pandora's box?

[ ❕ ] A gate has opened nearby.

Whether you find it down a shady side-street, on an open field while travelling, or nested in a distant mountain village somewhere, there is a doorway cut into the air that shimmers faintly. It leads into a very warm room with a forge, a shop counter, and so many enchanted gold items hanging on the walls that the magically-inclined may develop a noticeable headache.

A man dressed in red stands behind the counter, using a loupe to closely examine a shiny ring.

The emporium is open.
[ Some notes:
-This shop has: enchanted gold items, contracts, and a general sense of unease
-This post doubles as a RP starter and AMA - meaning you don't have to roleplay! I'll answer basic questions, too. Stuff like "would my magic-sensing character detect X/Y/Z" is fine, as are direct questions about Turo himself. I may dodge some questions for plot reasons but don't let that scare you from asking. Consider marking your starter posts OOC/IC but don't worry too much
-You can ask about his employees and other things too but IC answers will always be from Turo's POV
-What happens here isn't necessarily canon to the "official" storyline, but it is canon for whatever meta is worth (no you can't kill Turo off permanently, but yes you probably can learn things about him, etc)

I don't know what I'm doing either ]
