The Diamond of Kalea is located on Kalea's extreme west coast and called as such because its completely made of a crystalline substance called Skyglass. Home of the Alvina of the Stars, cultural mecca of knowledge seekers, and rife with Ethaefal, this remote city shimmers with its own unique light.

Healing Hands

Situated to the left of the Sundial Circle, Healing Hands is Lhavit's most well-known and frequented herbalism shop. It's a small building, but its plentiful windows and glass doors makes it seem more spacious than it is; the windows are open whenever the weather permits, and light is always coming in from the outside to illuminate the shop.

Upon entering, one is hit with the strong but fragrant scent of various herbs, their scents mingling; surprisingly, the smell is not unpleasant. Various fresh herbs and plants hang from the ceilings, and jars of dried and ground herbs line shelves, along with various tinctures, salves, and other medicines and herbalism essentials.

The front of the shop features a counter, and a table that is almost always set with a basket of fresh fruit and bread; being so near the Sundial Circle, the owner of the shop, Kita, has taken it upon herself to provide these small snacks, complimentary for customers, for those who wish to stop by the shop during lunch or dinner hours and then relax at the Sundial. Someone is always present at the front counter, ready to help customers.

While the front of the shop is open and well-lit, the back is dark, with any windows covered; herbs that require less sunlight are stored on shelves in this area of the shop. Healing Hands carries a large variety of herbs and medicines; those common in and around Lhavit are always in plentiful supply, but the store even carries some rarer herbs that are more common elsewhere.

Kita is an older woman, who has been running Healing Hands since she was in her early 20s. She is always dressed finely, her hair neatly brushed and tied back and her face well-made up; she keeps up with her appearance, and is a frequent visitor to the Starglow Spa.

Talkative and open, Kita has no troubles stopping customers, especially returning ones, for lengthy chats; she can sometimes forget herself, and more than once someone has had to interrupt her to excuse themselves, but Kita never takes it badly.

She is kind and gentle, often smiling, and encourages customers to take a piece of fruit or slice of bread with them when leaving the store; she started the tradition so that people spending their breaks from work at the shop could have time to relax in the park and still get some food, thus not having to worry about rushing back to work.

Kita used to run the herbalism shop with her husband, but he passed away recently; her son took it upon himself to help her out with the shop after his father's death, despite her protests. Secretly, Kita couldn't be more pleased to have her son working with her, and she tends to fuss over him.

Remas is Kita's son; still young, he was figuring out his own way in life up until recently. He worked at the Obsidian Club as a bouncer, and was attending the Dusk Tower as a student to learn auristics; but suddenly and recently, his father passed away, leaving his mother alone and without help managing Healing Hands.

Having always been close with his mother, Remas took it upon himself to quit his job and pause his studies so that he could help her run the herbalism shop, ignoring her protests. While he doesn't mind helping his mother, he is somewhat eager to be able to resume his studies at the Dusk Tower.

Remas is much quieter than his mother; she tends to deal with the customers, while Remas simply keeps the shop tidy. However, he will sometimes manage the front counter when Kita is otherwise busy.
