The Inkwell Atelier

Description
The Inkwell Atelier is a two-story bookstore that functions as Seth's home and the library for the youth of the academy. Filled with as much natural light as he could manage Seth was involved in every aspect of the design and organization of the store to be a welcoming, if eclectic, space. In the front of the store are various shelves and stacks that are always well maintained and well organized.

Small plaques label each section of note with an eye for foot traffic that puts books that require long reads or are less appealing topics towards the back and sides of the store. Novels and other materials that were more commonly desired were put more towards the center of the space where something different might catch the customer's eye. Materials like textbooks for students or things meant for the school are at the very back closest to a series of tables meant for study and general use.

Further back and at an angle, the store opens up from that study area into a secondary reading/prayer room with a shrine in it with more disorganized books.

The sales desk for the store is small and off to the side near the front of the store behind, which is a narrow staircase that leads to a private second floor.

The Shrine Room
The shrine space smells of old paper sandalwood incense and sunlight.

Books are piled along the perimeter with an area for sitting and contemplation. A window to one side that spills light on a statue of a beautiful woman in her twenties wearing the symbol of ioun reading a book with a slight smile. As she looks down at people in the room. This space like the rest of the store is well maintained in particular the statue at its center.

Seth's Loft
Seth's Loft is a small space with a bed, a small dresser, and a writing desk. The rest of the lion's share of the workspace is taken up by more unorganized books and the printing press he uses to print his novels and any other book he wished to copy.
