Topsy's Botanical Emporium
Topsy's Botanical Emporium is a large shop of plants and fungi located in Cw Mydru, owned by Caivhan gnome Topsy of the Fungalbloom family. The shop includes a greenhouse across the street and surrounding gardens including a "dead field" which features various decaying compost piles and growing fungus.
The windows of the shop advertise tannins, toxins, and tonics as well as the flora, fungi, and filaments.
Purpose / Function
Provide easy access to Caivh Hwell's rare and powerful plants and fungus.
Architecture
The emporium features different buildings which differ slightly in architecture, including a glass greenhouse and a moss-covered wooden storefront with fungus growing on the shop windows and potted plants for sale lining and crowding the sidewalk.
History
Topsy's aunt previously owned a plant shop, but when she passed away and Topsy inherited the shop, Topsy used her inheritance money to purchase surrounding plots (and taking over nearby vacant land which she writes off as "nature's course", for example, when her fungus spread to a government-manicured grove of ornamental plants, turning the lot into a sprawl of fungus and flowers.
Tourism
Her shop is well known among enthusiasts, magicians, potion-makers, apothecaries, and medicine-makers. Orc officials steer clear of her products, however, basing their potions on more "conventional" sources such as state-approved potions and rations whose manufacture is monitored and standardized.
