50,000 square feet (4,650 m2)

The Store differs from most New Dusk Conclave, and Yamatai Star Empire architectures, as it was made from some special materials.

The interior and exterior color schemes of The Mining Guild Emporium are consistent with a predetermined palette. The building materials allow for warm earthy colors like browns, oranges, and yellows on the inside, which give the store a cozy and grounded ambiance. Of course, the majority of the stones, or at least those at the entrance and exterior, are industrial gray tones, which go well with other accent colors that are symbolic of the Mining Guild. In certain spots, there were splotches of blue and green, particularly when signs and exhibits included model miniatures.

The Mining Guild Emporium is an establishment constructed using a combination of refined materials, processed minerals, and fabricated stones that the skilled miners of the Mining Guild have meticulously sourced and crafted. This innovative approach gives the Emporium a distinct and captivating appearance both inside and out.

Nyx Pine, the daughter of the late Archduke Jack Pine, held the esteemed position of the Royal Representative of the Mining Guild. As a prominent figure within the guild, Nyx played a critical role in shaping its future. In YE 45 and recognizing the need for expansion and diversification, Nyx sought a meeting with Astrid Kurosaki, the CEO of the Mining Guild, and Astrid's twin sister, |Aeta, the COO. The meeting took place at the Mining Guild's headquarters, a towering structure known for its magnificent blend of refined materials obtained through the guild's mining and processing operations.

Nyx began the discussion by expressing her concerns about the Mining Guild's heavy reliance on Black Wing Enterprises for distribution and sales. She believed that opening the Mining Guild Emporium would allow for greater control over their products and profits. The Emporium would be a showcase of the guild's refined materials, both those dug through and processed and those that had been fabricated using stones, creating a unique and special appearance for its interior and exterior. As Nyx presented her vision for the Mining Guild Emporium, Astrid and Aeta listened attentively. They valued Nyx's expertise and respected her position as the Royal Representative. They too had long considered the idea of reducing their dependence on Black Wing Enterprises and embracing a more independent approach for their business operations.

After a thorough and spirited discussion, Astrid and Aeta agreed to Nyx's proposal. They recognized the potential of the Mining Guild Emporium to not only showcase the guild's refined materials, and their technology, but also to establish a direct connection with their customers. This move would allow the guild to forge stronger relationships and increase their influence in the market, ultimately paving the way for greater success and prosperity. Together, Nyx, Astrid, and Aeta spearheaded the development and construction of the Mining Guild Emporium, a testament to their shared vision and determination. The Emporium would serve as a symbol of the guild's independence, showcasing their unique materials and craftsmanship to a wider audience.

As construction commenced, the Mining Guild began to gradually reduce its reliance on Black Wing Enterprises, transitioning towards their own distribution channels. This strategic shift marked a new era for the guild, solidifying its position as a major player in the mining and refining industry. With the Mining Guild Emporium on the horizon and the support of Nyx, Astrid, and Aeta, the Mining Guild embarked on a journey towards growth, empowerment, and self-sufficiency, leaving behind its previous ties to Black Wing Enterprises and embracing a future full of potential and opportunity.
