Velvet Vanguard
Upper District Market - Tailor-Armourer
A soft melody of crystal wind-bells announces your arrival in the dual-purpose shop of the tailor and armourer. The air is filled with the inviting scent of fresh leather, crisp fabrics, and a hint of oil used for maintaining the sheen on metal. A tasteful divide exists within the establishment, reflecting the union of fashion and protection it provides. One side of the establishment brims with a myriad of stylish garments. Everything from plush velvet capes to silk-laced doublets is displayed in a rainbow of hues and patterns, showcasing the shop's dedication to the aesthetic appeal.
The other side is a testament to the delicate balance between style and survival. Armor pieces crafted from leather and studded with expertly polished metal adorn the walls. Mannequins pose in defensive elegance, donned in intricately designed cuirasses, the steel embellishments as beautiful as they are practical. In the warmly lit epicenter of this creative whirlpool stands a small figure with nimble fingers and an eye for detail. The goblin, Maelis, her skin a radiant green under the glow of the overhead lanterns, weaves an enchanting dance of creation, her hands moving between delicate stitching and careful hammering with practiced ease. Beside her, following her every move with eager eyes, a young human apprentice assists her. His hands, though still unsteady, hold an air of earnest dedication. Every now and then, Maelis pauses to guide his hands or correct his posture, her stern gaze softening as she imparts her dual craft's secrets. The symbiosis between them speaks volumes of the shop's spirit, a harmonious blend of diverse talents, unity in contrasts, and the beautiful melding of fabric and steel.
