Several animal hides drape from the framework of the tent, lining the sides and keeping in the warmth generated by a small wood stove. Several mannequins have been arranged along one wall, allowing plenty of room for customers to wander around and examine the wares for sale. You also see an informational sign.

Obvious exits: north, out

Sign reads:

"These special items were placed on the mannequin in Head-to-Toe order. If they have reversed, just turn your head to the side to get a better idea of the outfit's overall look.

Cloaks and footwear have been pocketed, generally to the maximum normal for them." ~~Samyrle~~

Hanging pots filled with oil burn quietly, adding illumination so that customers can better examine the mannequins dressed up in solstice finery. Garlands of fresh fir boughs ring the walls, each decorated with an assortment of bright jeweled decorations. You also see a gold-edge haon table with some stuff on it and a gift box sign.

Obvious exits: south

It reads:

"When I am here and performing my services, gift-boxing for those customers I service will be free. At all other times, you may purchase a gift box from the table." ~~Samyrle~~
