As you enter Karosgrad, to happen across a store resting at the corner of the first turn left. Wooden blocks engraved “B A R C L A Y”  sat atop the store-front. Another sign, reading “Barclay Bargains”™  would hang at the entrance on ground level. That same first floor would be home to the ”Barclay Waffen”™, the blacksmithing business of Barclays. The owner of the business and the trade union, Ser Brandt Barclay, would occasionally be found inside, either working on paperwork or simply greeting customers. To the right of the store you see a staircase leading up to what is labeled as “Edelweiss Diamante”™ , the Barclay business of Jewelers, owned by HL Luisa Klaire Barclay @Demented_Delila

Notices had been spread around the shop and throughout Haense, seemingly about the first of the two businesses, writing as follows:

 

“Dear and Respected Citizens of Hanseti-Ruska,
With much joy I would like to officially announce the reopening of “Barclay Waffen” - or Barclay Weapons as translated from Waldenian. As some of you might still remember, the business was firstly opened in 1781, or 334 ES, approximately 22 years from now. Since then it has provided and continues to provide the people of Hanseti-Ruska - and whoever happens to stumble by its humble services and products - with arms and armor to protect themselves, their country and their beloved since the days of Arcas. This same vision we continue even on a change to continents, going to Almaris, a place where even less is known and much more is needed to be explored, with monsters, abnormalities and other common enemies of Descendants. As such, our work continues with the same fervor as before, with even moreso now, providing people with a different variety of products and services.
As it stands, such products and services thus far include:

Common Goods:
[!] Standard-issue weapons, including swords, axes, maces, and more.
[!] Mineral products, including ferrum, aurum, and more.
[!] Wooden products, including rods, timber squares, and more.
[!] Tailoring products, including cotton and fleece, and more.
[!] Scholarly products, including writable books, quills, and more.
[*] Hunting Goods, - though not as extensively - including hides, leather, and more.

 

Customised (RP) Weapons:
[!] Swords, including greatswords, arming swords, bastardswords, and more.
[!] Polearms, including poleaxes, polehammers, halberts, and more.
[!] Maces, including a custom morningstar, and more to come.
[!] Daggers, including long daggers, wavy ones, and more.
[!] Slayer’s, including weapons made of Slayersteel for hunting undead.
[*] Ranged, - to be released soon - including shortbows, longbows, crossbows, and more.
[*] Axes, - to be released soon - including greataxes, one handed war axes, hatchets, and more.

Commissioned Goods:
Though the use of the following pamphlet (click here for discord link), customers may commission goods from both Barclay Waffen, and other businesses of Barclay Bargains, including jewlery for your loved ones from Edelwiss Diamante!
Prices are not set and instead can be negotiated with the respective craftsman, making sure they are kept fair, external factors are considered, and trading is encouraged.

 

Scholarly Goods:
[!] "Guide to Bladesmithing: Swords and Daggers" by Ser Brandt Barclay, including an in-depth, step by step process to get anyone into starting practicing the craft of blacksmithing themselves.

[*] Coming Soon - "Barclay Books & Bundles"™  , the upcoming Barclay Business, part of the Barclay Bargains trade union, trading on books of many different genres - as long as the law permits - ranging from beautiful poetry soothing to the soul, and all the way to magical guides. 

Though a different notice will be made public once BB&B is up and running, scholars and those interested in writing may use the same pamphlet (click here for discord link), in order to request a book of the inventory included below:
[An inventory list would be hanged below]

PS: The inventory list is still being updated, though all the books listed in should be available if they’re marked as such
