WELCOME TO THE PATHS YOU NEVER KNEW EXISTED.

Deep in the lower workshop districts of Luminara, far from the serene light of the upper platforms, you’ll find this cluttered haven. The shop is a chaotic jumble of weathered wood, its windows obscured by old charts. Inside, the air smells of old ink, beeswax, and strange minerals. This is not a place for common travelers. This is Elara's Map Shop, a place where you can buy a chart not just to a location, but to a forgotten history, a hidden reality, or the very heart of a riddle.

MEET THE CARTOGRAPHER: ELARA

Do not be fooled by her appearance. Elara is ancient, her form gnarled like a windswept cypress, her skin like old parchment. But her vibrant, violet eyes hold a mischievous and fey light. She is a collector, but she does not seek gold. She is a fey-touched being who trades in the abstract, the personal, and the irreplaceable.

"OH, A PRETTY THING. YOU DON'T WANT A MAP OF A PLACE. YOU WANT A MAP TO A TIME. TO A FEELING. I HAVE IT. BUT MY PRICE ISN'T YOUR COIN, LITTLE SEEKER. MY PRICE IS..."

LORE & SECRETS

Elara’s knowledge is vast, and her maps are coveted by those who seek the lost places of the world. It was Elara who provided the map that guided Scott and Aerithen to the hidden entrance of the Hammerdeep Catacombs. But her price is always personal. She may ask for "the memory of your first victory" or "your sense of direction for a moon's turn".

Be prepared to bargain, but know that coin is worthless here. She will ask for a memory, a feeling, or a concept. The bargain, once struck, is absolute and the price is keenly felt. Scott himself paid a deep price to get the map he needed.
