Imaginarium
The Imaginarium is a magical vardo owned and operated by Bertox Xulous. It is self-propelled, but Bertox may use various illusions to give the appearance of the Imaginarium being pulled by exotic mounts.
The Imaginarium: Theme and Layout
- Theme: The shop is housed in a colorful gypsy Romani wagon, adorned with bright paints and mystical symbols. The theme is a blend of mysticism and whimsy, with a hint of steampunk.
- Layout: The interior is surprisingly spacious thanks to a magical enlargement spell. It features several sections: a display area for common magical items, a locked cabinet for rarer goods, a cozy corner for negotiations, and a hidden back room for the most exotic and dangerous items.
Security Measures
- Anti-Theft Measures: The Imaginarium is protected by various magical wards and enchantments. An anti-magic field surrounds the rarer items, and illusion spells confuse would-be thieves. Additionally, Gunnbjorn keeps a vigilant watch.
- Secrets: A hidden compartment beneath the wagon stores the most valuable items. Only Bertox knows how to access it.
Payment Methods
- Bertox accepts various forms of payment: gold, gems, trade in magical items, and even favors or information, especially if it leads to rare artifacts.
History of the Imaginarium
- Origins: The wagon has been in Bertox’s family for generations, passed down along with tales of adventure and magic. It was originally a simple merchant's wagon until an ancestor imbued it with magic.
- Reputation: Over the years, the Imaginarium has become a legend among magic item collectors and adventurers, known for its elusive appearances and the eccentric, knowledgeable Bertox.
