Brisingamen - Bookstore and Show Room

First, your ears are beseiged by the gentle tinkling of the mammoth fountain that lies in front of you, welcoming. As your eyes sweep the area, you can see that this store caters to everything a pagan, or anyone into mysticism or occult, may need. A semi-circle of work benches and display tables crowns the fountain, each one displaying different wares. The display case underneath one heralds swords, daggers, and cauldrons of all shapes and sizes. Another one holds containers of herbs and spices. Yet another displays gemstones in varying ranges of sizes, colours, and prices. These are just a taste of what this store offers.

To your right is an archway of the finest cherry wood, gleaming in the light, with a brass plaque over the door that reads: The Tea Room. To your left is rows upon rows of books, all heralding an occult study behind them, from Angels to Zenith. In the very back, a grand stair case sweeps up to a loft and balcony, a single door up there with a brass plaque that reads "Employees Only". Near the stairs is another cherry wood archway, with a painted sign crowning the arch, bearing the phrase: "No one gets in to see the Wizard. Not no one, Not no how. - Frank L. Baum". Right above this sign is another brass plaque, inscribed with 'The Cloakery'.

You'll note that to the right of the Tea Room arch is a beautiful, blonde-coloured wood display case, with only the finest of wares beneath it, and an old Macintosh computer resting on top, serving as the cash register. The walls are painted in varying shades of pastel greens and blues, almost like a water-colour mural, with the people seemingly ghosted in the background.
