Ebon Sands Emporium
The Ebon Sands Emporium, a veritable oasis of mystique in the heart of Zafar, is an architectural marvel. Its exterior exudes an air of enchantment with its obsidian walls adorned with intricate runic symbols. Set against the backdrop of the bustling bazaar, the emporium stands as a testament to artistry and arcane power. The front facade boasts an arched doorway, framed with onyx columns and a crimson awning that seems to ripple like a mirage in the desert sun.
Stepping inside the Ebon Sands Emporium is like entering another realm. The interior is a labyrinth of shelves, each meticulously organized with wares that gleam with the allure of magic. Soft, warm lighting enhances the rich, mahogany furnishings and plush, velvet draperies. The air is heavy with the scent of incense and the soft hum of enchantments at work. A grand chandelier hangs from the high ceiling, casting prismatic reflections across the polished floors.
Staff
The enigmatic Tiefling artificer and enchanter, Malakar Sadim, is the mastermind behind the Ebon Sands Emporium. His presence alone is as much a draw as the emporium's wares. Rumors swirl about his immense knowledge of the arcane and his collection of forbidden enchantments. Malakar is a recluse, rarely seen outside the emporium's confines, but his expertise in enchantments and artifice is known throughout the city.
Malakar rarely meets with customers himself, he employs a staff of shop assistants, artificers, scribes, magical scholars, and security to interface with his clientele directly.
Malakar Sadim's loyal bodyguard is an imposing, magically animated golem known as "Ebon Sentinel." Standing at an impressive 7 feet tall, the Ebon Sentinel is constructed from obsidian-like enchanted stone, intricately carved with runes and symbols that bestow it with its formidable powers. Its glowing, azure eyes radiate with a keen intelligence that belies its inanimate appearance.
This silent guardian's primary function is to protect Malakar and the Ebon Sands Emporium from any threats. The Ebon Sentinel is capable of both physical combat and the use of magical abilities, making it a formidable and versatile protector.
Merchandise
The Ebon Sands Emporium is a treasure trove of magical and mundane items. Patrons can peruse a vast assortment of enchanted jewelry, scrolls of ancient spells, exquisite potions, and exotic trinkets from distant lands. However, it is the emporium's specialty in enchantments that truly sets it apart. Malakar Sadim offers services to imbue items with arcane properties, crafting personalized magic items tailored to the client's desires.
Location
Situated at the heart of Zafar, within the bustling marketplace Khan al-Zafar, the Ebon Sands Emporium is located in a cul de sac at the end of Efreeti Street and backs up to the plaza known as Midan Damila.
