The Radiant Well is the ducal Freehold of the Duchy of the Ozarks.
Overview[]
Radiant Well, the freehold of deposed duke Brendan MacLiam and his sluagh successor Kerry Dunwood, is one of the most unique in Concordia. Reached by traveling down a spiral staircase inside an old covered well, the freehold is a surprising blend of light and darkness. A doorway in the side of the well opens inward. Beyond the door, a tunnel gently lit by fluorescent-paint patterns leads into a large hall within which sets a replica of King Arthur's Round Table. Here, the Commonwealth Council meets to decide how the duchy is to be ruled, resolve grievances between changelings, and discuss projects.
Brendan's apartments within the freehold are filled with light and decorated in blue and silver. He keeps a suit of chimerical armor and his sword in his bedroom. Muffled by several intervening walls and doors, Brendan plays his Irish har. His collection of art glass is displayed throughout his quarters.
Kerry's rooms are quite different. While she talks and socializes far more than most sluagh when in the public rooms of the freehold, when allowed to retreat to her own space, Kerry prefers that it be dark, quiet, and restful. She thinks of her apartments as a haven more than a bedchamber.
