Started by Guild Master Kadish (Guild of Writers), the store was opened after his dismissal from the Guild of Writers. The store carried a number of outsider art pieces.
The Kadish store is a mix-match of artifacts collected from both D’ni artisans as well as outsider artisans before the Fall. Though the store has been in dis-repair for hundreds of years the DRC cleaned it up a bit before opening it. As a result, most of its artifacts are clearly visible and presentable for perusing.
Guild Master Kadish was kicked out of the Guild in 9320. Kadish came from a wealthy family and, as a result, he had the money needed to start his own business after being kicked from the Guild. Obviously, he was looked down upon for his removal from the Guild and, as a result, his store fared poorly. However, with help from his father and the passing of time, the store began to gain in popularity and the elite began to visit it more often. Eventually the store held a variety of artistic pieces from both D’ni and outside Ages: pieces that were eventually well known for their value. However, little known to most of the society, the real success was coming from Kadish’s writing of illegal black market books. The store was more of a front than anything, albeit a successful one, where both the elite and poor could come for book requests. Because of his connections with the underworld and the black markets, Kadish had a fairly good idea of A’Gaeris’ and Veovis’ plan to end D’ni. He heard bits and pieces and though most thought the rumors to be ridiculous, Kadish began to buy into them. As a result, he quietly began to prepare an Age where he would be able to safely go if the “fall” occurred. Over the years, Kadish began to store his most valuable possessions in that Age, and over the years the Age began to consume him, as did his possessions. He carefully constructed puzzles to prevent others from being able to get to the Age, although hid many of the clues to the puzzles in his store (should family need to try and get there). Eventually, he became almost “mad” as some called him, completely consumed with his possessions and his Age that hid them. However, when the fall occurred he was safe. Unfortunately his family was not. When the explosions hit, Kadish immediately ran to his safe Age and forsaking his family, friends, etc... Though he presumed they would show up some day, they never did. And, as a result, he lived the remaining years of his life in his Age with his possessions.
