*The Manor of the Lord Protector would normally be a rather busy place, though mostly military personnel, diplomats and envoys would tread through the gates back and forth to the manor, but these days another crowd would be heading through the gate. All sorts of carriages and deliveries would come to the Manor carrying foods of every kind, barrels of ale and mead. Even a band of musicians would make their way. The braziers would be lit and festive wreaths of pine would be hung on the metal steal fence surrendering the large Protectorate Manor. The arch atop the gate would be made into two metal dragons holding a Kettle in the middle from whence a fire would burn.*
*A red carpet would be rolled down from the gate towards the Manor going straight down the court yard. The large three stories manor made of black clay bricks and heavy wooden logs would stand as an intimidating monument to the economic power Lunorth had become over the years. Across many of the wooden beams banners of the Golden Dragon on a black background would hang and in the middle of the courtyard there would be a statue of a Golden Dragon. Behind it large heavy wooden doors would lead into the entrance hall to the Manor. *
*The inside of the manor would be made in a gothic Victorian style with dark wooden walls along with various oil paintings hanging in most rooms. Various common rooms could be found and most doors would be unlocked. One of the more memorable rooms would be the game room where the Lord Protector would keep most of his hunting trophies another would be a small chapel dedicated to Ignis with varies small statuettes of Ignis deities along with a bright fire burning in the middle of the room.*
*The rumors went wild around the City, a feast was to be held and clearly no expense was spared. As the gossip went wild the staff of the Protectorate Manor would make the final preparations making sure the guest rooms were cleaned and prepared, the barrels have been tapped and the food was being prepared in the kitchens. The Great Hall of the manor had been prepared with one large table going down the middle with seats on each side and one chair at the very end. The walls were decorated with Lunorth banners and braziers would stand by the walls. At the end of the Hall up against the wall a large wooden throne would stand covered in various furs and a pair of deer antlers protruding out from the top.*
*After a few days of preparations, the gates would be opened and the halls would be lit to welcome the invited guests with Dragon Legion Honour Guard standing at the gates letting the invited people entry into the courtyard. Behind the Honour Guard staff would greet the guests and lead them into the guest rooms before leading them into the great hall where the table would be set with clay plates and and mugs by each seat with various troths of fruit, cheese, bread and various cold meats spread around the long table.*
