Villa of White Lilies

The Villa of White Lilies is a country manor located off the Bay Highway in the Scarlet Prefecture, two hours ride from the Imperial City to the east of Toribeno. The Villa is a possession of House Cathak, currently entrusted to winglord Cathak Furius of the 2nd Legion.

The white lilies which give the place its name cover the grounds surrounding the villa, lining the path that connects the estate to the Highway. White lilies have always been associated with death, and some theorize that their ample presence here is a result of proximity to the City of Tombs.

The estate includes two buildings, each stark white plaster with roof tiles the colour of rust. The lesser of the two is the stables, large enough to accomodate two fangs of horses or twice that many servants as well as feed and accessories.

The main house is a larger structure, but rises only a single storey. Its single outside door opens south onto the road and stables, with shuttered windows dispersed about to provide views in all directions save to the West. Stepping through the entrance, a visitor enters into the large space that makes up the southern portion of the building, a chamber for galas. The chamber has no northern wall, instead having its roof supported by columns while space remmains open to connect with a square central garden, at the center an open space for martial excercises amidst a preponderence of lilies. The garden is surrounded to north, east, and west by covered arcades, onto which open doors leading to the Villa's other chambers likely including kitchens and bedrooms for Dynastic residents.

In RY768 DE22, the Villa of White Lilies played host to a soiree arranged by Cathak Furius and Ragara Thannak-Tyros to celebrate Tyros' new dragon armour design and mark his appointment as resident artificer of the Cathedral of Battle.
