Location [Lhavit] All Things Wild

[Haeli]

. General Information Located in the shell of Lhavit's first crystal observatory, All Things Wild is an eclectic three thousand square foot shop providing herbs, spices and assorted other goods to common citizens, herbalists, priests, magicians, and those interested in the unique. Found resting beside the Koten Temple, All Things Wild's official address is 214, Zintia Peak, Lhavit. The building is large, quite large, in fact, and had three stories topped with the usual Lhavitian-style dome made of crystal. Now renovated from a research facility which closed up when Iraltu's Observatory was built, it houses an enormous indoor gardens and shop. The first thing a customer would notice walking in through the large crystalline doors is the fact that someone has taken great pains to bring the outdoors inside. Spice and fresh herb scent fills the air along with the tinkling of water and the rustling of leaves can be clearly heard in this stone facility. Light pours in through the clear ceiling and walls, warming and creating a hothouse environment that allows fruit and flowers to bloom almost year round. An artificial stream flows through the place dividing the shop up into stone islands, some populated with plants, some with displays of items for sale. Birdsong can be heard filtering through the almost primitive weave of nature and civilization. On the far right, built into thick brick walls, are a massive set of apothecary doors which swing open and shut. This built in display is tucked behind a massive natural wood counter that looks like it was hewn from a deadfall and carved up to fit the space in both function and looks. The Mistress of All Things Wild, Haeli, can often be found behind the counter bent over various implements of her trade - mortar and pestle in her hand. She is quick to greet anyone walking through the doorway and will most likely be wiling to mix up custom orders or escort those seeking more non-traditional forms of woodwork and metalsmithing into the Tinker's shop set well back into the brick of the building in a separate workshop. There’s three stories comprised of a spacious ground level. The backyard is quite the marvel since the current residents have dammed up a small stream and made a series of water gardens surrounding an ancient mountain oak in the back. The basement is comprised of storage accessed from the garden that is deep enough to keep harvested herbs fresh and hold ice throughout the summer. The hallway leading into the backyard was topped with archways that opened out into a rock garden complete with a small tree set in the dead center. This transitioned out into the main gardens area. The upstairs area, which has been converted from a great many small research rooms to two large rooms comprise the living quarters. One is a guestroom and one is an open-aired living area which houses a low hearth and a couch before it. Trees which have been brought in and planted in spots where the floor has been removed spread their branches upwards giving denizens of the complex access to the upstairs both via the tree branches (when some of them are raccoons) and via the stairs that sweep upwards around the outside of the dome.

The Living Quarters A sweeping stairway runs around the left side of All Things Wild reaching up into the upper levels. Historically it lead to a large number of research rooms on the upper story. However, the newest tenants have remodeled the upstairs into a comfortable living quarters. Knocking down walls in order to create a three space area seemed to suit the denizens just fine. The stairway spills out into a sunken living area that lies equal to the tops of the trees growing within the dome. Branches overlap a low wall that separates the living area from the main atrium space of All Things Wild. Simplistic in design, the living area has a hand-made hearth which has assorted throw pillows piled beside it perfect for a kelvic and his bondmate to curl up on after a hard days work. A low couch is pushed back from the hearth and comfortably seats three. The couch looks professionally made while the rest of the furniture, mainly bookcases and low tables, have a rough-hewn homemade look to them. While not exactly professional, each piece looks cleverly put together with both thought to function and appeal placed into its design. Brig, the Master of the Tinkering Shop, often fills free time utilizing windfall trees and stumps to form natural looking pieces to add to his home both for his and Haeli's pleasure. A large desk, carefully kept neat, graced the far all. It's end was pushed up against the crystal walls so that both sides could be accessed separately and used at the same time. Haeli used it more than Brig, though Brig was prone to lingering when and only when he forgot Haeli was more than likely to set him to work on either his figuring or alphabet. Little touches fill the space, namely dried flowers framed in crudely fashioned Brig-made frames on the wall. Vases of flowers or wild grasses - depending on the season - grace low tables. All the containers were unique, unusual, and thought-provoking. These tables are also decorated with knit-knacks roughly the size a coon could pilfer on his journeys. A fossilized seashell rests on one shelf while a particularly beautiful piece of agate graces another. Each seem to be a token of affection and appreciation. At the same time, everything upstairs seems to be arranged so that access can be gained both by a human and a raccoon. The doors that lead to both the guest room and the main sleeping quarters of Haeli and Brig had equally small coon-sized doors leading into them as well. Trees were trimmed so that their branches overhung the low wall to where a coon could avoid the stairs if he so choose too and climb a tree to go to bed. Inside planted trees that were too far apart had either thick ropes or rope bridges linking them together at their tops, discretely tucked into the foliage. The setup was perfect for a four-legged masked bandit to patrol the shop at any given time at every given vantage point. The guest room was sparse, decorated only with a series of stuffed pallets and a trunk for storage. The master bedroom held only a large bed, a low table. A wardrobe graced the room along with another chest. Furs were piled up on the bed, carefully cured so that the skins didn't go to waste from the animals who's meat both the denizens had eaten. Overall the upstairs was warm, welcoming, and inviting to those that loved nature. To those more accustomed to city life, the place would feel decidedly feral. The Garden The hallway through All Things Wild lead directly out into a small tidy-kept rock garden with a small tree planted at its center. Haeli knew the tree itself was the offspring of the mountain oak residing in the larger part of the garden. It grew, biding its time, until such a time as it was required to preside over the sacred space Haeli had created in the back of the old observatory's grounds. Past an archway of wood that Brig had fashioned after learning to work wood on small things like frames for the upstairs lies a wilder garden and the main green expanse of All Things Wild. Much like a swamp, ever possible inch of space was planted and cultivated with herbs, vines, flowers, and things that flavored or scented the world. Even a small stream that ran through the back of the property has been dammed up in dug out ponds so water gardens could be put in and things from the Gyvaka that would make it through the far harsher winters up in the mountains of Lhavit. The garden itself was young, mostly transplants and starts, but in a season it would be lush and bursting with new life in the spring and summer months to come. One thoughtful night, soon after the pair had moved into the building, Brig worked half the night to haul three large stones up the mountain. Quietly and carefully he set them up in a remote corner of the garden where Haeli would have privacy to pray to her goddess and offer small sacrifices and preform rituals in her name. The Alter he set up was one of Haeli's favorite spots in the garden. She'd spend bells there, reflecting on life and dealing with her adjustment to both Lhavit and having Brig in her life.
