Material Plane

When the Emporium arrives at a loca on, wagons carrying tents unload and are quickly set up. Other
wagons who's sides open up form a semi-circle around the tents to open their own side shows. In total,
the en re emporium can be set up or disassembled for travel in a ma er of a couple hours. The
arrangement remains pre y similar every me they set up. This arrangement creates a maze-like layout
which serves three purposes. First, it draws people in and makes the emporium seem larger than it
actually is, leading to a grander impression and reputa on. Second, it makes the emporium harder to
leave, ensuring people spend all the coin they are willing to before they go. And third, it ensures the
emporium's more secret a rac ons are not stumbled upon by those who do not go looking for them.

Run by a mysterious leader named "Mahadi". Mahadi is a charming human man who dresses in
flamboyant colors and takes a keen interest in personally welcoming guests into the emporium. The
emporium stays in a loca on as long as he deems, and will move at his direc on. The strange thing about
him though, is that while travelling he will disappear into his private wagon and refuses to be disturbed.
His driver, Maltha, will turn anyone away to make sure nobody disturbs his wagon.

In front of the sideshows are the games. These games change on a seasonal bases, but at most mes the
games include a crossbow target range, a ring toss, a roule e wheel, a card game, a strength test and a
figh ng ring where a re red prizefighter takes on challengers for a modest fee. The prizes for success in
these games are always cheaply made souvenirs, though they are rarely given out.

Belt of sacrifice
During a short rest, the
wearer may spend a
hit die. An ally within 5
feet regains hit points
instead of the wearer.
Requires Attunement.

Port-a-Forge:
Comprised of intricate
expanding slots and
magical heating coils,
this item can be used
by a skilled blacksmith
as a forge after an
hour time spent setting
up the forge and
allowing it to heat up.
Stowing the
Port-a-Forge also
takes an hour. While
stowed, the forge can
be worn on the back
like a backpack using
some built in straps.
Entangled amulets:
These amulets always
have a matching twin.
When two creatures
are wearing these
amulets, they can be
activated. For one
minute, if the two
wearers of the amulets
can see each other
and are within 60 feet
of each other, they
may cast touch range
spells as though they
were within each
other’s space. Either
creature can choose to
swap places with the
twin, ending the effect.
They recharge after a
long rest spent within
10 feet of one another.
