Nejek'ken Governor's Mansion
Summercamp Prompt: A building or landmark used for, or associated with, communication.
The Governor's Mansion was constructed in Dank'k Nejek'ken ten years ago, following the Strashya Atoll being Marked by Exile by the Gishani Marshall's Office. It is the base of operations for Jhoutigari action in the area, which is overseen by Armun the Miser.
Rising high from one wing of the mansion is the new radio tower, constructed as an alternative to the Radio Tower of Strashya, which was decommissioned and dismantled to prevent anyone inside of the Exile zone from communicating out or being communicated with from outside. Under the gracious provision of Armun, vistors from the towns of the Atoll are allowed to come to the radio tower to recieve approved-on communications from the outside world, such as the status of family members.
The mansion welcomes visitors from the nearby towns, and Armun is happy to provide a lavish dinner for anyone who accepts his offer to either be transported to Dratn Mannumetra, or stay and help him grow the Atoll into a city once matters with Xetto the Pugnacious have been resolvd.
Armun is an eager host with a deep reserve of liquors and an understated passion for cooking. His dishes are tempting, but to eat them is to surrender to his terms.
The governor's mansion, situated at the end of a lane of carefully cultivated trees with bright blue blossoms, beckons your gazeup to the granite stairs and through the wide-open double doors of its entrance. Even from the end of the lane you can see through the house and into the private garden and arboretum behind it, where coveted species from all across Jhoutai grow in fruitful abundance.
No matter where you stand in town, the radio tower jutting from the top of the mansion reminds you of its presence, and of its uncontested control over the local airwaves. At all hours of the day, you can tune your Comm to it for updates on the weather, planetary news, Pact news, and a repeated recording of the Mark of Exile as told by Commander Amvyron.

'His dishes are tempting, but to eat them is to surrender to his terms.' Just like a fae. Let's not eat his food. :D
