Ferry Building

The Ferry Building is a chimerically active site in San Francisco's Embarcadero.

Overview

A quaint anachronism to mortal eyes, the Ferry Building is a bit more spectacular when one looks through Glamour-tinted shades. While the plaques boast that once thousands of feet crossed its floors every day, chimerically speaking they still do. That's right, chimerical feet, detached from any semblance of a body, constantly pace back and forth hurrying from one gate to another in a mad dance which none can explain. Somewhat predictably, the local Kithain have taken to calling these chimera the Happy Feet, and San Francisco's childlings consider dodging them as they scurry to and fro tremendous sport.

The building itself gleams as if made of new-forged bronze when seen by the fae, and its faux-Moorish touches acquire a startling authenticity. Inside, a stairway of cool white stone winds up and up and up, higher than one would think the building could contain. Huge smooth banisters sprout from the walls, large enough to slide down. It is odd that a building that was once a gateway to labor for so many has become such a playground in its old age, but the ways of Glamour are strange.

Supposedly, the roof is a favorite haunt of a bean sidhe, or banshee. Lately this creature has been seen again, singing songs that discerning listeners claim to be Duke Aeon's compositions. The duke, through his courtiers, has no official comment on the matter.
