Nestled in the heart of Kugane and owned by the eccentric Hachi, The Buzzing Hive is a flourishing corner shop that sells premium, locally sourced honey and bee products, as well as seasonal flora. Whereas entertainment is taken in lieu of payment during markets and festivals, patrons of The Buzzing Hive are expected to trade in coin, items, or information--or perhaps a favor if the owner is inclined. Aside from running the shop, Hachi has other business ventures and is currently the communications director for the Sacred Oak foundation; a charity organization that funds orphanages around the world.

The Buzzing Hive currently supplies Shingetsu with honey and beeswax, with Hachi also agreeing to scout for able bodies experienced with childcare.

A shoppe filled with all manner of alchemical concotion and sweet treat, the walls and display cases seem to be lined further with pomanders. A long forgotten art of Gelmorra.

Those adept in the use of aether, or having frequented the shoppe so often will find locating the physical cottage in the woods quite easy.

Althea is a Knight-Captain from Alexandria. After a series of events, she left the displaced world with her daughter in tow, as she sought to experience the world outside the Levin Dome. She has been attempting to make ends meet and live off the land more effectively. Althea is a compassionate person who will eagerly help whomever she can, but also a fiery temper when people begin to harass or bring harm to her allies.
