Scorch marks and soot stain the canvas near a small workbench in one corner of this modest shop. An intricate contraption hangs from the ridgepole. A confusing jumble of polished brass mirrors and gears, the contraption serves to magnify light from a single oil lamp and focus it on a single display case in the center of the area.
Obvious exits: out

In the display case you see: an elven wolf rider miniature, a dark elven rolton rider miniature, a Tehir bloodrider miniature, an erithi lancer miniature, and a Vornavian knight miniature.
