River Landing (CTD)
River Landing is a Freehold of Duchess Igrania in the Duchy of Magnolia's Home.
Overview
Igrania's original freehold, as opposed to Magnolia's Home, this lovely antebellum mansion doubles as a palatial structure in the Dreaming near Natchez. To the mortal world, the 200+ year-old house appears worn and dilapidated, a prime candidate for either historic restoration or the wrecker's ball... that is, if anyone could remember its existence for long enough to do anything about it. The house's protective magic dissuades non-Kithain from paying attention to it for more than a few minutes as a time.
Igrania has graced its chimerical reality with her expert and loving touch. It has blossomed under her care in the Dreaming and serves as a showcase for visiting Kithain and local changelings, including several nanehi. The rooms are light and airy, and all of them are filled with the delicate scent of fresh flowers. Tall cypress trees draped in moss surround the mansion, which fronts on a flowing chimerical river nearly the width of the real-world's Father of Waters.
Boats crafted from Dreamstuff lie moored at the pier that forms a private dock for the mansion. Igrania occasionally takes her guests on short boat rides along this river of dreams, though she does not dare stray out of sight of the freehold.
