Overview
Located in the heart of Ishgard, The Enchanted Boutique is an exclusive shoppe with a focus on magical curios. It has a little bit of everything, but its specialties are rosaries and custom enchantments.Please check out our curios and services for more information, or ask one of our staff members. Why settle for a mundane solution when you can add a spark of magic to your life?
The Enchanted Staff
Miss Gwenolie Theroux: Gwenolie is the shoppe's main clerk and enchantress. Some may consider her a little eccentric, but her enthusiasm for finding magical solutions to mundane problems knows no bounds. Easily bored, she is always looking for other professionals to theorize about new enchantments with.Miss Amanette Ouraux: Amanette is a jewelmaker that specializes in the making of rosaries and pomanders. She loves to challenge herself with intricate and elaborate designs, which earned her the wroth of an (in her opinion) overly zealous Inquisitor who claimed such to be mere vanity not suitably directed towards prayer aids.
The headstrong jewelmaker has since opted to travel to Ul'dah to learn more about the crafting of actual jewelry so she may experiment to her hearts content without stepping on any religious toes.Madam Maudine Dubois: Madam Dubois is an independent soothsayer that rents the apartments above the shoppe. She offers divination readings for those that would like a little extra guidance in their lives. Appointments can be made via The Enchanted Boutique.

Enchanted Guest Staff
A warm welcome: The Boutique sometimes serves as a haven for those in need. They are not a charity or guesthouse, but they won't turn away old friends and others who ask for a place to stay. Guests usually end up helping in the shoppe if the stay is an extended one.Madam Winter Prairie: Winter is an old friend of Madam Maudine's who is currently visiting. This Viera woman sometimes struggles with the unspoken rules of Ishgard, not really understanding why things have to be 'so stuffy all the time'. She brings some levity to an otherwise rather self-serious place, but has so far not found a good 'fit' when it comes to work. She therefor acts as a bit of a Jack-of-all-trades until she can find something that sticks, or her adventurous spirit takes her elsewhere. Whichever comes first.Mx Cillenne Rose: Cillenne is an Elezen from Gridania with a talent for enchantment. While they are part of the CETEA sky pirate crew, a recent encounter with another dangerous illusionist has seen them somewhat adrift. They were welcomed to stay at the Boutique by Miss Gwen, and helpt with enchantments.

Rosaries
The Enchanted Boutique has a large variety of rosaries in stock at any time and for all price ranges. The simplest are crafted with wooden beads, while the more traditional (and expensive) types are made with gems or elemental crystals inlaid in mythril, silver, and rarely, gold.All our rosaries except the wooden ones are enchanted to keep their luster through many twelveturns of use and are melded with piety materia that will help focus one's mind on prayer.For those not of Ishgardian descent: rosaries are often mistaken for religious jewelry by those not intricately familiar with Ishgardian tradition. Please keep in mind that they are a prayer aid and should be respected as such. If in doubt whether or not it is appropriate to purchase, gift, or wear a rosary, feel free to inquire with our shoppe clerk.
Styles
Traditional: These rosaries have the shape of a necklace and often show the Sign of the Spear or a depiction of Halone. Commonly carried by the faithful.Bracelet: Bracelet style rosaries are smaller and often lack the idol that traditional rosaries depict. This style is more commonly worn, though often underneath long sleeves directly on the skin.Rings: Small rosaries that can be worn as a ring for an easily accessible and subtle prayer aid. Used by Knight and Brumeborn alike, though for widely different reasons. Poorer folk often go for wooden rosary rings due to their relatively cheap cost, while Knights may wear the ring for how easily one may carry it upon the field with less risk of damaging or losing it.
Please note that the above information about rosaries is a combination of in-game lore and real-life use information. Feel free to ignore our interpretation entirely if you have a different view on how they are used in FFXIV.

Tips from our staff
Amanette: "While some may be happy with a simple pre-made rosary, I always advise commissioning one if one has the time and money. That way I can craft one that fits your personal taste and needs perfectly. Why settle for less in your devotion?"
Charms
Charms are small decorative trinkets that are commonly worn on a bracelet. In their purest form, they are symbolic and meaningful to the owner, who can mix and match different charms on their bracelet to customize it to their personal style.Here at Enchanted we go several steps beyond that. The first step is the ability to commission individual charms so one can have something truly unique to them. The other is that we encourage people to choose specific enchants and glamours that serve their needs.
Materials
Our charms are usually shaped from high quality silver, but mythril and (rose) gold are favoured to a lesser degree as well.Depending on the materials chosen and our jewelmaker's availability, it can take up to a moon for an individual charm to be crafted.Below you'll find our most commonly crafted and sold charm styles.
Halonic: Most people choose to have at least one Halonic charm on their bracelet, be it a miniature rosary, an idol of the Goddess, or the sign of the Spear.
Common enchantments: protection, concentration/piety.Gemstone charms: A popular choice, adding colour and variety to the bracelet. The stones can be faceted, raw or cut en cabochon. Many people assign special properties to specific stones, adding extra meaning. Crystals can also be used as well, elementally charged or not.
Common enchantments: cosmetic, protection, elemental, spellcraft.Passion: Passion charms are a depiction of one's personality and often symbolize someone's hobbies and passions. Those that enjoy music, for example, may choose a charm in the shape of a musical note. If one finds falconry their main passion, a charm in the shape of a bird might draw your attention.
Common enchantments: cosmetic, enchantments that aid in the hobby.
Luck & protection: Symbols that are commonly associated with good luck or protection are commonly purchased as gifts for another.
Common enchantments: protection, warding, locking.Relationship: Another style of charm that is commonly purchased as a gift for another, usually a love interest or close friend. The charm depicts something that has meaning to the pair, or symbolizes a wish for the future. Someone who is hoping to court, for example, may choose a charm in the shape of a rose.
Common enchantments: cosmetic, spellcraft.Affiliation: These charms depict the wearer's affiliation, be it their House, Guild, Free Company, and whatever else they may feel a strong connection to. These are always commissioned.
Common enchantments: cosmetic, spellcraft, locking.

Tips from our staff
Gwenolie: "Charms are my favourite thing to enchant. There are just so many options, and if you can't choose, well, just get another charm!"
Enchantments
Enchantments are the Boutique's bread and butter, and the wide variety we have on offer are too numerous to list here. Below is an abbreviated summary of our most commonly sold enchantments.
Glimmer - Puts a beautiful sheen on metals, crystals, and gems
Sturdy - Prevents breakage, even when used heavily every sun
Surefooted - Prevents slipping on ice
Cleansing - A spotless house with minimal effort
Cosmetic - Change your hair, dress, eyes, etc with the flick of a wand
Location - Prevent losing precious items
Shine - For a subtle glow that draws the eye
Materia
Our Enchantress is trained in the melding of materia into apparel and jewelry. Materia we currently have in stock in varying levels of purity:
Quickarm
Quicktongue
Piety
Craftsman (varied)
Gatherer (varied)
Because we are not a shoppe that caters to the pursuits of war, we don't offer any purely combat related materia or enchantments.
![](assets/images/image20.jpg?v=152436e7)
Tips from our staff
Gwenolie: "Some of our patrons might wonder about enchants and materia purely used to enhance one's abilities in combat. We are not a shoppe well-versed in the pursuits of war however, and therefor must insist that those in need of such things visit the many armouries and weapon shops across the city. "
Jewelry
Jewelry sold in the Boutique is expertly crafted but nothing too elaborate if not commissioned. They are often meant to be purchased for the materia and enchantment placed on them more than as eye-catchers.In the lower bracket we see jewelry made of wood, tin, and bronze.
Commonly used materials in the higher brackets are ivory, silver, gold, and mythril, inlaid with gems or (elemental) crystals.
Rings
Plain bands of (semi) precious metals offer a good basis for enchants or materia and can be surprisingly affordable, though many opt to have jewels added for extra flair. Miss Amanette can also make rings of troth or naming rings on request, but these are always commissioned.
Bracelets
Like rings, bracelets can offer a good basis for enchantments or materia. The Boutique mostly sells charm bracelets with the idea that the individual charms (also sold at the shoppe) hold different spells and can be adjusted for the day's needs.
Necklaces
Simple bands with a jewel or crystal as its centerpiece are most commonly enchanted with magic that allows the user to change the colour or look of one's attire.
Earrings
Earrings are most commonly used for cosmetic enchants that change things about one's facial appearance or hair. Also often used as a setting for linkpearls.
![](assets/images/image14.jpg?v=152436e7)
Tips from our staff
Amanette: "My specialty may be rosaries, but those skills have served me well in my persuit to become a true jewelmaker. I hope you enjoy my handiwork, but don't be shy to request something special."
Crystals and gemstones
Enchanted has a small selection of crystals and gemstones on offer. This is because most of them are used in the creation of other items, and are only shown in the shop as an option for commissioned goods.
Crystals
Crystals are used mostly for their elemental affinity or as a source of aether for spellwork. They are only available in small amounts due to regulations around the selling of crystals because of their use in the summoning of primals.
Gemstones
Gemstones available in the Boutique include but is not limited to:
Amber
Amethyst
Beryl (like aquamarine and emerald)
Diamond
Garnet
Glass
Jade
Opal
Pearl
Quartz (like amethyst and rose quartz)
Sapphire
![](assets/images/image12.jpg?v=152436e7)
Tips from our staff
Gwenolie: "Please do not purchase any crystals for the purpose of spellwork unless you know what you're doing. I'm available for tips and lessons per request!"
Cosmetics
Here at Enchanted, we believe that the best cosmetics are glamours linked to beautiful jewelry. It's better for the skin, your coin purse, and saves you the time it would take to apply and remove the make-up. That said, we do have some traditional make-up as well as a variety of skin care lotions.
Traditional make-up
A small variety of lipstick, eye shadow, mascara, foundations, rouges as well as black eye pencil.
Lotions
Lotions for skin care in different scents and for every skin type.
Glamours
Glamours are enchantments that alter one's appearance, often linked to jewelry or clothing. Our specialties are glamoured charms for a charm bracelet that can be mixed and matched, earrings, and custom enchants on jewelry with effects like:
A variety of make-up styles and colours
Alternate hair styles and colours
Alternate eye colours and/or make-up
The effect of lipsticks without the stains or fading
Wardrobe changes
Nail polishes and nail art
Tattoos
![](assets/images/image13.jpg?v=152436e7)
Tips from our staff
Maudine: "Once you go glamour, it's hard to go back to regular cosmetics. The benefits are endless. It never smears or fades, is applied by simply wearing the jewelry, can be slept in and not once does it dry out your skin or cause irritation. What more can one want?"
Incense and scented oils
We offer a variety of incense and scented oils. Use it to help focus your prayers, for meditations, or just to enjoy their natural perfumes. Some of our most popular scents are:
Myrrh
Frankincense
Sandalwood
Althyk Lavender
Scented candles
Our scented candles get their bouquets from either oils or enchantment. The former is the more affordable option, and we have mainly flowery fragrances available.Enchanted candles can smell like pretty much anything you want, and are often made to smell like someone's (or their beloved's) favourite perfume.
Burners
Our burners are made of wood or stone and are treated with special enchants that make them easy to clean and prevents fire risks.
Pomanders
Pomanders are spherical compartmentalized jewels that can be used for perfumes like ambergris, musk, or civet, but can also house potpourri or fragrant herbs.They are a passion-project for Amanette, each one taking several moons and a lot of gil to craft, and are therefore rarely sold.As with everything in The Enchanted Boutique, our pomanders can also house glamours, materia, spells, or enchantments.
![](assets/images/image17.png?v=152436e7)
![](assets/images/image16.jpg?v=152436e7)
Tips from our staff
Amanette: "Pomanders are my favourite thing to make, perhaps even more so than rosaries. Hm? Have I ever heard of Gelmorra? No, what is that?"
Foreign curios
With our borders fully open, foreign imports are flourishing for those who have the gil to pay for them. The Enchanted Boutique has a small selection of these imports, but their availability changes often. Please inquire with our staff for the current selection.
Eorzea and beyond
Availability is limited, but the Enchanted is interested in stocking items from a variety of locales, from the Eorzean city states to as far away as Thavnair and Doma.
![](assets/images/image02.jpg?v=152436e7)
Tips from our staff
Gwenolie: "The most common items we can stock at an affordable price are teas, but alchemical potions from Radz-at-han are becoming quite popular as well."

Divinations
Madam Maudine Dubois offers divination readings using her custom deck of cards. She is not a trained Astrologian and doesn't claim to know the future, but aims to offer insights and understanding when dealing with the problems of the future.Visitors can get a small glimpse of her readings in the Boutique by interacting with the small Mandragora door tucked away at the back of the shoppe. A small plaque next to it explains the steps.
Offer three knocks upon my door,
Then add two bashful blinks.
Take single coin - no less no more,
For your heart I will glimpse.Drop down to waters - clean and cool,
Then reach bravely within.
Be you wise or be you fool,
We will see what fate may spin.If the instructions are followed, one may find the waters in the small pool to be a clever illusion. A card will come to hand, serving as both a business card for Madam Dubois and an initial Choosing card with a message for the person that drew it.Next is a description of the cards, based on the Major Arcana.
All the cards have a linkpearl in their artwork that can be activated by using their special phrase.

The Cards
The cards are modified versions of the Major Arcana in tarot. I have described them below for reference.Maudine currently uses a deck based on Mandragoras, which are incorporated into the art on the front of the card. They all share design elements, like a stylized top border with a crystal circle embossed in the middle on which the card's number is etched.This crystal also serves as a link pearl and can be used to contact Maudine for appointments or to listen in with her sporadic pearlcast where she reads people their daily card. The pearl is activated using the card's special phrase as described below.One may find this phrase at the back. There you can also find a short description with the keywords and meaning of the card.
The Mandragora Court
Also known as the Major Arcana. The Mandragora Court watches over life lessons and how your actions may influence the Aetherial Sea. It also deals with big archetypal themes that may influence your life.Interacting with the Mandragora Door may summon any of the 22 options from the Court, as detailed below.Heed their lessons well, as they do not take kindly to those who ignore them.For those wondering about the Minor Arcana: these cards cannot be summoned with this ritual, but they are included when Madam Dubois does a full reading for a client. These Suits can be found here.

Mature Content Ahead!
While nothing on this Carrd is particularly NSFW, I do want to warn people that there will be references to sexuality ahead. If you find that distasteful or are a minor, please turn away.

Enchanted Evenings
Though Ishgard is changing since the end of the Dragonsong War, some habits and social expectations die hard. Women in particular are still expected to be humble and chaste in many circles, devoted to their families and Halone.What happens behind the closed doors of one's bedchambers is our own business however. And for those that seek a bit of private adventure, alone or with a partner, we offer the means for some very special Enchanted Evenings.
In the know
Though these curios and services technically don't break any Halonic laws that the staff is aware of, it is still in everyone's best interest to be discreet. The Boutique uses a referral system where a new customer is introduced by an already existing one, to minimize the chance that untowards gossip reaches the icy streets of Ishgard.
OOC
Yes, there is secret sex shop in the basement.
No, we do not invite random gratuitous erotic roleplay.We've used Rosaire's Lore Compilation as a basis for the views some Ishgardians might have on sexuality, especially that of women. Chastity would be expected in many circles, and although the city may be changing since the end of the Dragonsong War, we go by the assumption that social and religious taboos aren't easily broken.Enchanted Evenings serves as a shadow culture made mostly for and by Ishgardian women, as a means to spread more sex-positivity in a discreet and hopefully fun manner. Men and non-Ishgardians that feel a connection to that creed are welcomed too. It is both IC and OOC LGTB+ friendly. Please note that this is not meant as a brothel, however.Scenes with Enchanted Evenings are only done as per request, and can include things like the purchasing of sex-toys and sexually focused enchants, commissioning special items and/or simply as a place where people can discuss things a little more openly than one might normally expect in Ishgard.Feel free to contact us OOC to request such a scene. The usual applies: no minors, be respectful of boundaries & please communicate intentions beforehand. We don't do charm-like spells or love potions and the like.

Preferences
Below are some things to consider when engaging with The Enchanted Boutique and its staff.LORE ADHERENT: The Boutique is lore adherent, though at times the gaps in the lore are filled in with headcanon. Please do not bring anything blatantly lore breaking or very implausible into the shop without discussing it first.WRITING STYLE: The staff aims to do descriptive paragraph RP without too much purple prose. Only during busy group events will quick-fire one-liners occassionally be used.ABOUT PAYMENTS: All payments and the exchange of goods/services are IC only. The exact rates and prizes are kept vague OOC as the 'worth' of things is hard to determine in this setting. The shop is a luxury shop though, meaning that most of its curios and services are for wealtheir clientele.
