The Shops at Gloaming Heights

Post by Strawberry »

Set within the ground floor of the Flats at Gloaming Heights, the lobby level shops offer residents and passersby alike a number of amenities and services.

Twilight Trim

A boutique salon and barber shop, Twilight Trim offers everything from haircuts and colors to face shaves and other pampering. Available for wedding parties, school formals, and birthday parties. Owned by Océane Robineau, Siren and Master Stylist.

Intergalactic Adventures Inc.

Owned and operated by the time traveler Osporgatromsed (Or just "Oz" as he prefers to be called) and his dwarven wife, Dorhilda, Intergalactic Adventures Inc can get you anywhere in the multiverse at the best price or your next adventure is 50% off. Stop by to book everything from day trips to nearby galaxies to extended ventures to far reaching realms. No locale is too far!

Tsundoku Books & News

For all the books and news you'll never read, Tsundoku is a hoard of books, magazines, and papers from Rhydin and beyond. Typically run by the owner herself, an old dragon named Yrli the Calm, at the behest of her youngest broodlings who have encouraged her to begin parting ways with her massive hoard of books. Yrli can be found in both smaller gold dragon form or in a polymorphed humanoid form of a regal, black haired woman of Chinese descent.

Starlight Cafe

A bakery and cafe run by the triplet kitsune sisters, Eizuko, Saikami, and Tezuru, they import the finest teas and coffees from the multiverse (with a little help from Oz and Dorhilda). They bake some of their own goods, but far more often than not, prefer to feature the bakers of Twilight Isle and Rhydin City by stocking their wares whenever possible. The cafe is full of cozy nooks, tables, and squishy bean bag chairs so you can always find a comfy spot to settle and enjoy your goodies.

Sunny & Luna's

The corner store of the Gloaming Heights building, Sunny & Luna's serves as a neighborhood bodega stocked with snacks, drinks, and grocery staples as well as a small deli counter where Sunny, a faded sunsprite, makes a mean chopped cheese sandwich for a pittance of a price. Luna, Sunny's moonsprite platonic life partner, hands out fruit and saltwater taffy to the children that visit, and always has a cheery song or joke for those she rings out at the main counter.

El Thirteen

Though not technically included in the Shops at Gloaming Heights, El Thirteen on the 13th floor of the building is a draw all of its own. El Thirteen is a top of the line eatery featuring Rhydinian Riviera cuisine from the coastal regions to the south of the city and along the desert coast of Cadentia. Find everything from tapas styled shareable appetizers to individual servings of both surf and turf and vegetarian dishes, all sources from local Rhydinian fishers, ranchers, and farmers.
