The Merchant Guilds Grand Counting House

Even from the outside, it is clear that this houses the wealthiest of them all, the leaders of the merchant guild. This building is heavily decorated in gold and silver. It's size dwarfing all surrounding buildings, it's intricate paintings depicting a grand scale, the emblem of the kingdom of Nella. Stepping in, it feels even more spacious than the outside might suggest. Painings, trophies, luxury goods were depicted on the walls but also on the ceiling. The sunlight that shines through the giant glass dome gets changed, as the transparent materials recolors it, creating an almost rainbow-esque effect that reflects off of the polished surfaces of the furniture below. This affects any who enter, as, no matter their heritage, one can't help but feel humbled by the sheer artistic grandness the interior expresses.   This proud buildings embodies the accomplishments of those who achieved true greatness in the trade-world. Being home to the owner of the biggest shipyard of all of Ekkirah, the owner of the banks, the owner of the Rylo-Oyster farms and the head of the council of traders.   The first floors door lead to grand dining rooms, places where the traders meet with each other or royalty, to discuss contracts while being served food prepared by the best chefs money can buy.   The second floor offers guest rooms, but as with anything in the counting house, they are far from ordinary. Fitted to meet even the most royal of needs, each guest room comes with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two dining rooms, a spacious balcony a kitchen and servant entrances.   The thirst and last floor is the most tightly secured one. Here lie the quaters of the inhabitants. Three giant appartments span across this level. Each appartment is decorated to represent the owners companies. From left to right, the walls are lined with paintings of airships, mountains of coins, pearls, oysters and lastly a giant scale.
