The Shahram noble family turned a portion of its manor into a private ballroom, where it hosts fabulous parties to which few other noble families are invited. The holder of an invitation is the envy of Tyr’s aristocrats, but the plain papyrus cards stamped with a black circle and date are rare commodities.

The templars believe that the villa is the front for a cult, and that its parties are dark ceremonies. However, the nobles who attend the parties have great political influence, and the templars lack hard evidence that would substantiate the rumors. Thus, they have taken no action to investigate what might hide behind Blacksun Villa’s facade.
