The House of Gold
The interior of this palatial building -- every wall, flower, and ceiling -- is enshrouded in a paper-thin layer of gold. Some Lightkeepers believe that an ancient alchemist was using the gold as a barrier to contain the bleed caused by their magickal experiments, and numerous writings discovered around the city corroborate this theory. Others believe a wealthy (and perhaps rightly superstitious) civilian used the gold to protect the interior of their home as the magickal corruption in the city increased.
Features
Room of Delicacies: The main dining room of the home, this space is still set for a large dinner party. Due to the presence of hawthorn berry cakes, honey wine, and an athame with blood residue, some historians speculate that this meal was set to honor a death in which the body was unable to receive classic funeral rites.
Locked Storeroom: A small pantry off the kitchen shows evidence that a person was once trapped inside. Amidst a mess of shattered pottery, thousands of tally marks ring the lower third of the walls, stopping near a jagged hole that appears as though someone -- or something -- tried to dig their way out.
Lucent Courtyard: The private courtyard in the center of the home. Explorers have uncovered polished brass plates within the rubble of the space, and it is thought that servants would use the reflective surfaces to aim additional light at sunbathers. There are scorch marks along manhy portions of the walls and floor, suggesting that these polished plates had another, more violent, purpose.
