The citadel's many towers overlook a great Oasis in the barren desert. In the distance you can see the solar farms sparkling in the sun. The wealth of those solar farms has been ploughed into the many towers of the tall citadel, dwarfing even the tall bantas trees that line its roads and pathways. Unlike the House of Feedor who ride big cats and to whom they owe their allegiance, they ride the giant serpents of the desert. They feed these snakes the prized chickens the House is famous for.
There is in fact a Chicken Tower in the citadel given over to the study of raising and cooking the birds. They are also keen on collecting and cross breeding the birds. Although the region is famous for its Fan Crowned Chickens they do not wish to lose their monopoly on them so they are now trying to promote a new breed for export called the plum chickens with fat red wattles.
There are several chicken related restaurants in the citadel each with their own specialities. The most prized of these is the Sun Bird which is on the top of the Advisors Tower and has a glass domed ceiling that catches the sun at midday and the moon at midnight. It is a popular spot and hard to get a table. The Lord Stanus Jono often dines their with his friends and family. The locals wearing green robes signifies that they were born in the oasis, though this display of identity is encouraged it is not mandatory.
There is also an annual chicken festival that goes on for three days and includes bird beauty contests as well as competitive cooking and feather headdress making. The birds are a central motif found all over the citadel.
The rules of the citadel are quiet strict and people are expected to keep up a certain level of decorum at all times. Officially drinking, gambling and prostitution are outlawed but these things go on in the higher reaches of the Clerks Tower, that has been taken over by those of a low social status.
As far away as geographically possible from the Chicken Tower is the Serpent Tower. This tall stable allows the creatures to slither upwards from floor to floor on a pole that runs down a disused elevator shaft.
