White Willows pt15

Avenue of Avarice
Avenue of Avarice is the upper class district of White Willows home to most of its bankers, merchants and the few remaining wizards. Multi-story mansions and towers with wrought iron fences and lush private gardens dominate this street. The City Guard is constantly on patrol here and will beat up and boot out anyone they qualify as riff-raff. There is little public land and business in this area.

Mazzah’s Spire
This crumbling spire is the home and tower for Mazzah the Magnificent a local wizard of some renown. Once resplendent with its greenhouses and observation dome the tower has fallen into disrepair and is choked in ivy and moss. Large DO NOT DISTURB, NO SOLICITORS, and BEWARE OF BLINK DOG signs cover the front gate to the building. Mazzah will however welcome anyone who is selling any sort of Void Elf items and will pay well above market cost if the seller has a good story to go with the item. (He plans on opening a Void Elf museum one day.)

Tower of Forthran
This space-age looking tower with its steel body, sweeping lines, and geodesic sphere at the top has always been host to many local rumors. No one knows who owns it and no one has seen anyone enter the door at the base of the tower, but the grounds are still kept immaculate.

Plaza of Verdant Delights
The Avenue of Avarice ends in a cul-de-sac. Surrounding the tip of the cul-de-sac is the Plaza of Verdant Delights. Kept well-groomed this garden is in impeccable condition, its monstrous hedge sculptures are life like and its odd marble fountains with their statues in various pose of copulation and self-love have just the right amount of creeping vines and vibrant flowers to give that perfect sense of ennui the wealthy love so much. Getting hopelessly lost in its azalea maze then making love to the first person you find is a popular pass time for the bored wealthy wives of the Avenue of Avarice.

Pazrah Ashad’s Manor
This house, bought recently by a wealthy Catty prince, has been turned into a pleasure palace. Expensive perfumes can be smelled in the air and the sound of soft music and hoity-toity laughter can be heard at all hours. Pazrah can be found mostly often napping on his sun drenched balcony wearing is dark glasses and lapping spiced cream watching the antics of the socialites below. Pazrah will occasionally spice things up by any number means. His last notorious party was famous for serving Sahaugin Caviar laced with psychoactive drugs and having his servants create a replica pirate galleon in his lawn. Needless to say the neighbors want him out.

Fosar Family Estate
The Fosar family has long had its hands in a number of trading and business ventures and is one of the wealthiest families inside the canton. Unlike many of the noble families they have a strong work ethic and their austere but comfortable grounds reflect that. Instead of pleasure gardens the manor has a small but efficient farm and orchard as well as an artificial lake stocked with fish.

Pulcholi Family Estate
This family rarely ventures forth from their compound and little is known about the source of their wealth and there is much speculation to its true source. Despite much of the manor grounds being over grown the manor itself is extremely well kept. Strange visitors can be seen coming and going at night to the manor.
