Present Company is a shop in the Agora Promenade, around the Isle of Ornath, that sells gifts, gift giving supplies, and/or souvenirs and specializes in Glitzy Giftboxes. It is located through a many-paned golden imflass door under a sunny yellow awning.

The proprietor is the shopkeep Zoraija.

Present Company, Till

[Present Company, Till] Room: 7110455
Sunlight streams in from huge bay windows at the front of this spacious shop, rendering the burnished imflass sconces along the walls nearly pointless. Anchored between them, towering hazel shelves crowded with boxes of all shapes and sizes stretch to the back of the room where a narrow mica-topped counter houses a sturdy haon cashbox. You also see the shopkeep Zoraija and a many-paned golden imflass door.
Obvious exits: northeast, northwest

Inventory

On the mica-topped counter you see: a haon-framed sign, a pitcher of iced lemonade, and a loaf of lemon poppyseed bread resting on a canary yellow platter.
