Dollhouse

The dollhouse itself was located in the Hearthstone Manor courtyard.

The whimsically decorated dollhouse is elaborately detailed, down to the tiniest embellishment on its miniature facade. Artistically painted shutters hug the pale blue clapboard siding. The roofing is scalloped clay tiles, the color of gingerbread, with a feathering of white paint along the gables. Surrounding the house is a green lawn, a few small buildings scattered about its manicured design. At the end of a path leading from the dollhouse sits an iron gate and a miniature toy chest. Inside the elaborate dollhouse you see miniature versions of everyone searching the Manor.

Toymaker Whax

Toymaker Whax stands next to the dollhouse.

Dressed in a tailored, red velvet jacket with a wide lapel and a tall black satin hat, this heavyset man puffs incessantly on a thick, pungent cigar. A broad smile lends even more roundness to his already pudgy red cheeks.

ask toymaker about Dolls
"Fascinating things, those," says Toymaker Whax with a slight twinkle in his eye.  "One never knows what can be accomplished with a mind for the macabre, a hunger for knowledge, and an appreciation for flesh.  After all, we are merely vessels that preserve our soul."

ask toymaker about Dollhouse
Toymaker Whax shifts his gaze toward an elaborate dollhouse and says, "Why, this is my home.  You should visit if you get a chance."

ask toymaker about Whax
Toymaker Whax says smugly, "You've never heard of me?  You must live under a rock.  My research and scientific breakthroughs have been astounding!  One needs only to visit my home to see such greatness.  Consider this a personal invitation."  He nods slowly at you.

ask toymaker about Feywrot
Toymaker Whax ponders a moment and says, "Wasn't fit for living anymore, so it was a good time to continue my travels.  I didn't stick around long enough to speak to anyone else... packed up my things and headed north."

Front Room

[Delirium Giftshop, Front Room]
A stuffed pony, outfitted with a brushed leather saddle and secured to a curved wooden base, rocks back and forth as visitors pass through this fancifully decorated entryway. Long streamers of vividly colored satin hang from the ceiling, some dangling tiny crystalline spheres that spin slowly. A green and white striped curtain drapes across a wide opening, and a wire basket hangs nearby on the wall.

Backroom

[Delirium Giftshop, Back Room]
A wide and colorful banner proclaims, "~Get Your Souvenirs Here~" from its prominent spot along the back wall. To one side is a souvenir-filled bookcase, complete with a line of stuffed blue bunnies perched along the base and positioned to stare up at the showcased goods. In the middle of the space rests an elongated carved maple toychest, its lid flung open to better display its contents.
Obvious exits: east, out

a bulb-nosed metal clown statue
Flamboyantly dressed in multicolored silks, the most noteworthy features of this statue are the facial details.  A wide grin reaches from one edge of his face to the other, and his slightly squinted eyes are encircled in deep black ovals and portray a twinkle of mischief.  As if for an offering, his open hands are outstretched, one of which is filled with tiny pieces of carved candies.

The metal clown statue is holding no gem, and there is no pattern set in the slot in its back.
gemcutter 1500
a sharply dressed pudgy toymaker figurine
You take a closer look at a sharply dressed pudgy toymaker figurine.
Sharply dressed in a tiny, well-tailored red velvet jacket and a tall, black satin hat, this pudgy-cheeked figurine grins with a thick cigar clenched between his teeth.  His wide, overtly eccentric eyes are encircled by dark ovals and portray what could be presumed as a twinkle of mischief.  The figurine's gloved, open hands are outstretched, an exceedingly tiny wooden doll grasped around the neck in one of them.

The pudgy toymaker figurine is holding no gem, and there is no pattern set in the slot in its back.

In the elongated carved maple toychest you see:

a twisted silver rod 150
a toy wooden sword 375
a skull-capped silver stick 150

a krolvin toy with a scarred face
Crafted with amazing attention to detail in the face, this clay and cloth figure of an elite krolvin warrior appears as though it is scowling at anything and everything in sight.

[Delirium Giftshop, Storage]

The adornments on the doll can be purchased to dress-up your own dolls!  Once you set an adornment on your doll, however, it cannot be removed, but it can be replaced by another similar item.  There are many more items to be found inside my manor.
