Freehold Guardian
No one knows when exactly the bygone came to settle Itself at the Rhapsody Freehold, only that It's always been there. Sometimes you can catch a glimpse of It coiled around the roof, but more often than not, It goes unseen. Some say It's just a rumor, a mythical monster to scare people into being good around the freehold, but be careful saying that too loudly, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup should the Dragon make Its presence known! One thing is certain - the Dragon does not put up with anything that disturbs It, or the place It has claimed as home. You are welcome there, but only if you follow the general rules of hospitality within It and Its proxies' domain.
(The Dragon may be portrayed by PCs within the limits of '+policy hand waving', or with staff approval on a case-by-case basis.)
Freehold House Rules
- Seelie and Unseelie welcome here; all must abide by the Escheat and use decorum.
- Respect is earned, not demanded.
- Use your words to solve issues rather than fists, teeth, claws or Sovereign.
- Leave the Dragon alone and raise issues with its proxies, Fletcher and Quentin.
- If the Dragon does show up, may the odds be ever in your favor.
Meadow of the Well
Just outside the freehold is a large meadow at the base of a hill. Atop the hill resides the wishing well that gives this district its name. Many a holiday party is held here, and Kith and Kin can be found picnicking when the Dreaming's weather allows. Nearby, on the far side of the hill, is the Lost in Time Market; where practically anything can be acquired, should one be able to pay the price.
The Blue Boar Inn
This rustic, comfortable Inn and stable is located just by the Freehold itself. All are welcome to enter and partake of good food, strong beverage, festive music and generous hospitality. This is where the caretakers of the Rhapsody Freehold can typically be found, along with their families as they run the Inn as well.
Lost in Time Market
The Lost in Time Market is a County-conceived, Commoner-operated initiative. Much hard work and dedication from allied Counties, traders, and the local population brought the Market to life; that life is sustained by its current Kinain and Kithain merchants. The Market's defenses are overseen by the local nobility, and paid for out of taxes collected for the County and Ducal coffers. The day to day affairs, however, are left to shop owners, and the environment is especially Commoner friendly. Kithain and Kinain craftspeople of all kinds are encouraged to open up businesses there.
Shops and Institutions of Note
- Covey-Fychell College is a magical boarding College that occupies one of the largest lots in the Southwest quarter of Lost in Time Market. It is an endeavor of the combined efforts of several local Baronies and Titled and Commoners to foster a deep knowledge and respect of the Escheat and upholding its tenets, and assist new Chrysalids and Kinain in learning how to navigate the Dreaming and all Its wonders and dangers. Tuition is free; however, tutelage is by invitation only.
- A welcoming home in the Lost in Time Market for wanderers among the Fae, Kinain, chimera, and Bygones. It offers inexpensive (or free, to the indigent) crash space, food and drink, and a lively and welcoming common room that encourages storytelling by the firepit, singing, dancing, and all manner of creativity and camaraderie. The peace will be kept by the staff. Put aside all conflicts at the door -- this is a neutral space.
- Steeds Crossing Outpost
- Several stalls have been set aside to showcase the mounts that come from Steeds Crossing Ranch, these days said stalls remain empty. Previously, the finest specimens produced were set aside for use by the army of the Duchy. With the chimera population having run wild and feral for many seasons, the freehold is in the process of building back up and taming the breeding stock.
