Perched on the edge of the legendary Varnak Hollow Bazaar on Verokha Prime, Ketra's Wonder Emporium began its tale centuries ago when a mysterious traveler known only as Ketra arrived with an array of inexplicable goods. Some whispered that these items were artifacts hailing from a time before the Sundering, while others believed they were alchemical constructs of fascinating deceit. Ketra herself revealed little of her past, cultivating a reputation as a collector of not only rare relics but also seemingly mundane objects imbued with untold histories.
Her solitary stall, standing resilient amid rampant skepticism, quickly became a beacon of wonder. It was renowned for unveiling treasures that often shifted the fates of its patrons—from exiled lords to miners longing for a miracle amid the somber rhythm of asteroid cycles. Pan-galactic myths even suggest that hidden among her wares is a fragment of the original Spike Drive technology, a tale so tantalizing yet never proven, ensuring that daring fortune seekers continue to circle back with hope in their hearts.
One day, Ketra vanished as mysteriously as she had appeared, leaving behind her stall in the care of a trusted attendant named Eoban. Eoban, ever faithful to Ketra’s eccentric spirit, keeps the emporium a relic wonderland shrouded in esoterica, dreams, and lost hopes. He even claims that if one visits the stall with an open heart, the wind itself—whispering echoes of Ketra’s voice—might reveal a treasure worth a lifetime.
