Part of her power is what gives her immunity to drugs, poisons, and alcohol.

The other part of her power deals with altering the nature of other things into something they are not. As this ability isn’t particularly strong, she’s limited to converting harmful energy (like electricity, static or otherwise) into less harmful energy, purifying water (always useful when you’re with other people), and creating interesting and often explosive compounds from common household items. Examples of this would be taking, say, a cup of flour and adding an herb and a bit of her Power and causing a large explosion. Most of her mixes explode. Suffice it to say, she’s not popular in the kitchen.<br>
She’s been told that she should eventually be able to do larger scale conversions, like turning fruit into vegetables, or base metals into noble ones, but that’s not as big a deal to her as the other sages would think. While on the one hand, she likes explosions, the idea of using those explosions offensively, or in any manner that involves combat, really makes her nervous, especially since it can be exhausting and time consuming to get the mixes right. If it came right down to it and her powers were needed in a combat situation, she’d likely sit down one evening and fill glass vials with substances she has experimented with and carry them with her to throw like grenades.

Keverynn is no stranger to traveling musicians and performers, but prior to the establishment of the Emporium, there was no large scale organized traveling troupe.<br>
Given her hobbies, most people think that she’s a very timid, calm person. This is, however, completely untrue. She enjoys a good party and is quite the connoisseur of wines and other forms of alcohol. She swears like a ship full of drunken sailors and often behaves more like a man than a woman, despite her preference for skirts. She likes men, but she’s not very interested in forming a relationship with one. She highly doubts that she ever will have such a desire. In her mind, there is only one man in her life and that’s Kal Atlien, the protecting deity of Zalityu. While she enjoys an occasional fling with men she encounters, she is completely devoted to her duties as Sage.
Durani Feldaninn, a trained musician from [[Arrack-Ley]], was discontented with life. It was difficult for him to find long term paying jobs. Everything he found that matched his skills only wanted a musician for a few days at most. Complaining about the situation only got him replies along the lines of if you don't like it, go somewhere else. This led him to spending the last bit of his saved money on a beaten up wagon, some food, and an old horse no one wanted anymore and setting off across [[Tula'tevenn Province]]. He sold his musical skills for a time, making just barely enough to keep himself and his old horse fed.<br>
<br>
Over time, he encountered others like him and they banded together, increasing the variety of acts the troupe could perform. It offers music, plays, poetry readings, displays of acrobatics, and on occasion feats of magic. When they have [[siathi]] among their number they add fancy flying to their roster.<br>

The Emporium of Wonder  is a tight knit troupe of performers that travel around Keverynn. They're often confused for Nomads  given their chosen lifestyle, but they have no affiliation with any of the five Nomadic tribes. <br>
Their vehicles are collectively known as the Wagons of Wonder. There are a total of seven of them in the troupe, each one identical in appearance. The troupe goes to great pains to make sure that the horses pulling the wagons are as similar in appearance as possible. Their life on the road isn't conducive to breeding their own otherwise that would be a viable option.<br>
<br>
The wagons themselves are boxy in shape with slightly curved roofs. The exterior of all the wagons are painted with a motif of the three moons on one side and the words 'Emporium of Wonder' on the other. The wagons have no windows but the back of the wagon has a door that splits in two. It can be used to exit the vehicle or to just allow natural light in. During travel time, these doors are locked shut.<br>
<br>
The interiors are allowed to be personalized to the tastes of their occupants. There are storage spaces for personal items, a lockable cabinet for food items, and spaces where bedrolls can be laid out.

The wagons serve as living quarters for the performers. Each one has a small wood burning stove for warmth and cooking and a hook on the ceiling where oil lamps can be placed when the wagon isn't in transit.

Abilities

Physical Abilities: She is more or less tone deaf. She cannot get drunk or intoxicated by any means.
Mystical Abilities: She learned, quite by accident, that she isn’t vulnerable to poisonous substances. She doesn’t even seem to suffer hangovers after a night of heavy drinking. After some testing, she figured out that she’s immune to the effects of not only alcohol but any of the common poisonous substances. She hasn’t been able to get her hands on any of the extremely dangerous substances, but she’s reasonably sure that they’d have little to no effect on her.

Part of her power is what gives her immunity to drugs, poisons, and alcohol. It’s purely unconscious, an instinct of her body, that takes the bad stuff going in to her body and converts it into something her body needs. The chances of her ever contracting food poisoning or acquiring a food based allergy are slim to none.
The other part of her power deals with altering the nature of other things into something they are not. As this ability isn’t particularly strong, she’s limited to converting harmful energy (like electricity, static or otherwise) into less harmful energy, purifying water (always useful when you’re with other people), and creating interesting and often explosive compounds from common household items. Examples of this would be taking, say, a cup of flour and adding an herb and a bit of her Power and causing a large explosion. Most of her mixes explode. Suffice it to say, she’s not popular in the kitchen.
She’s been told that she should eventually be able to do larger scale conversions, like turning fruit into vegetables, or base metals into noble ones, but that’s not as big a deal to her as the other sages would think. While on the one hand, she likes explosions, the idea of using those explosions offensively, or in any manner that involves combat, really makes her nervous, especially since it can be exhausting and time consuming to get the mixes right. If it came right down to it and her powers were needed in a combat situation, she’d likely sit down one evening and fill glass vials with substances she has experimented with and carry them with her to throw like grenades.

History

Given her hobbies, most people think that she’s a very timid, calm person. This is, however, completely untrue. She enjoys a good party and is quite the connoisseur of wines and other forms of alcohol. She swears like a ship full of drunken sailors and often behaves more like a man than a woman, despite her preference for skirts. She likes men, but she’s not very interested in forming a relationship with one. She highly doubts that she ever will have such a desire. In her mind, there is only one man in her life and that’s Kal Atlien, the protecting deity of Zalityu. While she enjoys an occasional fling with men she encounters, she is completely devoted to her duties as Sage.
