Colorful globes are suspended from an oilcloth ceiling, their warm glow filling the space with a multitude of bright colors. Oak frames treated with glossy lacquer are suspended from the cloth walls, while wooden shelves stacked with paper rest upon a plush carpet of overlapping hides. A large sign greets customers as they enter, its precise lettering bright white on the black canvas.

Off-white canvas splattered with varied pigments form the walls and high ceiling of the labyrinthine pavilion which is illuminated by dusky orbs that shed flickering multicolored lights. Thick carpets stave off the cold of the festival grounds, though a light breeze does trickle in beneath the unbound ends of the tent's flaps. Plain and unassuming, a small bookcase lined with art-covered shelves rests against the western wall.

Painted in vivid colors and with lifelike realism, a mural decorates the northern wall of the pavilion and stretches into the ceiling. Along the western edge, gnomish trinkets, baubles, devices, and mechanisms are depicted in garish grey, black, and mud brown hues as they encroach upon the verdant foliage of the eastern side that is redolent with fauna, organic growth, and vibrant elementals.
