The Golden Manse
Standing amidst a busy street, surrounded by weathered wooden buildings, this building of shining marble and gold bands makes a bold statement of wealth and power. Finely dressed folks walk in and out, some leaving happier than they arrived, others not so much. Guards can be spotted from nearly every corner, security clearly a concern. The double doors that seal the entrance boast a large insignia of five coins, each with a different phrase, perfectly situated between the edges of the doorframes. The Golden Manse opens for business across the lands with a charming smile.
The entire building sprawls out along the street for a couple of miles, littered with small areas serving as parks for the wealthy while they deal with financial business. All transactions done on the grounds of the Manse are protected by Manse law and laws from outside the gates of the Gold Manse do not apply to anything done inside.
Located in every building are individuals wearing tunics with lines of copper. Each of these people negotiate business for the Manse, handle financial transactions for account holders, and take inventory of their stations. Each tunic bears a number of copper lines, except for one. A kobold takes stock of their surroundings, clad in a tunic made of copper fabric. They nod at a few of the others before moving on.
In each section are additional people, their tunics lined with silver lines. For the customers with a bit more of a difficult situation, these people step in with a smile on their face. The tunics seem to follow a similar ranking system, with one person wearing a silver colored tunic as he walks the forward section of the Manse. He carries himself with purpose, taking note of anything particularly difficult for his people.
Walking a bit further in reveals areas with tighter security, people clad in clothing line with electrum. Each individual clearly carries themselves with clear purpose, eyes scanning their surroundings. They seem to be guards of some sort, alert and attentive to any changes. A female dragonborn, bearing leather armor adorned with electrum inlays, patrols the entire Manse.
Deep within the inner sanctum of the Manse sits five small chambers. Each door bears a gold inlay, each more intricately designed than the previous. The five individuals located within are specialists, capable of handling the most discreet of accounts. At the end of the day, four of them report to the fifth, a female drow bearing a golden circlet upon her brow.
A singular figure wears bracers made of platinum, making his way in and out of the grounds. He remains completely unmolested by the Shields of Red Harbor, seeming to be an extension of the grounds of the Manse on his own. He visits a few of the larger homes in the city, always leaving with a sly smile.
The only person no one can ever place at the Golden Manse would be the Master of Coin, an individual said to be a mastermind behind many transactions legal and illegal. None save the five Masters of Metals can identify them, a fact they very much enjoy. Current Master of Coin - Urx (???) Master of Platinum - (Tiefling male, rogue inquistive)
Master of Gold - (Drow female, rogue scout)
Master of Electrum - (Dragonborn female, fighter rune knight)
Master of Silver - (Air genasi male, warlock pact of the genie/efreet)
Master of Copper - Eppo (Kobold Dragon Sorcerer)
