Lustrous Labors
Purpose / Function
Lustrous Labors is a silversmithy in the heart of Castival, known for its exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to the art. Owned and operated by Elaric Silversmith, the shop specializes in creating high-quality silver goods, ranging from particularly impressive necklaces to tableware and intricate decorative items. Elaric combined traditional techniques with innovative designed learned from his time working with gnomes of a nearby secret village, creating pieces that are both functional and artistically valuable.
Alterations
The shop was initially set up as a general metalwork shop but was transformed first into a goldsmithy shop, then into a silversmithy after Elaric found his preference for larger pieces that the jewelry made by a goldsmith just didn't cover.
Architecture
Lustrous Labors is housed in a two-story building made of whitewashed brick and hardwood beams, giving it a clean, refined appearance that mirrors the purity of silver. The ground floor features large windows that provide ample natural light for the intricate work. Inside, the shop is lined with polished wooden counters and glass display cases that showcase the shimmering silver products. The second floor contains the workshop itself where Elaric does his work.
History
Elaris inherited the building from his father, a blacksmith of little renown. After apprenticing under a goldsmith in Tokalos, Elaris returned to Castival and decided to specialize the family business in jewelry, before later realizing his personal gift for larger products where his skill in shaping the metal could be more well-noted.
