural love of intrigue, and the different families within the house often engage in subtle schemes and feuds. Doyenne Lyssa Larriman, the leader of the house, takes pains to ensure that these intrigues never threaten the house or its reputation.
