Construction & Conquest

[Sandshark]

Name of Establishment: Blessed Scale Refuge

Building Purpose: To serve as an orphanage ICly, providing housing and an RP opportunity for characters under 18 who have no family or connections in Esshar. Also to serve as a location for Holy Magic training outside the Church after the Academy arc finishes, continuing Sasha Branimir’s dream of training those outside the Church in Holy Magic.

Area Description: Constructed in [Year] by Lucas Alder and the residents of the Riverside Ryukyu, this building serves as a refuge for those orphaned by Esshar’s wars, as well as a place for new beginnings for young Magi entering the land from abroad.

Kept in trust by the hedge knight Lucas Alder and his students, the riverside manor house is known for offering training in the art of Holy Magic.

Characters Involved: Lucas Alder, Moa-Moa-Moa, Chaska Ljoss, Meira Caoihme, Dorongar Hedor, Julian Sodynym, Fleurosa, Leilah Argyris, Umbra Cysgol.

Map Progress / Plans: Not mapped yet, and looking for a mapper!

The map would be in the eastern part of the Tarian foothills across the river from the Riverside Ryukyu/Dragon Scale Inn, with hopefully a somewhat expanded overworld area there to make the area a bit more interesting since it'll have foot travel now.

Interested in a 2 or 3 story building with an architectural style similar to the Dragon Scale but smaller in its footprint in terms of width. Ideally there would be a ground floor room serving as a meeting area with either a lot of small apartments or a few large shared dorms for residents, two large upstairs apartments for the proprietor and a permanent tutor, and one or two basement rooms similar to what the Waystone has.

In the outside area there would be a bridge across the water to the inn, as well as a monument to several fallen friends and loved ones that the people at the inn wish to pay respects to (Fleurosa and I would be willing to pay extra for the memorial if it’s necessary to do so).

An outside farm area and a merchant stall might be nice additions too if possible, but the general design is to be a supplemental building to the inn next door, so people should tend to congregate there instead for food and tables.

Possibly the style it could look like (as rendered by Lindah):


(Imagine this but with only the middle and upper floor, or with an entryway to the living room on the lower floor)

If you're interested in mapping this project, helping out ICly, or RBing to start here as an orphan after the academy ends, DM me on discord.
