A stately, three-story town house, the third floor of which has been converted into a greenhouse. Its translucent glass walls allow anyone on the street to see the rainbow of flowers blossoming within.
A wood-elf sits on a tall stool near the window, braiding together a wreath of herbs and flowers. Potions are stacked up on shelves lining the walls, intermixed with strange herbs you haven't seen before. As you enter, a powerful, bitter smell assaults your senses. It doesn't smell of any one thing in particular, but of many things all at once.
"Good to see you again," the wood-elf says to you, with a wry smile. "Quite a lot of excitement over there, it seems."
