Grand Antiques

History

Founded by Lord Everoix of House Grandeaux, Grand Antiques is the Holy See's premier destination for those with an eye for the exotic and a need for that which is rarely seen. Priceless artifacts plucked from the depths of long-forgotten kingdoms, magical marvels recovered from the not-so-recently deceased, and more wild wonders can be found lining every table and shelf of this veritable vault of valuables.Now helmed by one Ser Jawn Sunborne, the Lord's successor, the Grand has seen a facelift and a breath of new life driven into the lungs of the storied structure, and her doors are open for any and all with a taste for treasure and the coin to afford it.The Grand houses everything from out-of-print tomes to ancient jewelry to all manner of enchanted items. Items of a more dangerous or destructive nature are available to the right buyers- but you'll need to ask the staff.The inventory at the Grand is ever-changing, as its owner and proprietor is a treasure hunter by trade; a profession that is always seeking clients. Searching for something that isn't on our shelves? In need of assistance acquiring your quarry? Inquire with Ser Sunborne, and your rare find will be yours; for the right price.

Treasure Hunts

As a trained professional, Jawn knows when a particular quarry is more than any one man can handle- even him. When one of these leads crosses his desk, he will assemble a team of adventurers to tackle the task, and where better to find those with a nose for treasure than in a shop full of unique valuables? Jawn and his companions will follow the leads he has acquired (and any provided by the rest of the hunting party) and handle whatever challenges they face- ensuring a handsome payday for everyone involved.

The Grand Antiques management assumes no responsibility for loss of belongings, limbs, or life while on expeditions. Adventure at your own risk.

[Grand Antiques is currently preparing our Treasure Hunt Expedition service! Please look forward to it!]

Hooks

Being a collection of magical artifacts and rare tomes, any scholar or mage would find something in their domain of study within the Grand's walls. The shop's previous owner and founder clearly had a fondness for certain types of magic, and was a name of no small renown within Ishgard's walls. He hasn't been seen in quite some time; with Jawn simply filling in and renovating the shop with Astraea's help.Jawn's other venue venture, the Whisky Ginger dojo, is home to a variety of talented fighters and warriors- and warriors need equipment. Jawn has come to learn much and more over his time supervising fights and sparring matches, and can help anyone looking to master their martial prowess with accessories and weapons that may give a magical edge or with items that may prove a hindrance to their foes. The Grand houses enchanted gear of all sorts, and those that are trustworthy and familiar to the staff may see some more potent inventory...Certain items in the venue give off a strange aetheric feeling, as if they are not of this star... or are perhaps from a different reflection of the very same. Any with history or knowledge of these reflections or with strong aethersight may be able to feel the difference; not that Jawn or Astraea are any wiser to the true nature of these items.

OOC & Rules

Thank you for stopping by Grand Antiques and for visiting our carrd! What started as a way for Jawn to show off his in-game trophy collection and Astraea to show off her housing skills has blossomed into a full-on lore-friendly roleplay home for our characters and we're excited to welcome you.
We're always looking to meet new faces and make new connections with different, interesting characters and we're eager to explore character hooks and ideas that may not gain traction at other types of venues.We're a pop-up venue with a small staff, so we do not currently keep a regular schedule, but you can find us working weekly at the Whisky Ginger and visiting places like the Raven's Nest and the Lion's Maw.
