Barclay Bargains Wer rastet, der rostet Who rests, rusts Serving since 1781. 17th of the Amber's Cold, 349 ES The Great City of Karosgrad Introduction: As one would enter the great, red city of Karosgrad after their long and chilly journey from the Northern lands, they'd be greeted with the warmth of the city. Venturing further, they'd begin hearing the busy sounds of merchants and see their wares. One of the sights would be a corner shop, not too big, though pleasant enough, seemingly featuring a variety of goods. You could see it right by the City Hall, standing in the corner to the left. ”Barclay Bargains” the sign outside would read... and banners of the House Barclay were visible. Inside Brandt Barclay would be seen behind the counter, ready to give his customers conversation and good prices. Customer’s Information and Commissions: Upon talking to the yellow haired man, among his many interesting lines, he'd also appear to offer you a pamphlet, full with information and a way for commissions. Additonally, you could also see a staircase going down, with a sign reading "Work in Progress [Bookstore]"... seems like an interesting project. "Wir are still waiting on some of the goods to come from Arcas, so some of the commissions and custom weapons are still unavailable, but ich will send a bird to everyone with this pamphlet with any new informaton" Brandt would inform... seemingly he'll have many new wares to give you once his old tools come back "Oh, also wir will most likely also be opening a bookstore, so keep ein eye out fur that" he went on with a slight smirk [!] You open the pamphlet as the Barclay smither gives it to you! (OOC) As we wait for Vortex to evolve and the vaults to be backed up, there's mostly going to only be normal stuff being sold, mostly Vortex-related. Once that's done though, the plan is to continue selling custom weapons and open a new bookstore. However, once that's up, if you want to commission something, please click the link above which will send you to the very chad Barclay Monopoly discord, where you can put your commissions, see what’s in stock, and keep updated. (Brandt Barclay working grumpily because he doesn't like forging horseshoes) Work Preview: Coming together with the informative letters, there appeared to be some sketch previews and paintings of Brandt’s many works, being listed:
