A short, wide tower looms above you as you approach, a sign on the building declaring, "Nishka's Workshop: items of all sorts contstructed, ready-made and bespoke, including enchantments and dweomered items."  There are buildings below the tower, arranged in a way that they appear to have an internal courtyard from what you can see from outside.  They are of heavy, dark, wooden timber-framed construction, with rough white walls between the massive structural supports.  Multi-paned windows adorn the walls, with fresh flowers lining the gravel path up to the great double doors, and the edges of deep thatching show as you look up toward the roof.  A smaller door off to one side has a sign on it that reads, "Offices of the Agent, Always Open."

Low sounds of activity can just be heard as you open the door, and the interior of the space is absolutely crammed full of a variety of items which defy the mind to fully take in.  Barrels of swords on the left, racks of suits of all manner of armor on the right, racked bows and crossbows beyond, cases of arrows and quarrels, shields aplenty, clothing in cuts and colors both familiar and unfamiliar, chests, basketry, leather goods, tools, cooking utensils, tack, saddles (some for body shapes you couldn't name with a knife to your throat).  Even more wondrous, there are some weapons that glow with an inner light in locked and barred display cases, along with wands, staves, and other obviously magical items, behind a huge wooden counter.

From behind the counter a dark-haired, human-looking woman looks up as you approach.  Her eyes are entirely black, with what appear to be a series of spiderweb-fine cracks in them, as if they were made of glass that had been starred by a sudden impact.

"Welcome to Nishka's.  I am Her Agent.  What are you looking for today?" she enquires.  It is only at that point that you realize that there are armed invidivuals all about, obviously watching the goings-on here, and they have not only amazingly high-quality weapons and armor, but most look to be carrying wands of various sorts as well.
