Description
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
During the events that led up to the revival of Vulcadreaus, the Rookery collapsed when an earthquake struck Darkveil City. It has been left in ruin for multiple months, however efforts to rebuild have slowly begun.
The Rookery is a bar located in Darkveil City on the opposite side of the Town Square from the Dancer's Den. This establishment is attached to the base of an old clock tower that has long since stopped functioning and now serves as a public space for allies of Zarius Rha'Oriyn and his family's staff.
History
Previous owners of the property had expanded the building with various additions over the years with no clear intention of making a cohesive design. As such, various random businesses have been run out of the structure as it passed hands. After the mysterious disappearance of its last proprietor, the building had been left abandoned for years. It was most recently acquired by Zarius Rha'Oriyn to serve as a base of operations for his espionage business and also as a place his allies can gather and exchange information.
Features Large House
Rookery Lounge
Speakeasy
Located on the ground floor of the building, the main lounge is a large open space which predominately features a large bar. There are enough tables and private booths to seat a modest number of patrons. Enchanted ever-glowing lights illuminate the space enough to create a comfortable social atmosphere. Adorning the shelves and walls are a number of pieces of memorabilia from various travels partaken by the bar's proprietor. Kitchen and Cellar
Towards the back of the bar is a separate prep and storage space. The kitchen has everything that would be expected to find in any run-of-the-mill tavern in Darkveil City. The attached cellar is quite deep with shelves of casks of various kinds of alcohol smuggled from across Charon including fine wine from a certain vineyard and winery located in Zeinav.
Zarius' Chambers and Study
Located in a renovated addition to the clocktower, Zarius' personal chambers is centrally located for ease access to the rest of the building. The main room is two stories tall with a loft which adds more useable area to the space. Beneath the loft is Zarius' personal library and study. Bookcases line the walls of the study which also includes a coffee table and three comfy armchairs. The loft is where the bed is located as well as a few dressers and wardrobes. Exposed beams run throughout the space and Ebony, Zarius' kitten, can often be found hiding up on them. 
Resident Chambers
Caedes Oleander's RoomLocated midway up the clocktower, Caedes' room has been converted into a space he shares with Charlotte, his prismatic spider.
Askr Mimameith's Room Located in one of the additions to the clocktower, Askr's room is remarkably understated, with very little going on with it beyond the necessities; there is a small bed shoved in the corner, one with a worn burgundy quilt and a few old pillows neatly settled over it, a nightstand beside it, a small desk with carefully organized papers and a single quill, a dark oak-wood chair, and a dresser in that same shade. It is barely lived-in, still, as Askr continues to learn how to carve out a space for himself; there are small signs of life, though, such as a jar of seashells on the dresser, a perpetually-forgotten empty glass left on the desk, a piece of paper with the common alphabet carefully scrawled on it pinned to the wall beside his bed, and a little statuette of a duckling nestled beside an ornate hourglass on the nightstand.
Located in one of the newer additions to the clocktower, Cyran's room is rather plain, with only the bare necessities. A single bed has been shoved in the corner, a dresser on the far wall, a plain rug, and a wooden chair left next to the window. Decorations are kept sparse- there is a bird feeder outside the window, and a few small eclectic trinkets and books left on top of the dresser. The rug, bedsheets, and curtains are all equally as simple, in various hues of deep blue and purple. Iryla's RoomLocated in one of the newer additions to the clocktower, Iryla's room is a small but comfortable space in the Rookery. She has very few belongings of her own, but as she's grown more comfortable she's started to gather nicknacks and decorations. The bed is clearly the most used area in the room, piled with as many blankets and pillows as she could easily squirrel away. There are a few miscellaneous sketchbooks scattered across the floor and the table beside her bed all in various states of 'completion'. On her bedside table also rests a small carving of a bird made of wood, and beside that there is a fine wooden box likely used to store some kind of jewelry. Clock Tower
The old clocktower has long since stopped functioning, now only serving as a landmark amongst Darkveil City's skyline. The UndergroundWar Room (Add an extra +5 security to completed political quest)
Beneath the building itself is the remnants of an old smuggler's den with various escape tunnels. The space has been repurposed as a secure meeting place for Zarius, his allies, and his staff. There is a large table which is used for planning out missions, large maps of the city, Zeinav, and Charon hanging from the walls, a few weapons racks, and some spare beds set up for the staff or anyone needing to lay low for a bit. One part of this chamber has been filled with sand and set up as small training space with a few straw stuffed targets.

Eameia Rha'Oriyn Female Fellblood (She/Her)The second oldest child of Anselm and Zewala, Eameia is a female Fellblood with short horns the wrap back behind her head with a slight upwards tilt at the ends. She has her mother's eyes and long curly black hair that she often wears in a single bulky braid. Eameia is slightly short than her older brother and has a very small and delicate frame.
Her looks are deceiving, as she is an incredibly powerful caster in her own right, having a natural talent for various domains of magic. She takes after her mother a lot, though she has picked up more of her father's quiet brutality when it is called for. She gets along well with her brothers, taking particular joy in teasing them both. Her best friend is Eirynor whom she often confides in. Eameia pooled her savings with her brother in order to buy the Rookery together. They share ownership of the space an use it as a base of operations for Zarius' criminal activity. Eameia handles the finances of the business and sometimes runs the front of the bar. While she still lives at their family home, she spends a lot of her time at the Rookery and is eager to make friends with its other residents. Eameia aspires to join the Mage's Guild one day. EirynorMale Half-Elf (He/Him/They/Them)Eirynor is a transgender male half-elf (dark) with short windswept white hair and indigo tinged skin. He stands at 6' tall with a willowy build. Eirynor transitioned during his recovery from a violent and abusive situation which happened shortly before being picked up by Zarius' family. While his injuries have healed, physical trauma from the abuse has left him completely mute.
Eirynor originally worked for Zarius' family, specifically for Zarius' sister, Eameia, acting as her personal guard, right hand man, and confidant. Eirynor has always been by Eameia's side, guarding her with his life and having formed a close friendship with the female Fellblood. He was reassigned to work directly under Zarius by Anselm after the acquisition of the Rookery. When Eirynor is not on missions, he can be found at the Rookery acting as the main bartender for the public facing part of the establishment.
Eirynor has a hard time connecting with people outside of Zarius' family due to his communication limitations. He is a very quiet and private person to begin with, seemingly always focused on his work and carrying out orders without hesitation. While he cares very deeply for Eameia, their relationship is completely platonic. Eirynor respects Zarius, though does not hold him in as high regards as he does his sister. SnowNonbinary Catfolk (They/Them)Snow is a nonbinary snow leopard catfolk who works for Zarius and helps with operations from time to time using their skills as a ranger. The catfolk is easily recognized by their thick grey fur coat with black spots and their bright blue eyes. Snow is a dexterous hunter, specializing in using a longbow as well as climbing and landing on their feet even from great heights.
Originally hailing from Frost Gale, Snow met Zarius in the Pale City during an investigation into a caravan shipment that had gotten lost in a snow storm. Zarius hired the catfolk as a guide and after a few more encounters across Charon, they started to form a healthy partnership. Zarius had tried to recruit Snow previously, though they had always rejected the formal employment offers due to the risks. Snow was finally formally recruited after Zarius acquired the Rookery.
Being a gentle soul by nature, Snow had a hard time adjusting to the nature of the work Zarius and his family partook in. Snow tends to avoid unnecessary violence and cruelty as much as possible and is not opposed to calling Zarius out when they witness such behaviors from the Fellblood. Wanting to keep their nose out of the messy politics of Darkveil and Zarius' shadier business, Snow mainly works in the field acting as a guide or traveling companion or traveling on their own across Charon on Zarius' behalf. Shael CaiwynnFemale Dark Elf (She/Her)Shael Caiwynn is a young Dark Elf originally from Frost Gale. She has been trained as a drake rider and a blade weilder by the Ash Land Dvoryanin. Fairly short and small of frame, Shael does not look particularly intimidating, though she does have a sharp glare. Her skin is lilac purple in color and her hair is striped with black and white. In her youth, she was picked up by the Ash Land Dvoryanin and adopted into their culture after she was found wandering the border with her drake wyrmling without any proper gear or knowing where she was. Shael claims to not remember anything about her life before the Ash Land Dvoryanin, but it's unclear if she actually has amnesia or if she just doesn't want to talk about it. Zarius ended up hiring her on after an altercation with the Borderland Dvoryanin and the Red Riders during one of their races in King's Valley. Shael's best friend is her storm drake named Indra, they've been together for what seems like forever and share a strong bond. Being what is essentially a teenager by elf standards, Shael is going through her edgy rebellious phase often resorting to being snarky or rude even to those in places of authority. Shael has a hard time making friends with people her own age, or any age really as she has some social anxiety. She is slow to trust others and would rather rely only on herself. EbonyExotic FelineEbony is a melanistic (black) serval (exotic feline) of small size. While not bred for combat, the cat makes a very welcoming partner, sweet, kind and cuddly. Cats can be used to retrieve or carry items, and can use its natural claws or teeth to defend itself.
