Master of Ceremonies
There are many Relics, magical items and other similar whatnots in this City. Some of those might be lost or hidden in its farthest recesses; others could fall into hands of a used-to-be unsuspecting Sleeper, now an awaken Rift who’s now ready to use its powers for better or worse. But most of the Relics which aren’t the first nor the latter end up here: in L’Estrange Antiques.
Owned by an archeologist, scholar and a legendary gunslinger Declan L’Estrange, this cozy antique shop is hidden so well in the maze of Old Quarter’s streets that only those truly persistent can find it. These lucky ones can browse a selection of items ranging from completely mundane to outright surreal, but don’t let the appearances fool you. That ancient-looking vase might just be another Chinese forgery while the race car you accidentally dropped from the shelf could actually hold powers far beyond your imagination.
Our Crew first encountered this place during E01: L’Estrange Dreams when they got dragged into a battle between L’Estrange and a man called Lin Ayuma (seconded by a Rift they’ve learnt to call Nightmare) over a Relic of a Genie in a bottle. And as you might remember, that encounter didn’t end particularly well. Makes me wonder what the next one is going to be like…
