Located just south of the Sawmill on the coast, Standing Tall Builder's Emporium was purchase and constructed slowly in the Winter of 521 A.V. to open Spring of 522 on the anniversary of the Valterrian. It is a massive place that is well stocked with all kinds of supplies for builders and carpenters. Spanning two floors, Standing Tall truly rises in the air, a two-story masterpiece of engineering based on all the products only available in Syka. It has been built with the mindset that its retail space will showcase what the contractor that owns the place can provide. Thus, windows face the sea bathing the store in light that illuminates the tools that will make Sykan's lives easier.
The top floor is dedicated to offices, workshops, planning areas, and a large meeting room where clients can be escorted in and projects discussed. There is an impressive display of materials available that becomes a bit of a showcase displaying local woods, stone, and all sorts of collectible or harvestable materials.
Access to the top floor is by permission only.
The ground floor, which is still raised in case of high tides and flooding, is accessible by all. This sprawling area is filled with the retail space holding tools, materials, a small philtering lab for paints and paint tinting, and all sorts of other products. If Standing Tall doesn't carry the items, they can be ordered and acquired via either The Outpost or The Veronica's numerous trips.
Grand staircases made of polished wood and gleaming metal give people access from the beach or the cobbled pathway.
