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.

In the Common language, it reads:
Fitzwobbin has created a new class of miniature for play in his Siegery game, and he has allowed exclusive sale of mounted units at this venue.  Mounted units add a new dimension to the contest as they are quite strong against ground troops but quite weak against castles and other fortified structures.

Each of the miniatures in this case have been fully customized with messaging and stats available only here at Rumor Woods.

Enjoy!  Fitzwobbin
