Rules and Regulations
We are a group of "mortals" who walk among the living and the dead. The normal and Supernatural. We, who exist in between. We have many a name, but we are formally known as "The Collective."
We mean no harm to you or yours. We exist to aid and offer words of wisdom. Knowledge from this region to the next, we are happy to share with others. Our wealth of knowledge is for all to ask about, within reason, of course.
Feel free to inquire more. We may offer opportunities for you to discover more if you know where to look.
There is to be no combat in or on the property of the establishment. If you must solve your issues wih violence, you may do so outside and off the property.
We ask that you are properly dressed before entering the shop. We are a luxury antiques store, and we would like to maintain such standards.
We do not condone or tolerate any form of bigotry, racism, sexism, etc. We are not above blocking and reporting people if we experience or see that behaviour.
Reminder that we are all people behind the screen and characters! If we feel uncomfortable with any rp or any topic, we have the right to end things. Please understand
Many of these characters touch upon dark and sensitive topics! Be warned and let any of us know about boundaries and topics you wish to avoid! We will also check in with you during rp, to ensure you are not being pressured.
Communication is key!! Please don't be shy to contact us, for rp or for questions. You wish to learn more about us and we want to give you the opportunity to do so!

THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE NOT FOR SALE
Spirit Lantern
- Emits a soft blue light, acting as dim light in the darkness
- Exposing the remains of a dead body to the light for a minute will allowed the owner and those around to see the final moments of the body.
- If used as a medium for necromancy, the owner is capable of speaking with the deceased soul for 10 minutes.
- Authorized use: Nihli Toqe (Headmistress)
Demon's Thread
- An endless spool of thread with an obsidian needed tied at the end.
- Can sew any material together so long as the needle can pierce through it.
- Once fully sewn, the thread will vanish and the material will be completely fused together seamlessly
- Authorized Use: Nihli Toqe (Headmistress)
Occult Compass
- Appears to be an average compass. Usually worn on Bram's right hip.
- Rather than north, needle points towards the nearest/strongest source of Void-tainted energy in a large radius.
- Because it defaults towards the most powerful concentration when multiple sources are in radius, lesser Voidsent and minions can slip past undetected.
- It is very unlikely that it will point towards Void-aspected customers, as a result.
- Authorized Use: Bram Bayard
