The Loom, Eastern Miracles, 2nd day of Calibration
The small shop and living quarters known as Eastern Miracles is a two-story stone building open to the sea air, like most other buildings in Gateway. It stands three doors down from a lesser marketplace where one might purchase the day's local catch, local fruits and vegetables, wines, trinkets, and perhaps even a sword or a suit of armor. This puts the shops relatively closer to the docks than most of the city, as that is where all the marketplaces are located. The sign out front is written both in Forest Tongue and Seatongue.
Inside a person will notice an Eastern, tribal motif if he has any familarity with the East. Strange Eastern animal skins, fishing nets that are much too small and poorly made by Western standards and painted tribal masks adorn the walls. These things serve to make the owner feel more at home. A spirit will notice the hum of previous Essence activity of the thaumaturgic variety.
Shelves wrap around three walls of the shop, and are stocked with various sundry goods. Medicines for very minor ailments, anti-venom, bandages soaked in a compound that immediately staunches blood flow, crushed plants, herbs, seeds of various kinds. To the uninitiated in Medicine most of these strange implements are unrecognizable and could be mistaken for occult supplies.
The back wall has a staircase that ascends to the second story. In front of the staircase is the counter behind which Isomaru does his work. A small stove doubles as a forge and heating element for a large black cauldron that is usually making some concoction (either a minor alchemical compound or deer stew, depending on the time of day). The counter is made of a hardened, treated, glossy wood. Behind the counter there are various pouches of components used in thaumaturgical rituals. A bow is strung and mounted on the wall behind the counter, along with a quiver of arrows, indicating that the thaumaturge is in residence, but not immediately visible on the first floor.
Isomaru is on the second floor watching the crowd through his small window. There is much activity this sunrise, from people waking up where they don't remember being from the night before and stumbling home to intrepid merchants making a profit selling more supplies to the citizens of Gateway throwing parties on the second day of Calibration.
The mood in the city is one of muted, happpy expectation. Its far to early to begin celebrating, but all know that is where the day will end.
