The Court of Mirrors is a Royal Freehold in Washington, D.C. in the Duchy of Dogwood.
Overview[]
High King David's secret court lies in the heart of Washington, D.C., set into a faerie glade filled with weeping willows, a brook, and wild rose bushes. The center of the freehold is an octagonal teahouse, its sides brushed with colors (rather than painted). Clean lines and surrounding gardens evoke harmony in all who visit.
Inside, comfortable but simple furnishings provide seating areas and small tables for tea ceremonies. Places for entertainers are available, and sleeping quarters are also provided. A central room is reached via a winding spiral staircase and holds nothing in it but eight large mirrors.
This room, which gives the freehold its name, is the meeting point for the trods that lead out of the site. Stepping into a mirror sets one on the corresponding trod. Of the eight trods, one remains unexplored.
By employing Dream-Craft, Kithain have ascertained that the unexplored trod opens into the Deep Dreaming, though they are uncertain of its exact position or whether those who venture ito it can return to the freehold. Despite this small mystery, the entire building is an oasis of serenity and simple beauty, mostly because of its designer and guardian, Ayame.
