The Amethyst Chrysalis

A secure residential block comprising four two story buildings connected by an elevated walk around veranda. Access is restricted by a sturdy wooden gate or a locked side entrance used by tenants. At its heart lies a formal garden with benches and a magical fountain featuring rose and butterfly patterns. This central courtyard is a haven for small animals drawn to the fountain's aura. All essential services are housed within the entrance building near the gatehouse.

History

Originally a private estate for a merchant prince, the Chrysalis was rebuilt after the Great Fire to house elite citizens. A master enchanter designed the central fountain to provide peace to those traumatized by the blaze. Over decades, it evolved into a self contained community where privacy is the ultimate currency. Each apartment door was painted a unique color to symbolize the diversity of the original sixteen survivors.
