The solar spine

It is the manse controlled by Sleeping Steel. It's in the top of a mountain, not far from the Palace. It's very difficult to reach the solar spine for whoever has no acces to aircraft or flying mount. So, it is also a very good refuge.

The solar spine:

the top of the peak shines with eternal snow in the rising sun. It is very hard to arrive to the manse; first you'll have to climb on a long distance and avoid the orichalcum eagles (gardians). Close to the main entrance an enclave allows a flying boat to dock. The peak is in a temperate, hilly and windy region, in the middle of a huge pine forest. Some hairy barbarians and woodland wild spirits live there and cover the woods with traps. They represent the main hostility of the region.

Map of the manse:

A.
The entry of the manse, an heavy door of stone in an crevice of the mountain. Six statues stand to both side of the door. Five of them have a solar caste symbol on them the last one remains mysterious...

B.
The tomb of the creator of the manse and the room where the earthstone cristallises as well. The walls are covered with frescos depicting ancient battles, glorifying the solar exalted. The tomb is a large sarcophagus sealed by a huge and heavy stone lid. The earthstone appears in a basin which is closed by steel bars.

C.
The dining room, living room. A big room with as furniture a long stone table and few benches and some coaches as well. Using 5 motes of essence a meal appears on the table.

D.
Another exit. It is possible to leave the manse from here, using this long and wide tunnel, the outside exit is concealed by plants. This exit was used by flying animals, probably mounts.

E.
Five bedrooms, each of them bears the symbol of one solar caste. It opens only if the right member of the caste uses 5 motes. They are all different, for example, the bedroom of the zenith is only a straw matress at the feet of an Unconquered Sun's statue and the eclipse bedroom is richly designed and very confortable...

F.
The library. It is not big but they are some books about the first age.

We recently learnt the Solar Spine was a pilgrimage for Dragon-Blooded! What a surprise to realize that the moutain by itself was a holy place of Pasiap the Earth Dragon. Immaculate monks came here for centuries!

And the Solar manse is right up their head! What a wonderful trick!
