Noble Quintan

X

The richest Houses maintain homes here, up against the walls of the Accord or Empyros. Those locals who are not noble, but quite rich nonetheless, tend to build along the walls to Greytown, while merchants and others who tend to the needs of the quintan's wealthy can be found along the streets that abut the Hellward.

Gates & Other Landmarks

• The Prince's Gate (G1): The western gate into Liminal.
• The Laurelgate (G4): Gate into the Accord.
• The Fifegate (G9): Gate into the Fest Quintan.
• The Crowngate (G13): Gate into the Traveler's Quintan.
• The Silvergate (G14): Gate into Greytown.
• The Templegate (G15): Gate into Empyros.

The Noble Quintan hosts a selection of exquisite villas for those who aspire to one of the fine noble estates in this district, but can't quite afford it. These villas are grouped into "citykeeps," neighboring units around a central passageway or courtyard, which are always gated, with guards at the entrances (more for an air of exclusivity than security, since the Noble Quintan is one of the safest districts in Liminal). In many instances, these villas are massive affairs, larger even than many of the estate houses. They are universally considered the domains of those who are newly rich, however.

• Dawnbright Citykeep (N1): Shining white stone and gold-bright polished copper make up the buildings of the Dawnbright. This citykeep is made up of the very rich, whose wealth alone provides them some measure of celebrity. Its residents are notorious for their competitive excesses.
• Wildvine Rose Citykeep (N2): Everyone knows that the beautiful people dwell in the Wildvine Rose. Actors from the Fest Quintan, renowned bards and musicians, and fine courtesans (who naturally ply their trade elsewhere, of course) all claim the Wildvine Rose as their own.
• Falconmark Citykeep (N3): The Falconmark is not as impressive or renowned as the other Citykeeps, and that's deliberate - its residents like their property. The secret paramours of the very rich, bastard sons with useful skills and those who make a living trading in the secrets of the world are among those who dwell in Falconmark.
• The Basilisk's Blade Citykeep (N4): The Basilisk's Blade is known as the haven of adventurers and other powerful freelancers who have been successful enough to acquire fine homes in this Citykeep. There is no Citykeep that is safer than the Basilisk's Blade - a burglar never knows when the villa he's chosen to burgle might be the home of a former adventurer, with all the danger that entails.
• Suncrown Citykeep (N5): The Suncrown has a small fraternity of military heroes and retired mercenary captains, all of whom have clearly done very well for themselves.

Shops

• Aedraumyr's Full Service Emporium (N6): Aedraumyr's services are the sort of thing that keeps the Noble Quintan running, though the shop's matrons would go hungry if they tried to offer their services in other districts. Basically, they specialize in providing anything and everything the residents of the Noble Quintan could want of them. Liminal is a massive place, and keeping abreast of the best of goods and deals in the city is a full-time endeavor - one which Aedraumyr's specializes in. Rich households often have a full-time employee of Aedraumyr's on retainer, proffering the latest and best deals, while most folk simply send their own servants down to the Emporium to discuss the household's needs with its matrons. Fully half of Aedraumyr's employees spend their time combing the shops and markets of the city, discovering what is new and interesting, and more than a few shophands and dock workers throughout the city make a tidy side income selling information about the latest of wares to the Aedraumyr matrons.
• The Silver Carriage (N7): The Silver Carriage specializes in providing carriages, liveried footmen and fine steeds for the rich and noble. Though they also sell their goods (including providing trained footmen for the discerning client to employ), they also provide a service allowing a client to simply lease a coach, staff and steeds from them.
• The Moon and Cup (N8): A fine wine and spirits merchant, the Moon and Cup is arranged as an art-filled, comfortable salon. Parties of nobles frequent the locale, to sit and drink and talk with one another. The cups of wine provided are free of charge, as they are samples of the Moon and Cup's finest vintages, with parties expected to order large household quantities for delivery after their time in the salons.
• The Diamond Eye (N9): The Guild Hall and showroom of some of the finest jewelry displayed by the best the Great and Proud Guild of Gemwrights and Jewelers has to offer. In many instances, these pieces are not for sale, but simply provided as examples of a gemwright's skill, with information on contacting that craftsman provided by the staff of the Diamond Eye. They also delight in showing off the fine jewelry of other planes, including a central exhibit of rare and precious astral diamonds.

Government & Nobility

• Chieftain's Hall (N10): House Naiall Estate The primary Liminal estate of House Naiall, the Chieftain's Hall is made up of finely-carved wooden pillars and paneling. The estate house itself is a sprawling, chaotic construction done in a style reminiscent of the clan longhalls of the Badlands nomads.
• Eclipse Towers (N11): House Redmoon Estate A heavily treed grounds, with a few of the wooden towers so preferred by the elves of the Delannwood, Eclipse Towers is the Liminal estate of House Redmoon. Its grounds often seem mostly abandoned, but myriad elven archer guardians remain hidden, prepared to defend it.
• Old Dayritch Estate (N12): House Dumnei Estate The grand Old Dayritch has passed through many hands over the years. Indeed, rumors say that it is haunted. Nonetheless, its current owners, House Dumnei seems quite exuberant about their estate, a sure sign of advancement in Liminal's noble circles.
• Filan's Door (N13): House Ibunnon Estate Filan's Door is the Liminal estate of House Ibunnon. It is always busy, entertaining visitors during the day and throwing lavish parties on some nights. The Ibunnon have their fingers in many pies throughout the Imbricate Cities, and their visitors often reflect their myriad connections: a single day might see janissaries representing their ifriti masters, genasi from Rivermouth, deva from Empyros and shadar-kai from the Blackstreets.
• Stalliongard (N14): X
• The First House (N15): House Desiram Estate The name of the Desiram estate reminds its visitors who they are: the first of Liminal's nobility. Though their estate is smaller than some, it is nonetheless grand, showing its ancient lineage with tall pillars, archaic but beautiful architecture and climbing ivy everywhere.
• Elmbough Estate (N16): House Elohash Estate A simple and fine home, the Elohash take a great deal of pride in Elmbough's spartan appointment. Large holy symbols and small shrines to the gods of Almanni are all over the estate, filling spaces on walls and in niches almost without exception.
