Location

[Ta'Illistim, Moonglae Var]
Two pieces of crumbly silvery blue stonework cross over the var, forming a near complete arch. The broken gap in the masonry is jagged, but with edges gone soft with age and the elements. A respectful space surrounds the base of the structure on both sides of the road, separating it from the houses that sit nearby. Crafted from alabaster stone, a beautiful manor sits back behind a greystone wall. A cobbled walkway leads through a gate and up to the building. Lush fruit trees and blooming flowers fill the visible lawn.
Obvious paths: northeast, southwest
