=== The False Shelter ===

Perhaps one of the more ridiculous examples of First Age paranoia, there are actually a number of these Manses scattered about hidden places in Creation, although far fewer than there once were. Originally, each was constructed by a powerful Solar manse-architect, Jacun Vell. Vell created his Shelters as a trap, a carefully-designed and cunning system that was designed to hide the location of his true fortress. Twenty-five Shelters were crafted, each in a location that his Solar Tower could transport itself to, each identical in appearance.

Within the tower, the main floor appears to be a large open area. Above the staircase are words in Old Realm, "Welcome To My Friends". If those words are spoken, the Manse immediately explodes as though a Level 4 Demesne had suffered Power Failure. The rest of the Manse is empty. No more than a handful of Manses still exist, most occupied by squatters who do not speak Old Realm.

=== Game Mechanics ===

Manse Level 1 (3 Background Points due to Demesne)<br>
Drawbacks: Hearthstone (1), Fragile (1)

<b>Powers:</b>

Password Activated (1): Anyone within the Manse can activate its powers at a word.

Self-Destruct (1): The Manse can be commanded to explode violently. There is no counter-measure.

Essence Vents (1): The Manse sits on top of a Level 4 Demesne, which it harmlessly reroutes.

Comfort Zone (1): Until it explodes, the Shelter is a very nice place to rest.

The False Shelter provides no Hearthstone.

-=== The Dragon's Whisper ===
+=== The False Shelter ===
-The Dragon's Whisper is a popular destination in Arjuf, and has been for centuries. It was originally constructed on the orders of Cynis Balera, who wished to have the perfect teahouse in which to serve her own perfect blends, and she passed it on to her nephew after her death. He, in turn, passed it to his son, Cynis Gareth, who maintains it to this day.

-Under Gareth's able management, the Dragon's Whisper is a place of quiet and repose, where any of the busy power-brokers of Arjuf might come to relax and enjoy a quiet meditation without fear of anything intruding. Attempting to discuss any form of business or to provoke an incident within the teahouse is grounds for immediate expulsion; Gareth has invested a great deal in creating his refuge from the rigors of Dynastic life, and he does not appreciate it when others try to undermine this.
