Chrisia's ShadowShop
By: MoonHunter

It is a colorful shop, full of dolls, puppets, mannequins, small statues, and other things that are just "shadows" of a human. That is what this shop sells.

Those that do not know the local vernacular might be confused by the contents of the Shadow Shop.  A Shadow is anything that looks like a person. Chrisia’s shadow shop sells dolls in a variety of sizes (from small toy size to life size) in a range of realism (from nice caricatures to nearly perfect in their simulation).  They are made of wood, clay, and cloth mostly, painted almost perfectly. Most of them are toys (dolls mostly, but some puppets), some are statuettes, a few are mannequins, and a life sized ones in the back are for more special purposes. As one can guess, the costs vary greatly. She is sought after for her puppets and special shadows, as her articulation is nearly perfect.

There are many things you can do with this shop.
1) You see someone leaving in a coach, little do you know it is a Shadow in the coach leading you on a wild goosechase.

2) You think you have a body snatcher, but it is just a life sized shadow.

3) Coyns could complicate things…

4) A new magical technology has been invented. All of a sudden, Chrisia’s artistry is in high demand to make ‘jacks
(System- X-Jacks)

5) An item that provides telekinesis or animation could make things interesting here.
Garage Sale From Hell

6) An evil madman wants a Shadow of a specific person.  He will then steal their soul and stuff it in the Shadow for safe keeping. He can then put a demon in their body. How little does he know that the Shadow, under the light of the moon, will move on its own accord.

7) Someone is putting on a puppet show with full sized shadow puppets.  They are using their life sized puppets as a cover for their occasionally smuggling people and slaves in and out of an area.

A Bag of Beautiful Coyns By: MoonHunter
Items » Other » Magical

Many years ago, a trader from far away died while in The City. One of the entries of his possessions was a "bag of 220 beautiful coyns".  These coins were sold to a crafter who sold some of them and made others into hat band decorations, jewelry, bag clips, and so on.  It was years later that someone discovered their true worth and their power.  They make things move.

Just a solid shop with a few good ideas on it's use. The plot ideas are the highlight. Who would have ever thought of a "doll shop" as having these possibilities.

A creepy toyshop or a place of child's delight, all depending on what you need. I see a high end toyshop, where people should look and not touch. A riot of color and woodsmell, brightly lit, with over stocked shelves. The workshop in the back. The mistress of the shop having a "thing" for shadows. (I like that turn of phrase for dolls and such).

There is a lot of dramatic potential here. I don't know what x-jacks are (assuming they will be added, like The Bag and The Garage Sale).

Trying to find a place for this... "After the famine hit the land, the priest Galen began religious wanderings, drawing his congregation to follow him. Those who took up with him, began to walk, a great outpouring of energy to this religious pilgrimage, coming from an impoverished nation with no true direction other than to find relief. Galen professed to his followers that they would find great resources set by his God down on Earth for them, enough to nourish and slate their thirst. Those that fell as he took them across the barren plains of the western reaches, rose again to join the lines. When finally all had died, Galen led them further, praising Nuh-Erell for that first city they came upon and a feast of flesh that lay in wait"
