Count Reichart Petrides's Mansion
This exotic estate was once the summer home of Zagyg himself. It has been well maintained, and now houses the honored ambassador from the Duchy Palatine of Urnst.
The onion-domed towers of the sprawling house. with their wide bases and high, narrow windows, are unique among the buildings of the Free City. The mansion is too large for its current residents, as the count shares the house with his courtesan, a few servants and the two city watchmen assigned to protect him.
The most unique features of the mansion include the round ballroom in the widest of the towers. A wide arch connects it to the smaller tower adjoining it, wherein sits a raised orchestra platform. Also, Count Petrides was once a renowned hunter, and three of the smaller rooms at the rear of the mansion have been given over to a display of creatures he has slain, skillfully stuffed. Each room has a large centerpiece – a cave bear, a griffon, and a troll, respectively – as well as numerous other creatures such as a wolf, a giant frog. a carrion crawler, an axe beak, and a basilisk.
