[Location] The Seat of the Aconitum

(This is a thread from Mizahar's fantasy role playing forums. Why don't you register today? This message is not shown when you are logged in. Come roleplay with us, it's fun!)

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 Seat of the Aconitum

The Aconitum is one of the most important organizations within Kalinor. They are responsible for overseeing and faciliating trade in the city. There is not much in Kalinor that happens without their knowledge. It is impossible to run a business in Kalinor without visiting them first, and any outsider that enters the underground city of the Symenestra will eventually have to deal with them. The Aconitum influence which Symenestra products are allowed to leave Kalinor, and if traders arrive in the city, they have a say in which goods are bought. The Meadows Public House where those traders usually stay is under their management.

The Aconitum is run by the members of the Aconite Web. Its head is Laudavyn Aconite, a graceful Symenestra with dark hair and golden eyes. Most of the time he and the members of his web that all resemble him in appearance, can be found within the seat of the Aconitum, in a prominent location in Kalinor, not far from the great temple of Viratas and the residence of the ruling couple. It is one of the biggest buildings within the city, made of a stalactite like material that shimmers with a golden hue, but a shade or two lighter than the Aconites‘ eyes so that it almost resembles a golden tear that hangs from the ceiling on ropes and what looks like strings of pearls.

Due to the fact that the members of the Aconitum are the Symenestra that have the most contact with surface dwellers it is relatively easy to enter their seat even for somebody that is not blessed with the grace of the Symenestra and their black claws. From the door that is decorated with the symbol of the Aconite Web steps that are just wide and high enough for a human to walk comfortable lead downward, towards the great hall that is decorated with tapestries that depict landscapes on the surface, perhaps in an attempt to make the traders that come to Kalinor every once in a while more comfortable.

From the great hall hallways lead to the other areas of the building where the members of the Aconite Web have their offices and where much of the trade within and outside of Kalinor is coordinated.

No matter what the time of the day is, the seat of the Aconitum is always busy. People come here to ask for a business license or a stall at the market. Human traders are there, talking to the Symenestra. They seem to be indifferent towards the stories of Harvesters that abduct and rape their women, maybe blinded by the promises of the Aconitum or too focused on money to care about anything else. And at least one or two members of the Aconite Web can always be seen among the crowd.
