Mayors Mansion

The mayors mansion also known as Tartaris building is home to the past, present, and future mayors of Tartaran. Originally Tartaris Stargazer lived in this building during the construction of Tartaran until his death in 5054 AC. Since his death, this mansion has been used as a home for the mayor in order to ensure his safety within the inner wall.

Purpose / Function

During Tartarans construstion this was one of the first buildings completed. Tartaris Stargazer lived in this building as Tartaran's size grew. Eventually Tartaris died naturally and was buried in the mansion's personal graveyard. The mansion then became the towns mayor residence. Due to the wall surrounding the mansion it made for perfect protection against any unwanted attackers.

Alterations

In 5060 AC the first elected mayor used town taxes to build a personal water fountain within his wall that was powered by the river. Many of the citizens at the time were unhappy with the mayors decision since the money was supposed to be used for town maintenance. A re-election happened shortly after.

History

In 5020 AC Tartaris paid for construction of this building and several others to start developing a town. After the buildings were constructed Tartaris fortified his own home with a stone wall, possibly due to lingering fear of the war back on Katatan. In 5050 AC settlers from Katatan began purchasing land and buildings within the town to begin their own shops. Tartaris then died in his sleep in 5054 AC at the age of 84 years. The nobles of Tartaran then claimed Tartaris Building as town property for the elected mayor to reside. The first mayor Jerrek Adam was elected in 5055. He used money from town taxes and constructed a stone fountain within the mansion grounds. Though its artisanry was astounding the townspeople were not happy with the mayors use of taxes.
