Twenty Days of Shops—Day Three—Dragon’s Bounty

A high-end jewelry store showcasing pieces adorned with precious gems and dragon-scale inlays.

Welcome to Day Three of our unique journey: Twenty Days of Shops.

Dragon’s Bounty is a renowned jewelry store located in the most prestigious part of the marketplace. Housed in a grand stone building adorned with ornate carvings of dragons and gemstones, it stands as a testament to the wealth and opulence of the city.

As customers step through the dragon scale-inlaid doors, they are greeted by a plush, ruby-red carpet leading to a selection of exquisite jewelry, showcased in glass cases bathed in magical illumination. From delicate bracelets studded with precious gems to intricate pendants boasting dragon-scale inlays, each piece is a work of art promising to elevate the wearer’s status and elegance.

The proprietor of the shop is a tall, dignified dragonborn named Zirathur the Radiant. Once a noble in a dragonborn clan, Zirathur is rumored to have been touched by the essence of a gold dragon, giving him a golden scale hue and a keen eye for precious metals and gemstones. Zirathur, both respected and slightly feared, is renowned for his shrewd business acumen and uncompromising standards of craftsmanship.

Each piece of jewelry in Dragon’s Bounty is meticulously crafted by the best artisans of the city, many of whom are dwarves descended from families of legendary smiths. Famed for incorporating dragon scales—ethically sourced during their natural shedding process—the store is a beacon of responsible opulence. The dragon scales, combined with gold, silver, and precious gems, create jewelry pieces that are not only visually stunning but also carry minor enchantments.

For the affluent and adventurous, Dragon’s Bounty offers unique custom services. Patrons have the unique opportunity to commission pieces using specific materials—perhaps scales from a dragon they’ve personally encountered, or gems unearthed during their quests. Such personal commissions often become the talk of the town, contributing to the store’s reputation.

Dragon’s Bounty can be a goldmine for adventure hooks. Your players could find themselves tasked with procuring a rare gem or dragon scale, hired to safeguard a precious artifact, or embroiled in intrigue when a coveted piece mysteriously disappears. The store and Zirathur provide a valuable glimpse into the luxurious, high-stakes world of the city’s elite and the extravagant lengths they might go for the sake of vanity or power.

Here are some examples of treasures that might be found at Dragon’s Bounty:

1. Amulet of the Dragonheart: A pendant featuring a red gem in the shape of a dragon’s heart. It grants the wearer resistance to fire damage.

4. Wyvern Wing Earrings: Delicate earrings crafted from tiny, iridescent scales of a dragon’s wing. When worn, they enhance the wearer’s hearing, providing advantage on Perception checks involving hearing.
5. Ring of Dragon’s Breath: A ring adorned with tiny dragon heads. Each dragon head is embedded with a gem representing a type of dragon, and the wearer can use it to cast a limited breath weapon attack of that dragon type.
6. Necklace of Draconic Majesty: This necklace, embedded with a large gem and tiny dragonscale fragments, enhances the wearer’s ability to interact with dragons, providing advantage on all Charisma-based checks when dealing with dragons.

Remember that these items, being crafted from dragon materials, might attract unwanted attention from dragons or dragon worshippers. The beauty and craftsmanship of these items, along with their powerful enchantments, make them highly sought after, but they are also likely to be incredibly expensive.
