Magic Shop – Stygian Wares
Slab
Stygian Wares is a shadowy, enigmatic shop tucked away in the twisting alleys of an ancient city. Faint red witchlights illuminate the interior, casting eerie reflections on shelves filled with peculiar items: flasks of murky liquid said to be drawn from the Underworld, cursed coins that hum with latent power, and amulets crafted to ward off spirits—or summon them.
The shopkeeper, a pale and soft-spoken figure cloaked in black, claims to be a descendant of Charon, the ferryman of the Styx. With an unsettling calm, they barter in whispers, demanding payments that sometimes go beyond gold—fragments of memories, a secret untold, or the promise of a favor yet to be named.
At the center of the shop is a swirling portal of energy that the shopkeeper keeps roped off for the protection of customers. Rumor has it, those who enter it are instantly transported to the Underworld. Though whether they make this journey alive or dead is unclear.
Customers visit Stygian Wares to obtain items steeped in necromantic energy, relics tied to ancient pacts, and spells to walk the perilous line between life and death. However, all who leave are warned: meddling with the wares of the Styx comes with a price no mortal can fully comprehend.
