Caldemons Apothecary

Welcome to Caldemons Apothecary. The Apothecary Shop is a rather large, open room with two windows in the back wall and a door between them, which leads to the herb garden in the back which can be seen through the windows. On low beams on one side of the room hang the various dried herbs. Fresh herbs are picked at the time of purchase from the garden. Near one of the windows is a wooden table surrounded by chairs, a shelf nearby holds many ancient tomes and scrolls, and there is usually a dedicant student studying there, or perhaps an ovate in the green robes of the initiate to druidism. Often, a bardic student, dressed in blue robes, is practicing his or her craft. And those who have studied for years and achieved the highest ranking wear the white robes of a druid. On painted wooden tables lay the various jars, items, and pouches that the High Druidess has for sale. In a box under the High Druidess' own desk are the gemstones and enchanted jewelry and stones.
