The seat of the ducal house, around which the keeps and manors of lesser nobles crowd like stranded zailors huddled for warmth.


Success

Luxury and poverty

The Gravensteen sits on a raised plateau in the city's great inversion, keeping watch over its kingdom like a lighthouse. This is where the Other Duchess and her attendants reign, and is the font of the city's opulence and glory.

Airs of BurgundyDescription
2 - 20Less prestigious is the manor of a Mournful Margrave. You […] look up towards the third floor, where the windows blaze with light. Not candlelight, nor even […] the smoky light of the peat fires so common to the city. Somebody yearns for the sun.
27 - 50You pass the estate of a One-Eyed Viscomte. The house itself is dark and cobwebbed, but something scuttles in the stables. Not a horse – this creature would make even the most seasoned charger bolt.
52 - 72Many of these great houses lay empty and quiet. Some look ripe for inhabitation; others are crumbling ruins, or blackened by fire. The city hides its scars, but does not heal them.
79 - 100You sight a Wistful Marchioness through a window. She gazes out from her parlour – not towards the Gravensteen, but to the South. You turn your head. Just visible through the skyline, far away and far above, is a bright and distant star.
