What follows are the initial settings of Inmedae Menanceté's urban Adiraian townhouse.

... This is the front of Inmedae's grand U-shaped Adirai townhouse, at No. 14 Eviscent St., in the capital city. The front section houses the main reception and entertaining rooms-- the side portions are the domestic areas and etc.

Purchased when he was 21, it's continually in construction-- he has a mania for it. It was originally built in the late 1600s, originally several townhouses, but has been totally gutted and remodelled in latest fashion by Inmedae since. The Eviscent house is located before the large and busy Eviscent Square, and along that are the fashionable Senas Argeté streets and park. The main street of the Argeté is characterized by its canopy of trees, particularly revered for their Autumn foliage-- when one might walk beneath a cloud of flame. At the center of the main Eviscent street is a large fountain, atop which stands a personified and winged Adirai in gold, and marble figures representing the earliest and most celebrated alike of Inquisitors and statesmen. Four bronze statues representing the four corners of the Adiraian country sit on pedastals along the bottom.

Nearby the house, which spans an entire block, is the great Cathedral of Adirai (which can be seen in the background in the picture below), the famous park, as stated above, the grandest townhouses of the highest Adiraian aristocrats (though none equaling Inmedae's personal 'palace') as well as the highest-class fashionable shops and resturants in the city.

A side-street around Inmedae's townhouse in winter. Notice the onlookers in 18th century attire-- this is exact realism. People line up along the side enterances to see if they can capure a glimse of him exiting the home. Or, later, to shout at him for squandering money...

... A side of the Townhouse.There are 2 sides exactly like this that face streets-- extentions of the Eviscent. The rooms of these areas are composed of private quarters and guest quarters, and are not seen by the public.

Outside promenading hall which runs through the middle of the house's extensive courtyard; rather a shortcut from both sides as well as a folly of recreation.

The main stairs-- usually used for entertaining-- balls and receptions... This is the most extravagant area of the house, and the residents don't really 'live' here much.

A hall-- leading to the main balcony, which overlooks the main stairs.

The most formal and show-y room in the house-- the main hall-- leading to all formal rooms-- reception Rooms of State, Office of State, gallery hall, formal dining room, the main salons, the music and ballroom. The personal quarters of Inmedae are much more informal, small, intimate and dense with accessories, as he likes them. Design such as this is merely for show.

The ballroom in the townhouse, albeit rather unfurnished...

Inmedae's dining room for formal meals. Facing the courtyard.

Yellow gaming room, for parties. Inmedae loves gambling and cards, as well as billiards for indoor, after-diner 'sports'. One of the two other sitting rooms, billiard room, and main music room adjoining the Formal Dining Room.

The hall of the personal quarters of Inmedae. One door leads to his bedroom, the next to the main of his sitting rooms. The statue is of a historic Menanceté. It's mainly there to show how he cares for the duties of his family's legacy-- Of course, that's a load of crap. He couldn't really care one way or the other for his family history-- he's exceptionally "modern". But he still feels obligations now and again, which is why the statue is there.

Inmedae' private dining room, for small dinners with intimate friends, and where he dines with Sites many days. On the opposite side are balconies overlooking the park.

Drawing of what a window in Inmedae's bedroom might look like.

Inmedae (and Sites's) bed, perhaps... although horribly rendered.

A corner of Inmedae's main dressing room. One of the few informal personal quarters shown here. Off one door is his bathroom (with running water from a lovely marble wall-fountain), and 'closets'-- wardrobes and chests filled massively with his extremely expensive clothing collection.
Inmedae prides himself on being one of the most well-dressed men in all of Europe, and spends more on clothes than most well-to-do minor aristocrats earn in a year.

An informal room in Inmedae's quarters-- I think of it as -- Inmedae's Afternoon Room. He can lounge about on chaise lounges with Sites and eat chocolates, or something, after lunch; or play cards with Miss Amarinth, perhaps.

Just a little parlor, somewhere.

... North Side morning room; or 'promenade' room of Cassisa's apartments-- with a noticible style divergance from Inmedae's area and the rest of the house-- Inmedae is a tad more elaborate, not to mention 'flowery and pastel' with decorating.

Cassisa's bedroom.

Sites's bedroom in his own small, but fashionable townhouse. Bought and paid for by Inmedae, of course. Even though Sites spends most of his year with Inmedae at his various houses.

Random things:

... A cartoon of what it might look like to go to one of Inmedae's (in)famous masquerade parties. :)

... And a fantastic gaming party that might be held. The ladies in large gowns are most assuredly French

Hmm...
