“Circle of Life” is an area of the Artisan District of Daisygate.
The name is of newer origin and stems from how the shops are located with baby- and toy shops at the top and the funeral parlor “Last Light” at the bottom and the rest of the shops almost perfectly matches different life phases.
Top Circle
Here we find shops related to childhood and early years.
The Wee Wyrmling
Run by the chatty and (literally) warm Brass Dragonborn, Nimera Embertounge, here you find everything in maternity clothes and baby gear. Here you can find everything from the enchanted Lullabell to Familiar Plushies.
The Dandelion Toybox
Run by the always on the move busy Gnome Lolli Tinkergiggle. Whether “Tinkergiggle” is actually her surname, nobody knows, but it fits. Here you can find the fun Giggling Golems collectables as well as much-desired Socktopus.
The Learning Lantern
This bookshop / hang-out place for students is run by the large soft-spoken Orc Librarian Oaken aka “The Oak”. Oaken and his shop is a safe space for many students and the rumours that he is actually a skilled Necromancer adds to the intrigue.
Mid Circle
Mid Circle are the two roads running down either side of the large tavern in the center, The Copper Pixie.
The Copper Pixie
This friendly tavern is run by an odd fellow named Clank, a constructed being who claims to be of an artificial people known as The Warforged.
Clank came to Daisygate by chance and is obsessed with the fey myths surrounding the city.
Although some scholars might beg to differ, nobody knows more about the legends and history of Daisygate than Clank. He is a true fey fanboy.
Divine Petals Bridal
This amazing bridal shop is run by the retired Cleric, Vetra Windweaver and is one of the two best bridal shops in Daisygate.
A Stich of Starlight
This atelier prides itself of providing the most beautiful bridal wear and is one of the two best bridal shops in Daisygate.
The somewhat pompous Dorothea Sylveraine sees herself as the concierge of the fine folk of Daisygate.
Guilded Promises
Lowen Dastrél is a friendly and extremely talented jeweler. His shop Guilded Promises is located close to the two best bridal shops in Daisygate and the fact he has opened shop next to Divine Petals Bridal, has been an annoyance to Dorothea, the owner of A Stich of Starlight.
Rumours has is smitten with Vetra, the owner of Divine Petals Bridal… whether those are true or started by Dorothea is the topic of drunken bets at the Copper Pixie.
Feather & Fern
Feather & Fern provides potions and other magical services to the locals and is run by the Kenku Shaman Barnabeak, whose vocabulary is clearly influenced by a life at sea.
Barnabeak and his rival Asimar competes for the same clientele and it is not below him to badbeak Fenrir behind his back.
Fenrir’s Potions
Owned by the Asimar Druid Fenrir Camael, this shop provides potions, ointments and salves for all the unpleasant and embarrassing things in life.
Fenrir tend to keep himself in the back preferring to leave the storefront to his employees.
Fenrir’s Potions and the services of the Kenku Shaman Barnabeak overlaps and they compete for the same customers.
Lower Circle
This is where citizens of Daisygate can find services that become relevant in ones later years.
Veteran’s Quill
Run by the retired Dwarven adventurer Violetta Ironpresso, Veteran’s Quill offers writing services for memories, wills etc.
Her shop also has a small cafe serving delicious and excotic coffee. Her Eclipse Roast and Forgefire Blend are especially sought after. and her Moonglow Mocha is often enjoyed by the elderly folk visiting her cafe when the chess games drag out till late in the evening.
Violetta is a skilled chess player, but always lets her visitors win.
Last Light funeral services
The old Elf Thaimor Calodar is the somber owner of Last Light. Even for elves, Thaimor is surrounded with an aura of respect and mystery.
Some say he is in fact an ancient Winter Eladrin, an original elf from the long lost Feywild. an ancestor to modern day elves.
Other say he once lived in the Shadowfell were he served the House of the Gate.
Whatever is fact or fiction, Thaimor is a caring soul that the people left behind by lost loved ones can always count on.
