Silk & Grace

Silk & Grace is a tailor shop in the settlement of Freehearth. In addition to offering garment creation and adjustment services, it also offers teaching in matters of etiquette, as directed by the half-troll Alzara Yewdorei.

Description
With growing interactions with the wider Kingdoms, Alzara sought to help out the settlement of Freehearth by falling back on knowledge gained in her prior life in the south, primarily through her father Xitho's interactions with merchants in Port Kolsa, in which he would present himself in a courtly manner, despite selling simple alms of wool, milk and mutton. Any individual could be courteous, regardless of their station, their race, and these are the ideals that Alzara hopes to help foster in the population.

Construction was completed less than a year after the founding of the settlement of Freehearth, the Silk & Grace is located on the eastern edge of the primary town square, nestled between grove, tavern and blacksmith. Originally intended to be a place to put idle hands to work, the Silk & Grace's scope was quickly expanded during the construction process by Alzara Yewdorei to include a sitting room for patrons, a mock dining hall and a simple set of lodgings furnished very simply within the timbers of the loft space above. While much of the work carried out by the Silk & Grace are repairs - achieved by both use of the arcane and needle & thread - as the population has grown further interest in traveller's and fine clothing has likewise grown, and so the Silk & Grace has adapted to meet the demand, pending further acquisition of fabrics and materials.

Staff
Alzara is yet to recruit any additional help at present to aid her in the operation of the Silk & Grace, preferring to keep herself busy during opening hours by shouldering the extent of the responsibility herself.
