A converted home given over to her enchanted trinkets, it stood across from the town's carpenter only for the span of [[Emberlight Vigil]] — for the shop was never truly a shop at all, but the workspace from which Belinda pursued a goal she had chased for years. ## Location & Geography Belinda's Chest sat in [[Lighthaven]], a misty town in the [[Darkwood]], directly across the street from the Timberhearth Workshop, the town's carpenter. A small home very recently converted into a shop, it was impossible to miss: bright pink letters spelled the name above the single doorway, and pastel-painted circles dotted the front wall, where every so often a ball would roll up the wall, pass through a circle, and burst a small shower of sparks. A little carved stone bird perched above the doorframe chirped "Visitor!!!" whenever the door opened. ## The Shop Inside, the front room was a cheerful clutter of small enchanted items, for [[Belinda Bubblegum]] was an experimenter who loved the little things as much as the great ones. Her speciality was turning mundane objects into enchanted tools that quietly helped people — the sort of place one might buy a hand towel that dried the dishes on its own. The back room, where she actually worked, was markedly more orderly than the chaos out front. Day to day the shop sold only minor trinkets, but Belinda would offer to craft a single *rare* magical item for anyone willing to help her with the task that had brought her to town. To that end she kept a device in the workshop built to drink the bursts of power the [[Emberspire]] released at the height of [[Emberlight Vigil]], channelling that energy directly into her crafting. ## A Temporary Front For all its trinkets and sparks, the shop was only ever a means to an end. Belinda had come to [[Lighthaven]] solely for the Vigil, whose Solstice surge was the power source she needed to build a teleportation rod calibrated to reach the hidden flying city of [[Arkangel]] — an ambition she had pursued for years and finally realised here. With that goal achieved, she packed up and moved on, leaving the pink-lettered building empty behind her. ## [[The Bloody Nails|Campaign: The Bloody Nails]] #### [[Session 29 - Lighthaven Awaits]] The party tracked [[Belinda Bubblegum]] from the local tavern to her shop, where she made her proposition: plant a siphoning device in the [[Emberspire]] during the festival, and she would craft them a rare magical item in return. #### [[Session 30 - The Darkwood Ambush]] Browsing Belinda's catalogue of enchantments, the party commissioned a rapier for [[Eryndor]], and [[Dondar]] used *Identify* on her custom piton, confirming it as a precision device built to siphon power from the Spire. #### [[Session 31 - The Emberlight Vigil]] At midnight, as the Vigil flooded Lighthaven with golden light, [[Dondar]] joined Belinda in the workshop and proved a prodigy of enchantment, the two channelling the Spire's siphoned power to forge the [[Emberblade]]. [[Kai]] purchased a custom-engraved Clockwork Amulet here for a hundred gold.
