Nara's Nocturn is a quaint little herbalist shop nestled deep within the heart of The Stillwoods, nestled in the great branches of The Crowned Grove. It's a modest structure built entirely from the surrounding flora and fauna, the walls made of woven vines and the roof from overlapping leaves. The shop exudes a sense of serenity and tranquility, making it a popular destination for those seeking natural remedies for their ailments. Upon entering the shop, the first thing one would notice is the aromatic scent of various herbs and plants that fills the air. Shelves line the walls, each stocked with jars and bottles filled with different colored powders, dried leaves, and flowers. The shelves are arranged in a way that is both pleasing to the eye and functional, with each jar and bottle labeled with a small tag bearing the name of the herb or plant within. Towards the back of the shop, there is a small workbench where Nara can often be found. Nara is an elder apeling with deep-set wrinkles and gnarled fingers, but her eyes still shine with the same youthful vigor as the day she was born. She is the owner of Nara's Nocturn and the herbalist responsible for creating the various tinctures and remedies that fill the shelves. Next to her workbench is a large, black iron cauldron, which is the centerpiece of the shop. The cauldron is always boiling with a thick, pungent liquid that emits a faint, eerie glow. This is Nara's Cauldron, and it is said to have the power to peer into the future of those who dare to look upon its surface. Many who visit Nara's Nocturn come specifically to see the cauldron and its prophetic powers. Those who are brave enough to gaze into the boiling liquid can see visions of their future, though these visions are often bleak and unsettling. Nara warns her visitors of the cauldron's powers and advises them to approach it with caution. Despite the ominous aura surrounding the cauldron, Nara's Nocturn is a place of healing and rest. The shop is a sanctuary where visitors can escape the troubles of the world and bask in the peacefulness of the Stillwood Forest. And with Nara's expertise and her powerful remedies, visitors can leave the shop feeling rejuvenated and renewed, ready to face whatever the future may hold.
