Fizwixit's Wonderful Widget

Fizwixit's Wonderful Widget is the SimuCoin Store's Battle Vault item for the August 2025 Duskruin run. Similar to the Greater Felcour Gauntlets, Fizwixit's Wonderful Widget allows you to TURN in an eligible room to set up a temporary portal for roleplaying. The portal can be set up to lead to a single room or a dual room, and there are also a few ways to restrict entry. For example, if it is set up for a single-room entry, you can allow anyone to go in OR change it to restricted, and then you must POINT your widget at everyone you want to allow in. For dual-room entry, that first room (the same one you would access in single room entry) is always restricted via POINT, but the second room can be either open to everyone else or restricted only to those people you WAVE your widget at. Before using, you have to permanently select where you want this jewelry item to be worn at using the WHISPER options from among the options of anklet, barrette, earring, necklace, pin, ring, or wristlet. The widget was created by GM Xynwen, with room theme painting help by GMs Casil, Elysani, Gyres, Thandiwe, and Tivvy. It is capable of storing up to 99 different rooms, which can be added via gears. Its temporary duration can also be extended by adding certain rarer gear types.

WHISPER is used to configure the widget. See the full range of options below. Additional Information Upgrading The widget can be upgraded with gears, which are available at Duskruin's August 2025 run via a prize pile and cost 200 bloodscrip. Gears selected from the pile are random and can be ANALYZE to determine what they augment. The prize pile is a copper-bound trunk, located just past Duskruin's entrance (8214503). Most gears provide additional room theme sets, which are randomly selected from the available options. If you do not have that theme, you can use the gear to add it to your widget, granting permanent access to that theme. Rarer gears may provide upgrades to increase the maximum uses per day by 1 (up to 4x/day maximum total) or that increase the total time duration a portal can be active per use from 30 minutes to 60 minutes. So you can use 2 of the 1x/day increase gears and 1 of the duration gears on a widget. Rare gears have a 5% chance to be pulled from the prize pile. Rarer gears are also a possible rare item drop in the Duskruin Arena and Bloodriven Sewers. Gears are added by using PUSH <widget> while holding both the widget and the gear in each hand. Whisper Configuration To access WHISPER settings, please use this format: WHISPER MY (ITEM NOUN) (COLOR, RESTRICT, ROOMS, THEMES, WEAR).

Single room portals can have access RESTRICTed, which means that only those that the widget is POINTed at will be able to enter the portal. Dual-room portals have slight different options. RESTRICT is used to provide open access to anyone to the viewing room, while the performance room can only be entered by those the widget is POINTed at. DUAL will set both frooms as restricted. In this case, those the widget is POINTed at can enter the performance room, while those the widget is WAVEd at can enter the viewing room. Your pin is set for a single room only. Your restriction options are ANYONE or RESTRICT. If you select ANYONE, anyone can wander through your portal while it is out.

When it finishes, you are holding a brass widget pin. Room Themes The widget comes with 2 themes out of the vault. Duskruin has a prize pile that you can pay bloodscrip for and get a gear with a randomized theme. If you do not have that particular theme, you can add it to your widget. The first room is what you go into if you have single-room setup. The second room is the viewing room if you set it up for dual rooms. A widget can hold up to 99 total themes. At the time of release, there were only a bit over thirty themes available, however GM Xynwen has indicated that she plans to add more at a later time. Theme 1: A stunning viridian-sanded cove [Viridian Sands Cove] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. The ultramarine waters of a small cove lap against pristine beaches of glistening viridian sand. A small rock-ringed firepit sits near the shore, and a tidepool teeming with sea life is tucked within haphazard piles of basalt. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [Viridian Sands, Basalt Pilings] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Rough basalt pilings are set haphazardly around the cove, a kelp-twisted railing separating them from the glistening stretch of beach. Several small tidepools are tucked behind the rocks, brightly colored anemones and seashells within each. You also see a shimmering violet portal (9217007, open). Theme 2: An amphitheatre in the clouds [Amphitheatre of the Clouds] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Brilliant blue skies shine high above myriad layers of fluffy clouds in bright whites, pinks, and greys. Sunset-hued striations radiate through terraces of pure white clouds that surround the expanse of storm grey billows comprising the ground. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [Cloud-Filled Terraces] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Several cloud-filled terraces, illuminated by sunset-hued striations, look down upon a small amphitheatre of storm grey clouds. A gossamer cloud-wreathed balustrade separates the terraces from the clouds below. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 3: An elegant salon with sanguine roses and alabaster floors [The Sanguine Salon] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Laurel-laden statues of chiseled stone fill the recessed niches of the area, the gilt-foiled walls affixed with flame-lit glass spheres. Sanguine glass-petaled roses slice across the alabaster marble floor, the reddened florals spilling towards the resaeun-framed balcony before vanishing to the depths below. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [Cloud-Filled Terraces] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Ebony velvet-draped benches benches curve towards the high-arced windows of the circular room, the elongated seating interspersed by tray-scattered tables occupied by glass decanters. Pale white smoke veils the dimly lit chandelier above, the jewel-draped chains glinting amidst the haze. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 4: A darkened bakery with hints of trouble [A Darkened Bakery] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Burlap sacks of flour and grain create makeshift boundaries across the dusty floor, the lumpy containers stacked ceiling high and caked in bloodstained frosting. Dented frosting tips dangle from knotted twine below an iron-forged chandelier, the blackened metal casting odd shadows with the ambient light. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [Darkened Bakery, Counter] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Flour-caked wooden barrels have been remade into makeshift benches scattered along the oak-planked floor, the seats lined along the counter facing the rectangular iron-framed window. Various cooking tools have been affixed to the walls, the implements placed between recipes and other scraps of parchment. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 5: A waterlily pond where capyxitas frolic [Waterlily Pool] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Faint wisps of steam rise from the heated waters as it gently spills down the layers of rock, the lapping waves breaking against a diminutive herd of capyxitas lounging between the verdant lily pads. Floating votives of lacquered vellum drift along the pale green-blue waters, the candles illuminating the grove of tall bamboo forming a demilune enclosing the area. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [Waterlily Pool, Shore] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. A series of flat rocks create makeshift benches across the greenish blue waters, the seating arranged along the perimeter of the bamboo-framed windows of a tea house. A single capyxita sits on a high rock at the edge of the tea house, gazing nonchalantly across the water. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 6: A rudimentary thatched hut [A Thatched Hut] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Crooked twine-tied branches form the walls of a hut, wilted leaves slicked back into the slipshod thatching. Bits of gnawed bones and pulverized shell casings are littered across the dirt-strewn ground, haphazardly piled along the discarded suits of rusted armor and broken weaponry left in puddles of stagnant water. A rudimentary porch is visible through a broken door. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [Thatched Hut, Porch] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Bits of dirt-caked twine dangle from a broken door door and windows, the thin ropes dangling crudely fashioned fetishes across uneven planks laid across pairs of rocks set in a semicircle facing the open door of the hut's interior. Behind the makeshift benches, cages of wire mesh lie battered beneath stacks of dented shields, bits of bone barely protruding from the dirt below. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 7: A cozy tavern [Rosehilde's Tavern] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Ironbound casks and barrels form makeshift walls enclosing the hearth-warmed tavern, the stein-covered wooden bar surrounded by shelves of distilled spirits and stacks of glassware. High-set tables and stools flank either side of the stone-inset floor, the center demarcated by an uneven ring of empty ale bottles and corks. Neatly carved into the wall behind the bar is "Rosehilde's." You also see a shimmering violet portal. [Rosehilde's Tavern, Tables] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Several stools situated at high tables flank the stone-inset floor of the tavern. Strands of rope dangling various types of dried tobacco serve as a makeshift barrier between the seating areas and the center of this tavern. Trails of cigar smoke intermingled with the aroma of ale drift across area. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 8: Backstage at a darkened theatre with a view from a prop closet [Darkened Theatre, Backstage] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. A closed curtain of heavy incarnadine velvet blocks this backstage area from the main performance stage. Racks overflowing with costumes are interspersed with trunks stuffed with jewelry, and other props and equipment have been pushed back to make some semblance of an open central area. Several closets and dressing rooms are visible down the backstage corridors. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [Darkened Theatre, Prop Closet] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Candelabra, swords, statuettes, and other props line the shelves of this spacious closet. A few overturned crates are set up as makeshift tables and chairs, and remnants of a meal serve as evidence the prop closet doubles as a hidden breakroom. A costume rack partially obscures the closet's entrance, allowing its occupants to keep an eye on backstage activity. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 9: A darkened stage with its curtains closed [Darkened Theatre, Stage] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Heavy incarnadine velvet curtains separate this stage from both the backstage and its audience.

You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 10: A proscenium theatre with a box seat view [A Brightly Lit Theatre] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. An elaborately carved proscenium arch frames the polished cherrywood stage, its incarnadine velvet curtains pulled back and secured with heavy cords of gold-tasseled silk. Below the forestage is a barely visible orchestra pit, and along the side walls are lushly appointed loges, each carved with scenes from famous Elanthian plays. Tiers of forest green velvet seating rise gently up to give each chair a good view of the well-lit stage. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [A Luxurious Loge] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Placed along stage left, this private seating area offers premium views of a brightly lit stage below. A marble statue of Jastev and Cholen sits in one corner, and a painting of a play in process hangs on the back wall. Several well-padded seats of rich forest green velvet rest near the loge's railing, a few low tables scattered amongst them. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 11: A giant mushroom theatre [Sporelight Amphitheatre] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Speckled toadstools rise from the mossy ground in natural platforms, forming a vibrant fungal amphitheatre. Pale bioluminescence radiates from the oversized fairy ring, casting shifting hues across the soft terrain. In the center, a flat-capped white mushroom serves as a spongy stage beneath the watchful curve of towering fungi. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [A Luminous Toadstool] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Faintly pulsing with bioluminescence, iridescent spots dapple the surface of a massive toadstool cap. Along the rippled rim, lace lichen drape like wispy, glowing curtains. The gently domed platform overlooks a fungal garden below that spreads out in tiered rings around a broad, flat-capped mushroom set apart by its sheer size and smooth surface. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 12: A crafting room [Crafting Room] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Fabric-filled crates and chests of vials form the tenuous walls of the area, the kaleidoscope of colors echoed by the splatters of paint covering the canvas-scattered floor below. Bits of wood and metal sit in haphazardly organized baskets beside the wire-framed mannequins, each form draped in a variety of pinned tags and ribbons. A cluster of silk-padded benches are set off to one side. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [Crafting Room, Benches] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Lantern-affixed easels frame the tall windows of the room, and a cluster of silk-padded benches rest in a semicircle around a cable-knit macrame rug dyed in a wash of bright colors. A low table separates the seating area from a main crafting area. Slender racks of tanned leather and chalk-marked fabric sit by corner cubbyholes neatly arranged with vials of dye wrapped in measuring tape. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 13: A fighting ring outside a ramshackle barn [Ramshackle Barn, Fighting Ring] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. A raised platform is set before a ramshackle barn, its outer edges decorated with suits of rusted armor and broken halves of shields. A crudely drawn border of clay delineates a makeshift ring upon the platform. Rag-filled buckets sit along the periphery of the dirt-covered ground, the balled-up bits of fabric stained with blood, ale, and ichor. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [Ramshackle Barn, Interior] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Several knots of rope are wrapped along the broken frames of the barn's windows, the open space allowing trails of cigar smoke to waft across the half-barrel benches set across the straw-strewn floor. Rivulets of wax spill down the candle-filled jugs perched on empty crates, the containers stuffed with various tools and sundries of a more dubious nature. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 14: A gazebo filled with teadragons [Teadragon Gazebo] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Ivy-draped coils of vivid florals entwine across a hexagonal gazebo, the verdant corkscrews wending onto scattered saucers lining moss-covered railings with teadragon occupants languidly lounging in painted teacups. Faint trails of scented steam fill the area from dual kettles nestled on pot-bellied stoves situated on opposite sides of the gazebo, the tea service accompanied by tiered trays of colorful desserts. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [Teadragon Gazebo, Outer Edges] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Several iridescent teadragons snore quietly along the horizontal railings of the hexagonal gazebo's outer windows, their tails draped over the moss-cushioned perches. Low-set tables of lacquered jadewood are encircled by velvet-cushioned benches, each table decorated with ornamental teacups crafted from pale arathiel. Matching jadewood balustrades separate the six walls of raised seating from the open center. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 15: A cozy library [A Cozy Library] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves line the walls, each overflowing with books and scrolls. Set slightly apart from the books, a cozy reading nook features stuffed leather armchairs and a fireplace with a gently flickering fire. Curled up in front of the fireplace is an orange marmalade cat. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [Cozy Library, Reading Nook] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Several well-worn and overstuffed leather armchairs dot this reading nook, each positioned to enjoy the fireplace's warm light while also allowing for a view of the rest of the library. An unstable stack of books sits near one chair, the spines all indicating titles related to myths of various races. Curled up in front of the fireplace is an orange marmalade cat. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 16: An ancient library [An Ancient Library] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Walls of aged stonework enclose this vast library, with stacks of matching dark grey stone lined up in rows. Light from a large, leaded glass skylight high above filters down on the crumbling stacks, each stack filled with aged tomes, scrolls, maps, and papers in various stages of decay. A podium sits at the front of a small lecture area at the center of the room. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [Ancient Library, Lecture Area] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Stone benches and tables crowd around a raised podium, the area a break in what is otherwise an unrelenting parade of crumbling stacks in this vast library. A few ancient books are wedged here and there beneath the tables, as if in an attempt to hide them from a librarian's watchful eye. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 17: A dungeon stage [The Thirteenth Curtain, Stage] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Slick with dripping moisture, damp stone encloses the chamber in uneven, rune-etched slabs. A cracked obsidian dais rises at the center, its edges chipped and questionably stained with something dark. Cobalt fire flickers from within cagelike iron chandeliers chained to the mildewed ceiling, casting trembling shadows that stretch toward a granite-chiseled ogee archway. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [The Thirteenth Curtain, Seats] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. A narrow ledge of fractured stone overlooks the chamber below, its edge crumbling into the dark with no railing to guard it. Claw-gouged black basalt benches stand in rigid rows, alcoves carved into the wall beside each. The candles inside are mere melted stumps. Below, an obsidian dais glistens in blue firelight, the details obscured by a creeping mist. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 18: A magistrate's hall with an observation chamber [Magistrate's Hall] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Towering windows barred in severe iron latticework allow thin beams of light to stripe the mirror-polished wood floors. A small aeunarad enclosure containing a single chair stands beside the raised dais where an imposing desk is strewn with stacks of thick tomes and parchment, and a gavel with its block sits neatly to one side. Heavy navy velvet curtains hang behind the dais, their folds drawn to obscure what lies beyond. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [Observation Chamber] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Five rows of thickly padded benches face a wide glass panel framed in ornately carved aeunarad. A battered oak stand bearing an ink-stained blotter sits near the entrance beside a row of wrought iron cloak hooks. The oak paneling of the walls gleams, lit by a series of pierced bronze sconces, while a narrow strip of nearly threadbare carpet marks the aisles around the border of the chamber. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 19: A dock deep within a bayou [Twilight Bayou] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Bald cypress and shagbark hickory frame several narrow water channels, their surfaces thick with algae and moss. Close to a towering mangrove whose roots vanish into the murky depths is a floating dock that shifts with the current. From the dock, a weathered ladder climbs to a platform with railings that overlook the swampy expanse beneath a twilight sky. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [Mangrove Platform] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Soft moans of protest issue from the weathered floorboards of the platform, the grey wood swaying slightly within the mangrove's embrace. A thin ashen railing encircles the space, offering a view of the twisting channels below as the water weaves between cypress and shagbark hickory. Above, the canopy is illuminated by hundreds of glass jars suspended by fishing line over long benches and filled with flickering fireflies. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 20: A beautiful autumn clearing [Autumn Clearing] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Tall aspen trees sway in autumn hues, their leaves rustling softly in the crisp, cool air as they cast dappled shadows below. Crocus blanket the ground, adding bursts of color amid frost-laden grass. Old logs form a loose circle at the center of the clearing, a small path winding between them that path toward a blue-crenelated, ivory white geteld. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [An Ivory Geteld] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Rippling slightly as a faint breeze brushes past, the geteld is cozy and warm, its roof high enough for a giantman to stand without stooping. Blankets are scattered across the floor, creating cushioned seating beneath the watchful gaze of copper-roofed lanterns. Shadows dance along the edges of an open flap, where light and shade vie for dominance. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 21: An isolated beach with a hidden cavern [Lone Beach] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Southward, the beach stretches uninterrupted to the horizon, while to the north, the cliffs rise sharply, meeting the waterline and forming dozens of tide pools. Ledges and holds within the cliff face display signs of nests, though a ragged gash in its center splits the aviary in twain. Dark and narrow, the crevice has rivulets of water spilling forth to meet the tide, whose steady pulse echoes through the air. You also see a shimmering violet portal. [Lone Beach, Cavern] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Trickling water slips through the stones, slicking the walls and pooling on the ground in thin rivulets that travel past irregularly shaped boulders before disappearing through a ragged gash in the cavern's uneven southern face. Bioluminescent algae cling to the upper reaches amid calcite-painted stalactites that trail toward the ground like disfigured spikes. The illumination from above paints the narrow space in an ethereal, blue-green light. You also see a shimmering violet portal. Theme 22: A moonlit meadow [Moonlight Meadow] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Moonlight filters through towering redwoods, casting long shadows across the glade. In the center, a fairy ring of mushrooms forms a delicate circle, their caps glowing faintly in the silvery light.

Faint traces of brimstone and heated herbs scent the area, lending a sharp, acrid tang to the air. You also see a shimmering autumnal-hued portal. Theme 57: An arid city courtyard enclosed by multifoil arches [Arid Courtyard] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Slender stone columns enclose the courtyard on three sides, supporting multifoil arches bordered by richly hued glass. The reflection of a vaulted balcony gleams in the glossy surface of the courtyard floor, its pale stone aswirl with spidery golden script made illegible in its artistry. A spindly tower of spiraled stone rises amidst terraced walls beyond the courtyard, and flames of greenish black fire flicker in the windows at its apex. You also see a shimmering autumnal-hued portal. [Arid Courtyard, Balcony] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Partially screened by a lattice of cholla wood and blackened silver filaments, the balcony juts out high over a courtyard. At this height, breezes stir the hot, dry air and carry aloft the plaintive strains of distant strings. Curved benches with woven leather seats skirt the rail between evenly spaced plinths supporting arranged sprays of flowers and greenery. You also see a shimmering autumnal-hued portal. Theme 58: A ceremonial terrace in the southern jungles [Zintali Steps] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Worn smooth by centuries, broad stone tiles form a ceremonial terrace enclosed by stepped pyramids that rise into the fragrant jungle canopy. Ivy and vibrant orchids spill down the ledges, half-swallowing obsidian glyphs etched deep into the limestone. Bronze-sheened violet su'chao silk trails from the uppermost terraces, converging high above a shallow basalt dais ringed in low-burning braziers, smoke curling lazily skyward. You also see a shimmering autumnal-hued portal. [Zintali Alcove] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Hidden in a notch along the stepped pyramid, the secluded gallery peers out through narrow slits between falls of su'chao silk stained the hue of bruised orchids. Dark velvet chaises recline amid wine-tinted candles and bowls of fruit and cacao, plush kish'enda pelts gracing the floor at their feet. The flickering light casts shadows across bas-reliefs of lithe figures locked in rites of abandon. You also see a shimmering autumnal-hued portal. Theme 59: A lone altar in a desert wasteland [Desert Altar] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Alone in a wasteland of wind-rippled grit, a scarlet despanal altar rises like a slick of blood against the pale dunes, the surrounding air shimmering with heat. Sculpted by the wind, ashen sand drifts climb halfway up the base, their desaturated hues starkly contrasting the black veins shot through the stone. Carrion birds endlessly circle high above, sharply silhouetted by the glaring, merciless sun. You also see a shimmering autumnal-hued portal. [Ashen Dune] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Pale sand drapes over the sprawling remains of a monstrous ribcage jutting out from the gritty peak, half-buried and sun-bleached to a brittle white hue. Harsh winds whip the grains in a tumbling dance down the steep desert slope to a solitary altar whose scarlet despanal gleams like a bloodstain on the undulous, ever-shifting sea of dunes. You also see a shimmering autumnal-hued portal. Theme 60: A darkened alley with a seedy tavern [A Darkened Alley] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Cobblestones glisten in the dim alley, their surface slick where discarded slop, likely yesterday's stew, pools in shallow depressions and fouls the air. Overlapping rooftops knit a canopy so tight that no light penetrates the confined space, adding to the overall darkness and miasma of the space. Dark walls are pockmarked with closed doors, the sporadic bursts of raucous laughter or muffled thuds offering hints of the type of establishments beyond. You also see a shimmering gilt-shot rose portal. [A Seedy Tavern] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Cramped and crowded, the seedy tavern room leaves little space to move without jostling a chair or stool against its brethren. Shuttered windows trap the smoke of burning tallows, thickening the air with a greasy haze and a cloying scent. Along one wall, a grimy bar serves potent brews and questionable stews, its surface stained by years of careless spills and rough handling. You also see a shimmering gilt-shot rose portal. Theme 61: A desert bazaar [Desert Bazaar] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Heat wavers in the air above the narrow, sandy track of a desert bazaar, its press so heavy it blurs everything in sight. The scent of roasting meat entwines with warm spices, while hawkers' calls rise and tumble in a cacophony of sound that is slightly disorienting. Awnings, carts, and pavilions crowd the way, their garish colors weaving a pageantry so vivid it threatens to overwhelm the senses. You also see a shimmering gilt-shot rose portal. [A Smoke-filled Tent] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Tobacco smoke mingles with sandalwood and frankincense in the dim tent. Large pillows lie scattered for reclining, offering an escape from the oppressive heat that waits just beyond the tent's flap. At the center, a copper brazier smolders, releasing faint tendrils that hiss as an attendant pours scented water over its coals, lending a trace of moisture to the parched desert air. You also see a shimmering gilt-shot rose portal. Theme 62: A jungle bazaar on the waterways [A Waterway Bazaar] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Jungle vines weave a canopy overhead, cords thick as rope and leaves broad enough to serve as umbrellas. Fine rain patters on the foliage, sparing the waterway market filled with boats from being soaked. Red and blue awnings shade wheelhouses, while planks laid on each bow link neighboring vessels to each other, creating a narrow, if precarious, walkway. The cry of parrots occasionally interrupts the calls of hawkers as they vie for attention. You also see a shimmering gilt-shot rose portal. [An Awning-covered Vessel] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Bright under its red awning, the sailing vessel sits low in the waterway, its narrow hull sinking into the lazy current. Bowls of vivid dye powders sit atop crates at the bow, their hues bright against the dark wood. Broad railings double as makeshift seats, while a rough, wide plank creates a makeshift bridge between neighboring vessels, granting passage deeper into the bustling, floating market. You also see a shimmering gilt-shot rose portal. Theme 63: A royal salon with a secret [The Royal Salon] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Richly patterned damask walls are cluttered with gilded frames, each featuring the painted visage of a long-passed noble. Regal purple velvet curtains embrace a row of oriel windows, blunting the already dim twilight creeping across polished tanik floors scattered with plush rugs. A chaise and matching settees of scarlet silk invite brief repose, while faenor candelabras flicker along the walls, illuminating the stern faces of generations past. You also see a shimmering gilt-shot rose portal. [Secret Passage] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. A narrow corridor winds behind the portrait-lined wall, its myriad paired eyeholes granting discreet views of the salon. Low haon stools, kneeling benches, and stepped perches match the differing heights of the portraits, allowing observers to peep undetected. Slivers of yellowed candlelight from the openings streak across the passage, dappling the cold stone wall opposite. You also see a shimmering gilt-shot rose portal. Theme 64: An outdoor theatre-in-the-round [A Forested Theatre] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. A round stage of handcarved celaeun is encircled by gently rising seating sections, each demarcated with a different House banner and each with ornate dignitary seating boxes in the front rows. Ancient trees ring the glade, lelelyias and daenys flourishing along the paths that wend their way to and from the forested theatre. You also see a shimmering autumnal-hued portal. [Forested Theatre, Seating] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Curving around a center, circular stage, each row of seating has boughs of celaeun woven into soft, fragrant cushions. Inlay of hemlock green apysel twines about the edge of the stage in an interlocking oak and acorn pattern, and a dark brown banner embroidered with a green oak leaf marks off this section from the rest. You also see a shimmering autumnal-hued portal. Theme 65: A lecture hall [Lecture Hall] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Bookshelves line the edges of this lecture area, a mahogany podium flanked by an imposing pair of desks centered at the front. Stacked books, diagrams, and notes clutter one desk, while the other is empty save for a propped up chalkboard. Tiers comprised of long wooden tables and battered chairs rise up from the stage, broken by a set of staircases at either end which give access to each row and to the exits at the back of the room. You also see a shimmering autumnal-hued portal. [Lecture Hall, Seating] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Several sharply tiered rows give each audience member an excellent view of the lecture stage below. The tables all bear markings of bored students, with carvings and drawings in abundance. The wooden chairs are battered but appear comfortable enough for a lecture of moderate length. On one table, someone has carved a detailed diagram of a rolton's digestive system, along with colorfully descriptive labels of each stage. You also see a shimmering autumnal-hued portal. Theme 66: Somewhere over Wehnimer's Landing [A Cloud-Surrounded Carpet] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. A fluffy white cloud surrounds this expansive, tasseled carpet, effectively blocking it from sight from any below while not obscuring the view of its occupants. Several smaller carpets with similar cloud protection drift behind. Far below, several landmarks indicative of Wehnimer's Landing are visible, including the Raging Thrak Inn and a large bridge. Tiny people, the size of ants from here, scurry to and fro along the streets. You also see a shimmering gilt-shot rose portal. [A Floating Rug] A vague shimmer of violet blurs the edges of the area. Several tiny rugs float behind a larger carpet, each piled high with comfortable, tasseled cushions. Fluffy white clouds drift just beneath the flying oddities, keeping them safe from far below eyes. Intricate weaving on the rugs incorporates several runic patterns, and each one has a tapestry-style image of a mythical creature woven into it. You also see a shimmering gilt-shot rose portal.
