The House of Fate is Sylvie Perrault's cottage, a converted home that serves as both sanctuary and shrine. During Session 2, Rowan returned here for the night after his investigations. Inside, warmth greeted him: herbs drying from rafters, blankets folded for weary guests, and a loom-carved altar lit by candles. It is less temple than refuge, a place where the burdens of Gascar are met with tea and counsel.
Sylvie explained that balm-mint found in Pierre's cup did not come from her hand. Though she keeps such herbs, she never slipped them unasked. She suggested Elodie Laval, who often fetched herbs and offered them with kindness, may have been responsible. This clarified that Pierre's acceptance of such a tea was unusual for him, and may reveal fear or persuasion unseen by villagers.
Rowan ended his day here, sharing lighter conversation and laughter with Sylvie over tea. In this way, the House of Fate provided not only information but a restorative pause. Its role is central as Rowan's base in Gascar: a place to return, to rest, and to sift truth from fear in companionship. The chamber reserved for traveling Chroniclers gave Rowan peace at last, showing Sylvie's foresight in preparing welcome for those called by Fate.
