Construction & Conquest

[Sandshark]

Lucas, Chaska, and Lucas's squire Marek look out on one potential site of the Star's Shelter Orphanage.

Name of Establishment: Star's Shelter Orphanage

Payment: 60,000 coins

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, Cosmic Magic, and Medic training (as well as IC job training such as artificing, alchemy, and cooking) for youths within the safety of Osrona.

After a highly successful charity auction, graciously hosted by the Blue Unicorn, the Alder family seeks to put down roots in the city in order to help others put down roots of their own.

Area Description: Constructed in [Year] by Lucas and Chaska Alder, with generous donations from the Osronan community, this stately house in the Sunken Quarter north of Messaris was built to be a home for Esshar's wayward youths.

Kept in trust by the hedge knight and his students, Star's Shelter is a beacon of hope for those growing up in uncertain times.

Characters Involved: Lucas and Chaska Alder (proprietors), Marek, the Blue Unicorn (Alistair and Orain Pelleaux), Rhesus de Laurentis, and many other generous donors.

Map Progress / Plans: Not mapped yet, and looking for a mapper! I could also try to do it myself if it's approved but don't know much about how to do that.

I'm hoping to have this building inside the city walls of Osrona, either in the Messaris area or elsewhere someone can find or make a place for it. The IC justification for the location shown above is that it's land that was cracked by magic during one of the times Osrona was sacked, and it could be raised back from the sea with magic as well.

I'm interested in a 2 story building with an architectural style similar to the buildings in Osrona.

A shape I'd like for the internal area is similar to the northwestern homes in Osrona, in the long row-house. I can provide screenshots of the home Lucas rents as an example. That floorplan is absolutely ideal, with the following changes:

• The apartment on the left side should be independently rented, and possibly be slightly larger to accommodate a permanent tutor and their spouse, if they have one.
  
• There should be a staircase up to a second level, where some independently rented dorms will be for the orphans to live.
  

I would like to have 2 outside farms if possible. One at the standard Messaris farmhouse size for the owner of the main apartment, and a smaller one on the opposite side of the house for the tutor/caretaker. It would also be nice to have a small scenic area with a bench and a pond or some other nice place for people to chill out.

Ultimately it's up to the mapper how you wanna do the exterior. My main desire is to get some beautiful countryside surroundings and a relatively safe place for newbies to live and make friends.

If you're interested in mapping this project or RBing to start here as an orphan, DM me on discord.
To help out IC, seek out Lucas or Chaska.
