Platinum's quarterly service night and new location!

Location

Merchants' Bazaar, Spring Camp

Fluttering the colorful pennants hanging from a linen tent, a cool breeze carries the scent of blooming wildflowers and the audible buzz of working bees. A glazed clay bowl rests on the back of a padded wooden bench which faces a small stone-lined pond. A small beaten path leads to a colorfully painted wagon. You also see a cog-tooled steel sign, a gear-laden bronze notice and a bronze clockwork lemur.
Obvious paths: none
[Merchant's Bazaar, Tent - ]
The inside of the tent is heavy with the scent of spring flowers as small shoots of plants reach above the soft grass floor. Some plush colorful pillows are spread spaciously around a long silk-draped table. Obvious exits: out

Merchants' Bazaar, Summer Camp

The cry of seagulls mingles with the sound of crashing waves on the sand while the ocean breeze carries the scent of the salty sea. Set a distance from the shoreline, a white silk tent with a thin cotton awning provides shelter from the overbearing sun, while a colorfully painted wagon awaits to provide transportation away from the camp. You also see a leaning seaweed-laden notice and a wide driftwood sign.
Obvious paths: none
[Merchants' Bazaar, Tent - ]
The wind causes the cotton walls of the tent to billow and sway, though the sturdy construction keeps it upright. Some plush tasselled pillows are placed on the sand floor to loosely surround a long silk-draped table. The sound of crashing waves mingles with the faint scent of salt to provide a relaxing atmosphere.
Obvious exits: out

Merchants' Bazaar, Autumn Camp

A brown canvas tent covered in leaves is set just outside of an orchard of apple trees. Outside the orchard, the crisp autumn air is occasionally disturbed by the falling of turning leaves. A straw-laden path leads back to a colorfully painted wagon. You also see an apple blossom-laden sign and a leaf-strewn applewood notice.
Obvious paths: none
[Merchants' Bazaar, Tent]
The inside of the tent is noticeably warmer near the firepit, over which an engraved silver ladle protrudes from a steaming cast iron kettle. Some plush leather-covered pillows are scattered loosely about to provide seating near a long silk-draped table.
Obvious exits: out

Merchants' Bazaar, Winter Camp

A fur-lined black leather tent is pitched at the base of a frozen waterfall where streams of ice glisten in the sunlight. Arctic winds blow down the frozen river, shaking the icicles that hang from some icicle-covered pine trees. A few flat stones have been placed leading to a colorfully painted wagon. You also see a rock-strewn ice elemental, a frost-covered sign and an icicle-strewn pine notice.
Obvious paths: none
[Merchants' Bazaar, Tent - ]
Along the back wall of the tent, a long silk-draped table lies beside a stone-lined firepit which provides an opportunity to warm up from the frigid weather outside. Some plush fur-lined pillows are scattered over a thin layer of snow. Nearest the exit stands an ornate eagle ice sculpture.
