Kaela, the Sculptor, sells a variety of statues from her small studio in Shallam. Since her larger works are quite detailed and justifiably more expensive, Kaela finds that her smaller, cheaper granite gnome statue, featuring a cheerful gnome leaning on a mushroom and wiggling his bare toes in the air, is the one most commonly purchased from her workshop north of Scythia Square.

Wares

Blue glass statue of a unicorn - 85000gp
Cast entirely of glass with a bluish tint, this unicorn stands the size of a horse. Its every hair has been etched into the surface of the dark glass, sending sparkling blue light in all directions, and its tail and mane are as detailed as its body. It rears up slightly, horse's head lowered and thrust forward, with its beautiful horn pointed forward, ready to charge. The horn itself is magnificient, for its glass is not just blue but of golden and pink and clear glass swirling together, focussing the light at its tip.
Granite statue of an angel - 75000gp
Like the priests' guardian angels, this statue is roughly humanoid. The angel balances on one toe, the other leg stretched out as if to leap into the air. To mimic the coruscations of angels, the sculptor has studded the granite with tiny pieces of quartz and glass, and in the daytime, these catch the sunlight and scatter it everywhere, filling the air with tiny rainbows.
Granite statue of a phoenix - 80000gp
Granite flames form tiny peaks along the ground, the stone as slim and delicate as actual flames. A bird is in the process of rising from the flames, its head and beak pointed upward, its granite-feathered wings only beginning to unfold. Only half of the bird has risen, but that half reaches nearly a metre high. The span of the wings, even in their halfway-folded state, is impressive, and wider than all but the fattest of men.
Full-sized statue of a gilded dragon - 100000gp
Like any Achaean dragon, this statue is monstrously large. Its powerful, leathery wings are outstretched, exposing the glinting scales of its back and its large, curled tail. Its head is proud, and the snout is ajar, exposing the rows of teeth. Intended to depict a Golden Dragon, the entire statue is gilded, and the scales are shaped so as to play tricks with the light, casting an iridescent sheen over the entire body.
Granite gnome - 25000gp
A tall, peaked cap rises from the head of this gnome, its point falling ever so slightly forward. His face is round, with full cheeks, and a thick, tufted beard trickles down from his chin to the middle of his torso. His body, too, is rounded and fat, in simple pants and tunic. He lies on his side, leaning against a mushroom of the same plain granite, his bare feet wiggled in the air. His eyes twinkle with a perpetual smile.
