Wyrmworks

The Wyrmworks was a shop in Silverymoon that specialized in dragon parts and maps related to dragon locations and lairs. It also had a magically animated red dragon head for rent. This shop was established circa the Year of the Unstrung Harp, 1371 DR.

Location
This establishment was located on Many Cats Lane, a side street in the Northbank section of Silverymoon.

Structure
The building was almost four stories tall because the windowless ground-floor shop area had a vaulted dome for a ceiling. Above this were two more stories that had walk-out balconies and bay windows. The exterior was made of stone and had slate roofs. Off to the left side was an attached workshop. A large sign, ornately carved like a coiled dragon, hung out front advertising "The Wyrmworks".

Interior
Upon entering the shop, there was an aisle that led to a central, ring-shaped counter where a salesperson was on hand to describe the myriad of small dragon parts kept behind glass. Customers could walk completely around this counter or branch off in various directions to other corners of the showroom floor. The place was lit by lamps that hung from the high, vaulted ceiling, interspersed among dragon skulls that were suspended by sturdy ropes. There were three exits from the main shop. To the left was a door to the workshop; directly opposite the main entrance was a door the back room storage area; and to the right was the staircase down to the cellar and up to the living quarters.

A huge blue dragon wing was fully unfurled and attached to the back wall starting above the door to the stairs and ending above the door to the workshop. Below this leather curtain a dozen maps were mounted on the walls, each one purporting to show the way to a different dragon lair. Landmarks along the way were highlighted by circular vignettes painted directly on the colorful maps. Below each map was small lamp with mirrors to concentrate the light and show off the works of art. The lamps were mounted on racks that held rothé-horn tubes containing smaller and less fancy copies of the big maps for sale.
