High Seer’s Mansion

Purpose / Function

The Seer Mansion is the official residence and workplace of the High Seer of End'oria. It once upon a time was castle-like but has since been downgraded in order to show humbleness and to lessen environmental impact. Additionally, it also serves as the principal office of the High Seer's cabinet.

Alterations

Has gone through some attacks and destructions in the past, but has always been re-built and given love. It is a sacred symbol of the End'orian spirit of preserverance and vitality.

Was a much larger building once upon a time but they lopped off the large wings that served very little purpose anymore. After the demolition of the east and west wings, those spots instead extended the Seer gardens, providing fresh fruit to the High Seer and their family, visitors, and the local markets.

Around the 300s, contractors were commissioned to create a rainwater storage system, which not only gathered water but dispersed it to the gardens surrounding the building in times of droughts. The contractors did one better, and created a water recycling system in the mansion that took that rainwater and moved it throughout the pipes, getting purified with magic systems, and then being dispersed for use in the mansion.

Architecture

A building made of brick, with slanted, tiled roofs, curved at the eaves and only slightly extends further than the walls. They offer shade to the verandas below, keeps rain off them, and that's about the extent. The building was later equipped with a rain water storage system and has minimal impact on the environment surrounding it.

There are four floors to the building in all. The first floor has a conference room, which the High Seer and Minister of State hold their press conferences. The second floor is for Cabinet meetings, summits, amongst other things (including an occasional celebration or holiday). The third floor is where the High Seer and their family live and do family things. And finally, the fourth floor has the High Seer's office, their Reception Room, and the Chief Cabinet Minister's office.

Defenses

A magic boundary surrounds the building to protect it from overall harm, which is updated every so often. It typically keeps bad folk out, and is better than employing a full slection of body guards for the High Seer. It allows for a handful of body guards who maintain the boundary, update it, and publicly follow the High Seer.

History

The High Seer's Mansion has existed for thousands of years, having seen the rise and fall of kingdoms and later seereins. It's been destroyed quite a few times, rebuilt every time. It's been damaged from earthquakes a few times, fixed up.

Tourism

Visitors to End'oria will often make a visit to the Seer Mansion to see the beauty of the building and perhaps take some fruit from the Seer's garden. However, to visit the inside, one must sign up for a tour. Sure, if they have bad intentions, the boundary will keep them out. However, extra safety measures never hurt anyone. Especially when constantly dealing with human strife.
