Steel River's Home

The home of the martial artist, thief, and killer known as The Steel River is located in Bajapur in the Street of Soft Rains, at number 16. It is a small house with a five-foot fence and a small courtyard at the front, with a pattern of curling waves carved into the front door. The interior is tastefully decorated with dark wood floors and inkbrush art hanging on the walls. There are interior doors to the right and left, and a passage deeper into the building while stairs lead up.
The door to the left slides aside to reveal a study or meditation room, with a series of charts showing how to focus chi energy into the body via breathing methods, and a thick mat on the floor where a student would kneel to meditate. Scrolls and books contain more martial arts information. One of the looseleaf books shows the basics of the Su Chi Academy style, and a primer on the methods of several other schools.
The room to the right is dedicated to calligraphy and art, with an easel and a comfortable chair, with a selection of brushes and inks. Art shows basics of the Raging River style.
Deeper into the building is a large and simple open kitchen, with glazed paper windows allowing in light. An open door leads out the back to a small, well-tended garden, with a loosely-woven curtain screening out insects. The garden has apparently not been tended in a few weeks. A comfortable lounge area contains a low table and cushions surrounding it. Underneath the stairs is a door leading to a storage pantry containing basic items, with a very fine patina of dust indicating it has not been touched in a week or two.
A landing surrounds the top of the stairs in a horseshoe pattern, with a pair of double-doors at the centre and another door at either end of the horseshoe. The double door opens to reveal a small but well-appointed dojo, with mats on the floor and glaives and nine-sectioned flails on the walls. A small shrine at one end has a carven raging water pattern, with burned incense and candles in front of the ancestor shrine. A hollow concealed under the shrine is currently empty. Windows slide open to reveal the back garden. A very large mirror takes up much of one wall, possibly for use in developing his martial style.
The next room is a spare bedroom, with rumpled bedclothes and large indoor plants scattered around. A few thumb-sized dead wasps lie on the windowsill, with black and metallic green bands on their abdomen, betraying the fact the room was likely used by the Jade Wasp.
The room to the right is Steel River's bedroom. A large double bed is perfectly made, with expensive art on the wall and an open wardrobe containing more of River's fine robes. The room is well-appointed and very tidy with nothing out of place, with the exception of a box which was wrapped with fabric and a gold ribbon before it was opened. The open box holds a cushion bearing the imprint of an s-shaped item. Careful investigation revealed it to be the imprint of a nine-sectioned flail staff, and the residue of magic left behind is constantly changing chaotically. The silk wrapping fabric bears a geometric pattern, and the whole appears to have been either a very expensive purchase or an incredibly lavish gift, suitable for a Mogul. Two types of lacquer have been used on the inside bottom of the box: glossy and matte. The symbol of Rawhn is marked with the matte lacquer. A chest of drawers contains varied knick-knacks, including a drawer with two hundred gil plates, and another drawer with jewellery worth five hundred gold.
A concealed trapdoor above the bed opens into a dusty storage space. There is disassembled heirloom-quality furniture stored within, along with items like a set of high-quality crockery and china which would be worth a thousand gil by itself.
The entire house has the feeling of being cleaned out and put into storage for an indefinite period of time.
