A surreal cavern city inhabited by Symenestra where stones glow and streets are reams of silk. Cocoon like structures hang between stalactites and cascade over limestone flows in organic and eerie arabesques. Without a Symenestra willing to escort you, entrance is impossible.

The Post

The Post is formed from a rather small and hollowed out stalactite, no larger than the average Symenestra house. It is single story and located in the near center of Kalinor. Having been established almost a century after the founding of Kalinor, The Post is the courier and mail hub of the city.

The door is located near the middle of the stalactite, leading directly onto the floor of the building. Part of the red strand road leads directly to the Post, making it one of the more easily accessible buildings in the city. The outside is rather nondescript with very little markings, though nearly everyone in the city knows its purpose. Letters filter in from all over the small city, and are sorted and delivered, the small group of couriers each delivering to a separate half of Kalinor. The occasional letter from outside of Kalinor appears, addressed to someone inside, though the couriers themselves never deliver outside of the city.

Inside of the Post is almost as boring as the outside A sheet of silk separates the building into two 'rooms', the front room containing the main office and the back room holding two large shelves dug directly into the stalactite. A fine wooden desk sits in the center of the first room, almost always manned during the day by a secretary who also serves as a sorter, Denev Heliconia. A detailed silk-paper map of Kalinor is also available for viewing, and lists each dwelling and location by name with accuracy. It was originally used by Denev and previous sorters to organize the mail by region, though is now only used by those wishing to familiarize themselves with the layout of Kalinor. While there is such a small population, mail is still sent by the many who have no time to take the gifts or letters to the recipient themselves.

 
NPC

Name: Denev Heliconia
Age: Summer 15th, 480 AV
Title: Secretary of The Post
Skills: Organization 75, Writing 45, Leadership 35, Cartography 30, Copying 30
Bio & History: Denev is in his mid 30s, with white hair that is cut short and generally left a little messy, and golden eyes that seem a tad too large and buggy for his face. He is often found in the Post, and can be considered a bit of a perfectionist, as seen by how well organized the Post actually is. He finds the tedium of working there to be relaxing, and is well suited to keeping the couriers in check. When not sorting the letters and packages, he can be found studying the map of Kalinor, on occasion making small changes to keep it current.

A select group of fast symenestra who bear the weight of delivering the packages on time.

This position requires the lore of Kalinor's layout and at least 15 xp in acrobatics. This position pays a starting wage of 4 gm/day.
