Stolen Moments

Description
Stolen Moments serves as one of the few locations in Alfsos where art triumphs in importance over notions of strength and intellectual superiority. Here, paintings about different aspects of the world can be perused and purchased at one's own leisure. The business associated with Stolen Moments is very new, having only been established early Searing of the 120th Age of Steel.

The workshop is spacious but relatively empty, split into two primary rooms. The first room acts as a lobby and holds a number of finished paintings that can be purchased or simply observed in the moment. The lobby is also where most business transactions take place between the proprietor and the customer, meaning that they can typically be found here. A pair of glass windows at the front of the building provide passerby with the ability to look into the shop from the streets and see if there's anything they would like to purchase.

The backroom can only be reached from the lobby, and acts as the primary painting room. Here is where the magic of art occurs and new paintings are designed and created. Any customers with requests for paintings such as portraits or family images may bring their loved ones to the backroom to serve as models for the painting. While a chair has been provided for anyone who wishes to sit and rest throughout the process, any props that a person wishes to possess in their paintings need to be brought in with them. As such, it is not uncommon for someone in the backroom to enter carrying a prized object, a hunting trophy, or even a weapon.

A skylight has been provided in the backroom to fill it with light. When the light becomes so low that painting becomes difficult, then the shop is locked up and closed for the night. All of the paintings are stowed away in the backroom at this point, and the lockbox of coins is collected and emptied.
