The Houses of Sun and Moon are riddled with learning and intelligence – but the Central District is where the real city lies. Shops, Blacksmiths, Tailors, Hospitals, Taverns, Libraries, Schools – and all else that makes up a civilian’s world – nestle amongst sandy-bricked buildings and the canopy of vast markets. The main road is wide, and paved with glistening white stone, but in the darker lines of dusty alleyways, the danger and treason of the city lies. From far above, the Central District is a massive web of streets and buildings, all hustling and bustling with everyday life – some of it homely and pleasant; some of it below disagreeable…

Looming above the hustle and throng of the busy Central District, high up in East District is a “hill” of Stationary Cloud, meandered by a silver-tiled road. And whilst hundreds – maybe thousands – of temples and shrines are dotted about Amnakir and the Houses of Magic, it is at the top of this hill that once stood grandest, largest temple of all. It is called Arrowclove – or was - and once housed priests of both Sol and Thoth. It was dotted with statues, idols, icons, emblems, banners, tapestries, altars, shrines, monuments, mausoleums, obelisks and massive columns. Now a mere ruin – as is its idea of God Equality - it was a place of true worship and religion; of beauty and grandeur – and, most importantly, of secrets…

Sunweaver - Erestor Elladan The House of Sun itself is of a large, castle-like appearance. It lies in the North District of the City, which is the highest and therefore the closest to the sun – warm, light and delicately-lit. Beyond the elegant walls, thatched turrets, well-kept gardens and mighty double-doors, the interior of the House is vast. Its halls are lit brilliantly with exquisite stained-glass windows, and the tall ceiling of every room is shaped, as if a dome. The spacious sleeping-chambers are in the upper quarters, up wide, marble staircases.Courtly studies, libraries and ornaments complete the prosperous look, suiting fully those devoted to the Sun’s Magic.

Moonweaver - Idril TuilindoThe House of Moon seems to be bathed in beautiful, mysterious intellect. It takes the appearance of a gathering of temples, with every stone that makes up these tall rooms being of perfect quality. Halls of learning lie outside, sheltered beneath a pillar-held roofing that crawls with ivy, so the scholars can pace beneath their study of interest – the Moon – whilst at work. Marble walkways twist elegantly above the largest rooms, and only in amongst the warm, homeliness of the upper sleeping-chambers can this message of grandeur be discarded.
