Hall of Wonders

Museum / Cultural Hub

Overview

The cultural heart of Remketh and home to an ever-growing collection of objects, discoveries, stories, and curiosities brought back by generations of wandering Tabaxi. Every returning wanderer is expected to offer something from their travels to the Hall, adding another small piece of the wider world to Remketh’s collective memory. The Hall also serves as the gathering place of the city’s elder council, making it both a celebration of Tabaxi wanderlust and one of Remketh’s most important civic institutions.

The Curator

Warforged – Keeper of the Hall

Created generations ago to catalogue the Hall’s ever-growing collection, the Curator remembers every object entrusted to his care: who brought it, where it came from, and why they chose it. His customary question to each returning wanderer is simply, “Why this?” Though built to preserve objects and records, centuries of listening to their stories have made him something far greater, the living memory of Remketh itself.
