The Gnome Post

To the right, a mushroom tower sprouts from the studio wall — whimsical, crooked, and practical in ways only magic can be. Tiny mushroom mailboxes pop into existence along its surface, opening and closing of their own accord. Inside lives Inkbeard Vell, gnomish postmaster, customs official, and reluctant gatekeeper between worlds. He documents who passes through, what magics they carry, and whether the paperwork is a sacred duty or bureaucratic nonsense (the answer changes hourly).
